Six Months: It's Not Goodbye, It's See You Later

I can hardly believe that I'm writing this, but the time has come, Hive. 

I know that I alluded to posts including in-depth vendor reviews and a list of music for our wedding, but having recapped our day from beginning to end, I feel as though it is the right time. In addition, today is our six month anniversary - I can't ignore the nice-and-neat feel of that. ;)

Our wedding day was, without a doubt, my favorite day of my life. It was everything that I dreamed of, hoped and planned for over the course of seventeen months. It was full of love and laughter, friendship, dancing, drinking, music, memories. . . I sincerely don't know that I could ask for anything else.

I stumbled across Weddingbee prior to even being engaged, in about November of 2011. I became obsessed shortly after and dragged BM Y into my obsession as well. Mr. Palm Tree asked me to marry him on December 22nd, 2011 and as we shared the news over Christmas Break, one of my relatives asked if I was still writing and encouraged me to write about the experience. From that point on, I knew that I wanted to be a Weddingbee blogger.

Treely, Madly, Deeply: My Somethings - including my bees and some familiar jewelry!

We all know the saying: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue. There's the line about the sixpence in a shoe but to be honest, I didn't know that existed until Weddingbee so it was not even remotely on my radar. I loved all of my somethings and am happy to be able to write about them.

My Somethings: 

Don't hate on my hanger, guys. ;)

My beautiful dream dress was considered as my Something New. Is this considered cheating? I loved this dress and am truly sad that I will never wear it again because I felt like such a beautiful Bride in it. This comes from a place of complete honesty that is devoid of any sense of arrogance, I promise, but I felt like it was my wedding day and that I was stunning. I hope that every Bride feels this way on her wedding day. 

Once I get my dress cleaned and snip a piece of it from underneath for some future daughter/niece/cousin/someone of a future generation, I plan to donate it. I haven't decided where. . .maybe Goodwill, maybe Brides Against Breast Cancer. Regardless, it won't sit in my closet for the rest of my life, because it is truly too special to me to have that fate.
