My sister's wedding is in exactly 3 weeks. It feels like yesterday she got engaged, yet all the mile markers have passed, and we are left with the gigantic to-do list of the last "3 Weeks" before the wedding. I've been lucky to have run across some amazing money saving deals online for the decor, as well as this hole in the wall flower shop just 5 mins away that sells fresh flowers in bulk at wholesale prices. I've been experimenting with the flowers, and luckily, flowers are beautiful no matter what I do to them. Here's a picture of the second bouquet I made over the past weekend. Few days later, the roses bloomed so full, they looked like peonies. At the end, we decided to scrap the baby's breath and stick with just roses and greenery.
As I'm wrapping up the final projects for the wedding, I'm reminded of how fast this past year went by. I remember reminiscing about the wedding, and dreaming with my friends about how we were going to lose weight and look fabulous in our first official wedding amongst our group. Somehow, knowing that there is a D-Day, the dream became reality. I actually took action in ways I've never succeeded before. And as I welcome these last few weeks of chaos before the final day, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have changed for the better, and I am less and less a victim to life's misfortunes and more and more a pioneer of my own life.
