Wonder Bridesmaid....

Day 4: Birthday time!!!

So today is one of my beautiful bridesmaid's birthdays!!

She has been incredible during this whole journey. Honestly, if I could sit down and tell you how many times I have emailed her freaking out about this, that, and whatever...you would fall asleep. 

I am going to miss her. What am I going to do when I am in Hawaii and she is here? I am trying to convince her to move with me. ;)

When brides pick their bridesmaids for a wedding, there are some who take forever to choose. There are so many things to consider and weigh. It can take time.

Not for me.

I knew before I was even engaged who my bridesmaids were going to be.

And let me tell you, I picked right!!

I picked women who were going to have my back 100%, who were going to support me in everything, who wouldn't talk about me behind my back, who would keep my drama to themselves, who would be there when I needed a midnight phone call, who would make sure that nothing ruined my day for me, who would take care of anything that fell apart on my wedding day without stressing me.

But most importantly I knew I would need women who were willing to help me take care of myself that day.

And I got three of the best.

I have the most humble, selfless, caring, excited bridesmaids in the world. They have been there to calm me down, pick me up, hold me together, and they haven't even had to help me pee with my dress on yet!!

How did I get so blessed??

My other two bridesmaids are wonderful and I will write a post about them on another day but today is my day to write about Faith!

I told her that I was going to need a body guard on my wedding day and she volunteered so quickly! She told me she would try to keep her "Latina" mouth in check but she wasn't making any promises... I told her if someone can't control what they say, you don't have to either, just make sure it doesn't get to me.

You see, we have a lot of people who are unhappy with this marriage. A lot of people who are going to try and say something nasty to us, people who are going to tell me that OUR wedding isn't what THEY want it to be... And I am not in the mood to try and pretend that I care. (Sorry not sorry...) I won't have the energy to be nice, so I know that she is going to have to take care of it before it even gets to me. And she will.

I trust her with my life.

She keeps my excitement up, she helps me see beyond the stress and overwhelming load that is on my plate. She is there to talk me out of being a selfish crazy bridezilla, talk me down from jumping into my red hot anger, and talk my crazy head back into the game.

She will also make me take care of myself, and take care of me for me. She will be my backbone. She will have the tissue to fix my makeup. She will have the spare change for some chocolate.

Bridesmaid? Try Wonder Woman.

I asked for her help getting music together....she shows up with a timeline of our wedding ceremony and a list of songs for each part of our ceremony.

I couldn't ask for better...

And I owe her big time!

There isn't enough money in the world to thank her for everything that she has done and will do for our big day!

Thank you Faith from the bottom of my heart!

Love, Almost A Bride
