My Best Friend's Wedding

My best friend got married to her Navy man a few months back! I've been holding off on the post, because I wanted to share some of their gorgeous wedding pictures too! Thanks for letting Danny and me be a part of your special day! We love you both so much and wish you all the happiness in the world.

A little MOH love to her best friend and groom.
A small slice of my cheesy speech...

"It is impossible to not see the love, respect and friendship between you. It is the kind of relationship we should all aspire too…one that pushes you to be your best, to trust in your partner and to live by the motto -- home is where your heart is / or home is wherever I'm with you.

Love is powerful – it’s the virtue that holds all others together. Whatever plan God may have for your future, you will know with certainty that he gave you each other to get there as a couple

to love each other

to support each other

and to make each other stronger

Cheers to Justin and Shannon and their greatest adventure yet. May you both grow more in love each day and be surrounded by the support of family, friends and God’s immeasurable love. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness."

Deals! Sheinside vs. Free People & Anthropologie

Ok, these dresses look the same to me...am I right? I've been looking at some summer dresses on the Free People site lately and found this Embroidered Fable Dress that is absolutely gorgeous -- but for a $168??? No thanks. I'll get the one that looks exactly like it at Sheinside for $32.67! Sure, I bet it's not made as well and the material might be different, but really...they look pretty darn similar! Score! If you look at Sheinside's website you'll find many dresses that are strikingly similar to Free People and Anthroplogie...I mean almost identical. Cool huh? I see what you're doing Sheinside and I dig it!

Oh and I also got this cute little jacket...I couldn't resist!

If you are into finding fun deals, I did a post on Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats eons ago that cost $754...mine cost $19.37! I found some look-alikes on Sammy Dress. Go check out these sites! They are perfect for switching up your wardrobe without spending a fortune.

A week or two later...it came! A+++. Here is what the dress looks like! ^^^

Wedding Dresses

My best friend Shan is getting married to her dreamy Naval Pilot Justin and she asked me to be her matron of honor! Double stoked! And it gets even better...Dan is going to be one of Justin's groomsmen! It'll be fun to walk down the aisle again with my hub ;) We are so excited to help with the planning and join in the celebration of their big day. They have already picked their dream venue at Twin Oaks. Swoooooon! And we've started the hunt for the perfect wedding dress. I've been reminiscing about my own hunt for the dress and have been pinning some beautiful new styles. Here are a few of my current favorites -- similar to dresses we've been looking for Shanny. Cheers to the wedding season, happy friends and all the fun to come!
