UPDATES

Things are slowing down and speeding up all at the same time, but I wanted to take a moment and process all the exciting adventures that are occurring...

First of all... We are super excited about the two weddings we have coming up! Kim, my sorority sister will be marrying her prince charming this weekend, and STEWEY will be marrying hers next weekend in Houston, TEXAS! What a blessing it is to have other people sharing in this awesome season in life!

Honeymoon Booked! Marcus booked our honeymoon! And we are both super excited... although its booked, we are pretty silent about its location so it can be the one secret during this whole wedding weekend that only he and I know! We cannot even wait.

The Awesome Bridesmaids Dresses have been selected too and everyone is going to look beautiful. Adi requested that she be supplied with a fanny pack since the dress doesn’t have pockets, so I went to Sam Moon and got her one to match the wedding theme! The dresses will be so pretty... The lady at Mockingbird Bridal said I had the prettiest bridal party she had ever seen, I AGREED! :)

Joe T. Garcias: So Marcus' awesome parents booked us an awesome venue for the rehearsal dinner.... MY ULTIMATE FAVE... JOE T'S!!! We will be in the church/building right next door to the main restaurant and it will be private and wonderful and I already know that I am going to be overly emotional that day... If you are coming in to town the Friday before the wedding, plan on coming to the pre-bash!

Reception Updates! We met with Hope at the Fort Worth Club and she has helped us put together the most amazing party ever... So many fun things will occur that I don’t want to share until you guys get there... But all I can say is eeeeekkk!

My Purple Shoes: So, I found the best shoes ever at Zappos.com to walk/run down the aisle in on our wedding day... They are purple jeweled peep toes that resemble the Manolo's that Carrie Bradshaw had for her wedding in Sex in the City, but they are purple and A TON Cheaper... They fit perfectly and look amazing... I can’t wait to take my bridals in them! Marcus' dad, who is so sweetly walking me down the aisle, has asked if he could have some matching Purple shoes as well, so we are in search of some purple man boots for Mr. Brock... we'll see if that happens! :)

After much debate, we decided to book a videographer because Lite Dallas was so unbelievably impressive and we got a huge discount from the Dallas Bridal Show! What a blessing it is to be in the right place at the right time...

We are so unbelievably blessed and excited for all of the wonderful people we have in our lives... I cannot wait for us to have The Brock House filled with laughter, lots of cooking, pool parties, and fellowship with all of our friends and family. Until then, we are patiently waiting for our day to walk down the aisle and are enjoying every moment, soaking in our friend’s happiness and basking in the glory of God's favor! :)
