03.20.25 - One step closer to marriage!

#diaryentry Yesterday my FH Jordan and I went to the courthouse to apply for our marriage license! The closest one was 1.5 hours away, but we brought a church friend and had a great time. I got to wear my fancy qipao/cheongsam from my sister, so even though we didn't get married at the courthouse, it felt very special ☺️🤍

Afterward, we went shoe shopping for Jordan at Ross 😆😅 and then lunch at a vegan spot our friend recommended. The rest of the day was full of wedding/car errands. Our wedding is now only THREE DAYS AWAY and the hype is real!! 🤩

See y'all in my next entry! 👋🤍

As we approach the wedding day, the excitement grows! Planning a wedding requires careful preparation, from finding the perfect venue to picking the right attire. Choosing a marriage license is just one of those essential steps, which ensures that the day can proceed smoothly. Being a bride-to-be means considering every detail, from traditional elements like attire to modern choices such as vegan catering. Remember, the wedding is a reflection of your unique love story; celebrate it with the things that matter most to you! Additionally, shopping for wedding shoes can be both fun and symbolic. It often represents stepping into a new phase of life together. Whether you prefer a minimalistic look or something more ornate, ensure your choice reflects your style. In the days leading up to your wedding, don't forget to enjoy the moments spent with friends and family, like having lunch together after errands, as these moments become cherished memories in your journey as a couple.
