Glamours Dos and Don'ts and Speech therapy

As I'm reading my monthly dose of Glamour I came across this:

Glamour's 20 Wedding Dos and don't s. From dresses to hair and brides going beserk. It's tip for tying the knot without coming undone. On June 16 at 8pm. I'm assuming style channel? I don't know if there even is a style channel but that's what it says. So people, prepare to watch and learn!!! Get your notebooks out bc Glamour, here we come!

Glamour offered some speech therapy which got me thinking, so here go Groomsmen and Bridesmaids...

They say, the week before write the speech, start off by introducing yourself and either tell a funny story or touching story about the bride/groom that illustrates the couple's personality and what their bond special. AVOID inside jokes, and keep it clean. All speeches must be appropriate and then close the toast with the couples future.

One day before: REHEARSE the speech and trim it down to one or two minutes.

One hour before: Avoid the booze. You may think a few drinks will keep you mellow, but the best way to stay calm is to know that you are prepared.

One minute before: Have a sip of orange juice or something with sugar because sugar counteracts the jitters.

The second before: Smile, if you are happy people will forgive any mistakes because they will know that all your words are from your heart

Did you know that yearly, American's spend $77.5 BILLION on all things wedding related?....that is $258 per every man woman and child in the US.

Interesting huh? Glamour was full of interesting things this month...well until next time. =)

Another one....

So apparently I have a huge anxiety about being the Maid of Honor. I had a dream last night, and for some reason it was a mix of the engagement party and wedding. I was sent on an errand with "Coco's" (that's for you Groom haha) friend Sarah and somehow we were driving in a place where we had to drive on the wrong side of the road and under a bridge and I can't even explain but then we are talking I tell her how happy I am that my sister is getting married him and how he has become my brother and all of that sappy stuff haha...Then all of a sudden we end up in these white water rapids, or it could have just been of those really long slides you go down in one of those water parks, and then we ended up at the wedding. At this point things have calmed down but I feel the anxiety blowing up(in my dream of course) and it was time for my toast, and once again, the "cheese factor" set in and I actually tapped on a glass to get everyone's attention to begin my speech. Now all I can think about is what to say and how to say it with out saying too much. Maybe it was a sign to GET ON THE BALL!!

CC Updates Begin...

So after 3 emails, no response from CC yet, but maybe I'm very pleased to know that the song has been chosen. This is my goal. Everyday or week to send him an e-mail. I've been slacking, but I am trying. Now it has come time to try even harder!!!
