I am loving my new tennies from my parents for my birthday! Which hasn't happened yet (the 9th). I am obsessed with this color! And they are so incredibly light, I can't wait to run with them. I broke them in today walking my pup. Ignore my mismatched socks - Ollie wasn't willing to wait for me to find a matching pair.
I am also obsessed with my new chevron rug. I found it on accident at Hobby Lobby. All I can say is LOVE! I took one look at it and threw it in my cart. Yes, I shop with a cart at Hobby Lobby.
My sister is in full swing of wedding planning mode. She's planning a June wedding like mine was, and already has half her vendors picked out. I am impressed; she tends to procrastinate. I know as the date for the wedding approaches, I am going to get so nervous about giving my maid of honor speech. Excuse me, matron of honor. I think the word matron just aged me ten years. Ew.
Anyways, my sister's speech was amazing. People still tell me what a great job she did. I still watch it and cry! So I am going to be a nervous wreck trying to live up to it. I already have some drafts for ideas - I want plenty of time to prepare! I thought I would give you a look at how great her speech was, we had a friend take video of certain moments of our day and obviously we included the speeches. It's below! Excuse the terrible video quality - this is my first video upload and I may have a setting wrong, who knows.
Any advice out there from previous maids of honor?!
Aww loved that! I still watch our best man and MOH speeches all the time, too! I've never given one so I don't have much advice there. I am loving those tennis shoes? Do you by any chance know which Nikes they are exactly? I've been looking for a pair like that. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteMy friends kid me all the time because they say I relive my wedding every week with the videos, pics, etc. But it was my favorite day ever!!
DeleteThe shoes are Nike Free Run +3 for women. I know when I looked for them I had a really hard time finding them on Nikes site, but I found them on a ton of other sites as well. Not sure which one my parents got them from. I highly recommend them though - I love them!
Love those tennis shoes! I have been needing a new pair and have been hoping that they will somehow motivate me to start working out :) I nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award!

I know, new shoes are always motivating! Thank you for the nomination! I loved your answers - I can't wait to post mine next week!
Deleteoh my gosh that was so sweet! My brother was actually my "maid of honor" and I told him not to worry about a speech because I knew it would stress him out, so literally when it came down to the minute he surprised us and gave a little speech and it meant so much, still a favorite memory!
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes! I think I have the same pair in black?? It's hard to tell haha but I love them and they're so comfortable!
have a good weekend!
Oh that is such a great wedding story! Aren't siblings the best :) I do believe they have these in other colors, but not sure if black. Just google Nike Free Run +3 for women and it should come up!
DeleteSO sweet. I love your new shoes & especially the color :) It's my favorite. I need a new pair

I am obsessed with mint green! I always love your comments! :)
DeleteI'm the MOH in my best friend's wedding next year and have already promised myself I'd start early and make it a realy great speech. No pressure! ha
ReplyDeleteI agree - I think if I start early then it won't matter if I procrastinate a bit or have to start over!
DeleteLOVE those shoes :)

ReplyDeleteI am definitely very excited, but nervous too!

3. I would probably barf before giving a big speech like that, so really, you can't get any worse than me. you got it girl!

I am obsessed with this color! I am hoping it will motivate me to run more :)

DeleteHappy early birthday! Love the colour of the shoes - it's one of my favorite colours!<3

Mine too! Great minds think alike! thanks for the birthday wishes!
DeleteYour sisters speech is so cute! You will find things to talk about before you give your speech. I was so nervous to give one at my sisters wedding last year, but I think it went well! Just talk about how much you love her and are happy for them as a couple. You'll be great! <3

Thanks for the advice - it really helps a lot!
DeleteThe cuter the sneakers... the faster they help you run! That's just what I heard. Love the color :)

I always feel like new shoes make me go faster - I'm still a little kid that way, haha!
DeleteHappy birthday! Your new shoes are so cute! Love the color. And your sister's speech was so touching! I was tearing up the whole time. My sister gave an amazing speech at my wedding too and I'm dreading the day that I have to get up and give my speech at her future wedding (only because I'm terrified of public speaking). I'm sure you will do great :) Oh and where are you from? I enjoyed your sister's accent.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I am in love with the shoes! Her speech was so great! We were born in southern Missouri - we live in Indiana now, I don't know how it's stuck with us!
DeleteLove the new shoes! They are so cute!!

I love the color too! And I do like crazy socks!!
DeleteI love hobby lobby!! Your tennis shoes are adorable!! I'm due for a new pair;)
ReplyDeleteBoy, oh {mamas} boys Blog
It's one of my favorite stores! They have everything there!
DeleteLoving the tennis shoes, I haven't bought trainers since hmmmm 1999 but recently started karate (my 9 year old's idea) so I've been trawling the internet looking for something suitable. These maybe be 'the one' Thanks

I definitely recommend them!!
DeleteOh, why does "Matron of Honor" sound so much worse than Maid of Honor... :P That's what I'll have to be when my sister gets married. I think they need to come up with a new word.
ReplyDeleteI know - maid of honor sounds so much better! Poor us!!
