For anyone who follows
me on social media, you’re probably already aware that Tommy and I got engaged
this past December while we were in Thailand!
Our trip to Asia is an overdue post, but I hope to find some time to
share our experiences from that soon. That being said, this is such a special
time in my life for said reasons and more!
There will be no shortage of laborious days ahead and for that reason; I’ve
decided to document the events leading up to the wedding. The first being the bridesmaid proposals!
Like any fanatical
bride-to-be, I wanted to find a creative way to make my bridesmaid proposals simple,
yet intimate for each one of my girls. As
those closest to me already know, I take the art of ‘gift-giving’ (yes, it’s
considered an ‘art’ to me) very seriously. Every detail that went into these
proposal gifts – from the color of the boxes to the filler inside was conceived
through spiritual mediation where several good friends
of mine lost their lives (RIP Moscato, Pinor Noir, Chardonnay, and the $5 wine
from Sams Club whose name I forget).
Choosing my bridesmaids
will be the second easiest decision I will make throughout this wedding planning
process (the first was saying ‘yes’ to Tommy).
The girls I chose are the sweetest, smartest, and funniest girls I know and
while they are 4 of my closest friends/family members, they have also been exceptionally
active in coming to know and love Tommy the last 4 years we’ve been together. I cannot describe in words the extent of my
excitement to have had them all say ‘yes’ (nevermind that snipers were on standby in
the case that any of them said 'no'). To avoid overkill, I only snapped photos of a couple of the boxes, though they were all synonymous. Scroll down for photos & details!
