Wedding Prep : 1 Month Away from the Wedding and How to Make A Cheap Bouquet



Velrick & Wadeno

My wonderful boyfriend was asked to be a BEST MAN in a Haitian Wedding!

I was so excited and ready to do everything to help!

(Even took a little time to fantasize about my own wedding)

In Haitian Culture

The BEST MAN has a lot of responsibility!

For this wedding responsibilities included:

Responsibility Number 1

Pick a Wedding Date

4/21/16

Responsibility Number 2

Pick Wedding Colors
Pink Turquoise

I had the color scheme , the suits, the flowers all picked out. My Pinterest Pin Board looked like:

 

Frankly,
Nothing went as planned and that is okay.

The wedding is in one month and well...


       

We have 2 suits and a bouquet.

At least I gained a valuable bouquet making skill...



Everything will workout.

1 Month Away.

S L O W D O W N D!




 Hello! My Name is DeLisa and I need to learn how to slow down. 

I live off of lists and getting things done as efficiently as possible. This mentality can ruin making memories at a theme park. You don't get to explore if you are always rushing from attraction to attraction. Thankfully, I had this gem to teach me how to

 S L O W  D O W N D! 


When I go to theme parks, its like a race. You've got to rush to do things. You've got to get on the next ride as quickly as possible. I don't walk, I SPEED WALK! However, my precious beau is not from this country and doesn't understand the hype. He takes his time admiring EVERYTHING!!! 

This last trip to Universal Studios 
I learned to STOP and Taste the Butterbeer 

Stop and Taste the Butterbeer



Interplanetary Passports



We never waited in line and we did everything we wanted to do! We laughed and screamed like two children.  Our first ride was  the E.T. Adventure. I shared with him how this ride is important to me because this ride reminds me of my mother. My mother is not a fan of rides but let's just say the last time she rode it, a couple children added new words to their vocabulary.


I kicked his butt in the Men in Black Alien Attack. You see he was looking where he was shooting and I was just trigger happy.




We almost didn't make it out of Gringotts 
We successfully got our tickets for the  Hogwarts Express
My eyes were closed the entire time we were at Hogwarts for the Quidditch Match
We were the best Freedom Riders 
It was our pleasure to go on an Amazing Adventure with Spiderman

With all the fun we had, I simply ASK myself  WHY?

Why was I ever rushing?

What's the RUSH?

Slow down and take it easy. Simply enjoy the time you have together. Stop being so determined to check things off of your list. This isn't about a check list, it is about quality time! Being so goal oriented can take away from the fun!
