Glitter & Shine

Where do I begin? Nick and I talked about getting engaged for whole year before it happened. We were engaged on February 15, 2018. I sent him a picture of a sailor moon designed wedding ring from Sapphire Studios in Australia and that sealed the deal. Nick wanted to wait to tell people until it arrived, but I told my best friend any way. I am not very good at keeping secrets.

I decided the theme for our wedding should be Sailor Moon, and Nick being a fellow Nerd loved it. Our flowers and center pieces came together very easily, and each one of my bridesmaid was designated a sailor scout. I completed all the décor myself and I bought most of the things I needed on Aliexpress and Walmart.com. I wore a custom made replica of Queen Serenity’s crown, and it was AWESOME! I wore blinged out sneakers, which were comfortable and stylish. Our wedding invites were moon inspired. Plus we had Chibiusa inspired flower girl dress.

The wedding process was not all sunshine and rainbows. Our bridesmaids dress’s got discontinued so we had to scramble and order them sooner then expected. My dream dress was no longer available in my size, so I ended up ordering a dress that was too normal for my liking. I ended up hating it so much, I went a bought another dress, which I loved. Our preferred suit colour was lost by the factory so we had to come up with another plan. Lastly, I got major anxiety in the last month. Not all brides have the cookie cutter experience, it turns out I was one of them.

However, OUR WEDDING WAS AMAZING!

We had so many compliments on the food, venue, vows, ceremony, and dresses. In the end, with the bad and the good, we came away with our dream wedding at a very affordable cost. It was perfectly us.
