Wedding planning can be one of the most stressful times of you life, but if you have great friends and support with you through the ride then it can also be one of the most fun times. I was fortunate to have my best friends with me (some in spirit due to long distances!) every step of the way.
Roman and i changed the date at least 3 or 4 times. The venue was changed twice. We eventually settled on Friday, August 15th, 2008. A sunset wedding, at Brasstown Valley Resort, in a garden. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL, and the reception that followed was everything we hoped for. We were fortunate to not only have the wedding with my family and friends in North Carolina, but to have a separate reception a week later in Chicago for all of Romans relative that were unable to travel. Both parties were stunning nights to remember...
My "Updated" ring. We got a diamond wrap to go around the original solitaire.

The Wedding Invite. Hand made, hand stamped, hand tied. Lots of work!
My Wedding Dress. My Best friend Cheryl was right there beside me while i tried on over 100 dresses over a couple month timespan. We were so happy to find "the one".
