So um...I guess this was a pretty big week for me.
In case you didn't hear, I GOT ENGAGED!
I'm pretty excited about it.
In case you didn't hear, I GOT ENGAGED!
I'm pretty excited about it.
If you, for some reason, want a bunch of info and suchness about my upcoming wedding, I have a pinterest board devoted to it. It's kinda cool. BUT nobody expect to hear wedding bells too soon, we're shooting to get married probably sometime in June, 2015. I NEED TIME TO PLAAAAAAN! Speaking of which...wedding planner...yay or nay? We're broke so budget is a definite issue but I've heard some people say you can't live without 'em and they help cut costs, and others say they're unnecessary. Opinions?
Some of you may not know this but, we'll be getting married in Ohio. It's where we're both from and our entire families are. I want us to get married in the church I grew up in (and in which my parents got married). And it's going to be a HUGE wedding. Like....I don't want to have over 300 people but that might not happen. *sigh* Big Italian/Irish Catholic families, ya know!

This is St. Mary's, the church I grew up in and my parents got married in, and that we'll be married in! :)(this is it during Christmas time, it's not always so golden looking lol, that's also the lighting in the photo) (image source) |
Also, can we just discuss for a minute HOW MUCH I adore my bloggy friends?? The outpouring of love and excitement I got from them/you for the engagement has been so touching and exciting! PLUS I got a very special shipment full of goodies courtesy of Laura from Pies and Plots, just because we're friends and she wanted to give me some Christmas gifts. I mean...seriously. I love you guys. :')

Once Upon A Time-Baby Henry was super adorable. But then child Henry and Pan's eyes flashed and I went "That can't be good..." and now Pan has switched bodies with him. Great. Just...great. :(
Supernatural-OH MAN! This sucks! Sad about Kevin, sad about Sam and not-Ezekiel, *harumph* the only good thing is that Cas is an angel again.
Modern Family-Lily is my favorite.
South Park-heheheee Princess Kenny and the betrayal garden are never gonna be not funny. Also, they're all wrong, America you're wrong. PS4 should've won.
The Originals-remember when all I wanted was for Klaus to die on TVD? How did they make me like him?!
The Big Bang Theory-I think Michael and I may be Howard & Bernadette. Except less Jewish and not blonde, respectively.
The Vampire Diaries-I had a feeling Enzo was gonna still be there, poor guy. Also I fully DO NOT support Katherine & Stefan together. Uck. I'm with Caroline on all of this.
Once Upon A Time in Wonderland-I knew the older guy was the sultan.
