Now that I am no longer planning a wedding (which btw I can't tell you how happy I am about this)I don't need a blog called Planning Our Wedding. I have decided even though I didn't have a lot of followers on my wedding blog that I would not give up blogging and am working on a new blog.
The new blog is titled Living Life As A Newlywed and will consist of me writing about everyday life and my journey as a new wife interested to see if married life changes things after being with each other for 7 years and living together before marriage. I encourage all the 14 people who follow me now (not a joke) to please start following me on my new blog. This is definitely going to be a change for me trying to figure out something interesting to write instead of writing about our wedding plans.
My first post will be about our fabulous honeymoon so go check it out!!!!!!!!!!! Like Now! Go!!!!!!!!!!!

Went from Being a Ms. to a Mrs.
Well hello lovelies!
Oh how I've missed thee. Well I am finally back from our honeymoon and am now Mrs. Heather A. Lopez!!!!!! The wedding was beautiful! I have to first say that everything went by soooooooooo fast, most of it is a total blur.
So I got up early that morning and we had our hair appointments that started at 9 a.m. Then after our hair was done we went to one of my bridesmaids house to get our makeup done. Then around 2:30 p.m. I headed to the venue to finish setting up what I needed to set up. Around 3 is when the bridal party arrived at the venue to get ready. It was very hard for me to stay in the back room and not have control of what needed to be done. Trusting friends to give the flowers to the right grandparents and parents, etc. etc.
Once it was time to start walking out, I got soooooooooo nervous and couldnt believe this was finally happening. As soon as I get to the aisle runner to walk down I LOST it!!!!!!!!!!! I mean completely lost it!!!!!!!!!!! I was crying like a baby. I can't even tell you why! I didn't notice anything except for Joey. I didn't see the people in the aisles, our wedding party or even the flowers on the ground. My face was sooooo red and I must say I was taken totally off guard by it.
The ceremony was beautiful but we did have just a few blunders. The first was our vows. I found the vows that I wanted us to say from online. As soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect for us. Its a little non traditional and contemporary and a little long. Here is what we vowed to each other:
I, ______, choose you, ______, to be my wife/husband. I love you. You are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.
So at some point when I'm saying my vow I have to get the pastor to repeat the sentence 2x!!!!!!!! Not just once but twice. I'm telling you I was a wreck. The next blunder was our outer candles for our unity candle wasnt lit. So when it got time to light the candle we had to stop and ask someone for a lighter! LOL
Other than that the night was great. Just wish it wouldn't have gone by soooo fast. It will be a little while before I get our wedding pictures but here is a sneak peek!

Thankful Thursday
With 2 days away from our wedding, I wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey. We started out with a 14 month engagement and it has been a long and mostly stressful process. I have enjoyed most of it but probably would have lost my mind without the help of friends, blogger friends and family to help me get through.
I am very lucky to have so many people that love me and support me. This is why we have such a large wedding party! First I want to say thank you to my few blogger friends who have helped give me advice and words of encouragement to get through some of the madness that is wedding planning!
Next I want to thank my wonderful friends and wedding party for just being them and being our friends!!!!!! Most of them have been with us from the very beginning back in 2003!!!!! It has been a long and wonderfully sometimes bumpy ride and we are so glad to have always had yalls support even when we made a maybe not so smart decision back in the day.
To our family, we want you know that yall mean the world to us! We had this big wedding so that yall could be a part of it and enjoy the day with us. We are soooo thankful for everything yall have done for us and supporting us through the good times and the bad. We love yall very much!
To those that are no longer with us, we miss you dearly! Words can not express how much we wish you were here. Dad, I wish you were here to walk me down the aisle. I will be thinking of you and so glad you and Joey got to spend time together before you passed away. Grandpa and Grandma Hill, I wish sooooo badly that you could have met Joey. Papa you would have loved him. He loves baseball just as much as you did. Yall would have gotten along great!
Well thanks again everyone for your support and encouragement and we love you!!!!!!!!!!1

Wedding Wednesday {4.21.10}
Well I've finally got my dress!!!!!!!!!!!! It turned out great! I also had a dress made to change into later during the reception. The only thing I have to say about the whole dress thing is I wish I would have actually lost some weight. It makes me sad that I'm back at my heaviest for the most important day of my life. I guess I'm just so disappointed in myself for not following through with it. I've been having a really hard time with this lately.
I don't know what it is but I have a little control problem that probably comes from the madhouse that I grew up in. But the only thing I can't seem to control is my weight and problem with food. I dont really want to talk about it anymore because I am supposed to be happy that I'm getting married this weekend. And yes I know I'm by no means "fat" but because I am only 5'4" I am bigger than what I would like to be.
To lighten up the mood I've decided to share my dresses with you all. Joey has not seen my wedding dress and luckily he does not read my blog! So without further adue here they are:

Tisk Task Tuesday {4.20.10}
Countdown: 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, I cant believe I'm finally getting married in 4 days! I have been so stressed making sure that I'm not forgetting anything and hoping that the logistics of the wedding go smoothly and of course wanting to make sure everyone has a good time.
The only thing we have left to do is finish packing and putting everything in my car. Later today we meet with our officiate for the first time together. We have a pretty good idea of how the ceremony is going to go but just looking over everything one last time. We have to pick Joey's dad up from the airport late Wednesday night and then Thursday right after work I leave to Katy to stay with my best friend and foster family. Friday we have our nail appointment and then I'll be heading to our venue around 3 to drop off the rest of our items and set up.
Then our rehearsal starts at 5pm on Friday and after the rehearsal we are heading to dinner at Los Cucos. Then Saturday I will be Mrs. Joey Lopez!!!!!!
