The other day Joe and I were wondering how long the average engagement is...since it seems like everyone considers ours to be long. Granted, we will be engaged for about 19 months by the time we get married, but I don't really think that's all that long. So, I decided to do some research. Find some really interested wedding statistics on this website.
Turns out the average engagement is 14 months! So we are a little long in comparison, but it makes sense for us. I mean, what's the rush?!?!
They talk about the average cost of wedding, honeymoon, engagement, average costs, dress costs, etc... Very interesting stuff...check out.

Updated Jewelry!
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was having all of my jewelry made by an Etsy crafter name LuluSplendor. I've just been sending her pics and she comes up with amazing stuff.
First up was the hair comb that I plan to wear in lieu of a veil.
Up next is the matching vintage cuff bracelet, which I am so excited about! She said she needs to wait for a new metal order, so it should take about 6 weeks to get the supplies. But I have plenty of time...and I'm stoked! It's all going to be so perfect!

Regret
So, it's been awhile since I last posted. We're kind of in a lull in the wedding planning. We've organized just about everything we can right now...just waiting to get closer to finish everything out. I've even stopped looking at wedding blogs and magazines so as to not get any more "new and amazing" ideas. It is what it is right now.
But.
Tonight I came home from work and started watching a TLC show called Say Yes to the Dress. I just thought it would be fun, but almost 7 hours later, I'm feeling a bit down. It reminds me of how I went dress shopping alone. I wish I could have had people with me, you know? Just to feel like someone else was involved and into it and wishing the best for me. But I just went alone.
I guess I can't totally say that since Joe went with me to two different places. He really was a trooper and it meant a lot to have him there. He was there when I picked "the dress" and even though he was hesitant for me to commit to such a price tag, he fully supported me when I said I couldn't live without it. This is why I am marrying him...he's there for me when no one else is. And that's what marriage is about...
So maybe a better title for this post would have been Out of Sadness Comes Happiness.
