| After you got engaged, did you notice that your friendships with single friends changed? I guess I'm mostly addressing those of you who are still in college, like me. After me and Keith got engaged, a few of my friends openly expressed that they didn't think I should be getting married so young and so forth. As much as I hate to admit it, those comments tore me away, emotionally, from those people. There are other ways to discuss your concerns than saying, "You shouldn't get married!" I do understand why they are concerned, but if I had ANY doubts, I would not have said "yes". It's just so frustrating sometimes.

| A few weekends ago, Meghan and I took a trip to Shreveport to a bridal boutique and we found the real bridesmaid dress. lol. I hope not to change my mind again, but I really think this is the dress. I talked to the lady, now all I have to do is get everyone's measurements and put the order in... but that won't be necessary until the summer.
Anyways, we decided on this Jim Hjelm dress.
 
Before I went to Shreveport, I went to a different bridal boutique to look at the dress I had chosen before, but it just didn't look as good as I thought it would. So, I found the above dress and thought it would be more beautiful and pracitcal. I also thought the ladies would like it more since the fabric is a little thicker and MUCH more forgiving... and the dress is GORGEOUS! I just wish the website had a better photo... one where she isn't sitting.
Although I've gotten a good deal of the planning done, I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the details left.
I still need to...
- Find a baker/choose a cake
- Look into whether to use a catering company or not.
- Get guys' and girls' measurements
- Pick out suits for men
- FIND A DJ!!!!!
That's all I can think of. Ugh. That's still a lot. I'm also in search of the "perfect" shoe. I want some beautiful, colorful shoes to wear with my dress. :)

| It is located here
I like it best with the black underlay.
I am going to a bridal shop on Saturday with Brittany (a bridesmaid) and hopefully they will have this exact dress! :) And I hope it will look as fabulous in person as it does online.

| Today the Bridal Boutique called to tell me that my veil was in and I have to pick it up in 30 days. Yeah, because I make so many trips to Baton Rouge. lol. Oh well, I'm super excited to get it... and wear it around like a psycho bride. :)
Going to look at the Norton Building tomorrow and, hopefully, BOOK it! I will be so relieved once the reception area is taken care of.
