We got our pictures!!

On saturday we had our engagement picture session and IT WENT SO GOOD
Steve was totally amazing and great to work with
Last night he sent us the proofs to look through so that we could mark the ones we want editted and so on. A lot of them turned out really good and I am so glad we had so many to chose from! I cant wait to see the final product I know that Steve will do a great job!

The wedding is coming up way fast and I have a bunch of mixed emotions. I have a lot I want to get done and a lot that I NEED to get done but I am trying to take it one step at a time so i dont have a freak out moment or lose my head! I cant wait to see how it all comes together. I have a few odds and ends I need to get done but other than that we are pretty much waiting for the day to arrive.

Bret went back to his old job today and I am pretty excited for him, I want him to have steady work that he loves so that he doesnt worry about money or get bored sitting at home all day. The toguhest part of our relationship has been the work situation so far but we have gotten through it stronger each time and I know we will continue to do good and love each other. We are trying to work on our communication and get better about how we approach certain situations but I know it all takes time but we will get there. We have the rest of our lives to work through stuff!

I will post pictures soon! I can't wait to have them and start working on the wedding announcements :)

54 Days

So Lucky in Love

I feel this blog has become my vent station.

I want to be able to show more of the good side of this blog though

I am so lucky to be marrying Bret. I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with him

He puts up with my crazy moods and my cry baby moments.

He never once has given up on me or left me

He is always the one who pushes through

I love him with all my heart and I dont know where I would be without him

I am a tough girl to put up with and he does it so well

He hardly complains and is always there to tell me how much he loves me and needs me

I love knowing that not matter what happens, he will always be there

We have grown a lot over the past 6 months

We have grown more than most couples do in years

We have had our fights and our hard times but we always come out on top

We love each other and that means we will never give up

I love Bret more than I could ever put into words

I am the luckiest girl in the whole world

I will never let him go

Tomorrow we are doing a lot of wedding stuff!

I am so very excited I cant wait

We are getting our pictures done and I hope they turn out great

I am pretty nervous but I know it will be a lot of fun

We are also going to go dress shopping with his mom

and hopefully work on our center pieces

Maybe we will also find sometime to go fishing

Bret loves to fish and I have never caught one before so he is really wanting me to catch one with him

He is a sweetheart

I could go on and on about all the great things that he does but that would take up this whole blog

I am lucky, in love and so very happy

Another one bites the dust

I knew that with Wedding Planning, not everything would go according to plan but I thought that I would be able to at least count on my family to pull through
................MAN WAS I WRONG

There has been stress after stress from family (I still love them though)
First its a problem with colors, then clothes, then who is all coming, then addresses, then attitudes and disappointments, now my pictures.
My uncle is a professional photographer and has been for a very long time
as a special gift he offered to do our engagement and bridal pictures for the wedding.
We scheduled the day, I got the date off of work, we found our clothes for the pictures and it was all ready to go.
Well my uncle had a job come up so we had to move the day, I was ok with it since its on a Sunday and thats the only day Bret and I know we will have off since we both dont work
Then on Tuesday I get a call from my mom saying we need to re-schedule again, after the week I had and the changing of everything so much I was so upset
Now my uncle was wanting us to go down on Fathers day, cancel our plans and take the pictures then.
Bret and I already made plans to have a BBQ with his family since we dont spend that much time with them and it really upset me that they just wanted me to drop everything for his schedule when he didnt really seem to care about our schedule
I know my uncle had good intentions and wanted to do something nice but even though he is family I wanted it to be more professional and taken care of better and not just called off at the last minute.
So i talked to the guy who is doing our wedding pictures, asked if he could take them on such short notice and now it is all ok. We are taking our pictures on Saturday at 6:00 pm and I am so excited. I think he will do a great job and I can not wait. I think this turned out for the best! And just like all the Bridal Magazines say, dont hire family to do work that someone else can do at your wedding it makes it to hurtful and complicated when things dont work out! I am not trying to say that my uncle isnt good at what he does or he isnt a good guy but it is better this way and i know everything will turn out great

Soon to be
Mrs. Maycock
60 days to go :)

I was called Bridzilla and I cried

This Weekend was rough on me


I have been loving wedding planning, I have loved looking at wedding stuff and thinking about how beautiful it will all look when it comes together. I have been stressed but I handled it ok until this weekend.


I have been asking everyone to wear like sunday casual (which i feel is normal and should be expected for a wedding) We are not having a line or anything but I wanted the family (his and mine) to be dressed nice and in our wedding colors (burgundy, ice mint, black) I was wanting the moms to wear nice dresses in either the burgundy or ice mint as well as the sisters and then the dads to wear suits with a vest and tie, then the boys of the family to wear black pants white shirt and the tie I got them. I thought this was pretty simple. I told them I dont want anything to fancy just nice and elegant. Well some people dont seem too happy about the black pants, which I feel they should just do it and not complain I am not asking them to buy new stuff or get a tux, then it seems like I am going to need to print pictures of the dresses I want because I have seen some that question if people understand that this is a classy wedding not a party. I just want everyone to look nice. I just want everything to match and be fun and I felt like I wasnt being too picky but I feel I should have a say. Bret and I decided on these colors together we picked what we wanted things to look like, and we shoud! This is our day and I feel we should be respected for our choices. Others say they are going to look so hot blah blah blah and get all the attention I dont know why but this irritates me and cause me to break down yesterday. I feel that this is my one day to be the pretty girl, this is my day to be the princess and this is Bret's day to look so handsome. I want people to respect that and not make it about them. This is about Bret and I and out love! Thats it and thats final. I love him so very much and he was so great at calming down last night after I cried like a baby. I am so in love, I just need to focus on that, I cant control how some people are. I just wish they would act like people that care and not cave men and women.


With all that negative talk I do want to say that I love his family and I love mine, its hard getting used to new people but I will do anything for him. I love him and I know it will take time to build boundaries and learn people but it will be worth it

Making a List... Checking it twice

I feel as if I am going over everything for the wedding many times a day

I am constantly thinking of what i want it to look like, if everyone will have fun, how will i look etc

I want everything to be perfect.

I want it to be my dream wedding because this is the only wedding I am going to have

I am so ready to marry Bret

I know he is the one I am suppose to be with always and forever

I am stressing a lot

I am loosing the fun and I need to pull it back in and enjoy the ride

I want everyone to feel our day is important and be excited but all that matters is Bret and I! we know what we want, we know that we love each other and we know that no matter what we will always have each other and that is the most important thing.

I just thought more people would want to be a part of the process and really enjoy it

I am loving every minute of it and I guess the less people are bugging me the more i get to do it my way

This post is all over the place but my head is so full of craziness and I dont know how to center it

A lot is being done, the list of to do's is getting shorter

I have my BEAUTIFUL DRESS

I got Bret his ring

We have talked to the lady who is going to make the cake, get the flowers and food

I know how I am going to decorate the back yard

I have enlisted my nana to build the arch Bret and I will get married under

I have found out that I am a simple girl who just likes things to look clean and elegant!

Bret and I have had great fun picking songs and we talk about the wedding all the time

I know he is excited and wants to marry me

I know that I am excited and want to marry him

I know that we will have a great time and I just need to enjoy the journey

Now For things I really need to work on

Setting aside money for our Honeymoon ( we are going to my parents cabin and fishing )

I need to start getting the house organized so it feels more like home

I need to finish the centerpieces

I need to have fun and enjoy it since its only happening once :)

I am the luckiest girl in the world

Things are coming together

Wedding Wednesday was yesterday and we got a lot done but it also stressed me out a lot more!!
WE talked to the lady who is going to be taking care of our decorations, food, cake and flowers! She was a nice lady but some of the stuff she was showing me looked really old school! No I am not one to make fun of anyone else's style or what they chose for their wedding but I like simple, plain elegant stuff not over the top crazy flowers everywhere with a ton of greenery, thats just not me. So in short I may have offended her which was never my intention and I am worried with how much she may try to charge us becuase we are getting alot of stuff with a lot of people. I just hope she gives us a good deal and the wedding turns out beautiful. I know that all the stuff doesnt matter the day is about Bret and I so honestly I dont care what the tables look like or if the colors dont match perfectly because I just want to Marry Bret and be his wife. I am so excited the days are going by fast and I know that time will only move faster but I am very excited and can't wait to be MRS. MAYCOCK :)

I am becoming overwhelmed!!

I feel like I have so much to do and so little time
I want to get everything put together and orgamized but when I get around to it I am just so tired that I say I will do it tomorrow and the horrible cycle of a messy house continues.
Bret and I already live together and I love it but my little home has a hard time holding everything in it.
My house is starting to fill like a balloon that is about to explode.
We live in a small one bedroom condo that i purchased a year ago when I was single and just working and going to school. It worked for me, it worked for the cats but now its just too much. The cats drive me crazy, they mess everything up and our home is showing signs of aging! It needs to be re painted, we need new furniture, we need new flooring, new cabinets, new everything! I want it all now, I want everything organized and in its place but no matter what I do it never gets to that point. I need to buckle down and get it down before I pull my hair out!
I want the house to be put together before the wedding, I want everything to have its own place and I want to feel relaxed when I walk in our front door not scared to go home and see what new mess is waiting for me.
I usually have every Wednesday off so naturally thats the day I would clean etc but my day off has been converted to Wedding Wednesday which I love because I spend the whole day with my mom working on wedding stuff and we get a lot done but I need my house cleaned!!! BLAH

This Wednesday we are doing the Save the Dates, meeting with the lady about my cake, food and decorations and then whatever else falls on our plate. Then in two weeks we are getting our engagement pictures done! I am freaking out a little, it is coming fast things seem a bit weird witha few people in the family and I just want to curl up in a ball and hide for the moment.
Hopefully this feeling will leave soon so I can get back to enjoying it all and soaking it in
