Have to Pee? the MOH is a tough duty...


For lack of ability to come up with a better term in this AM, I am blogging about having to Pee and how this relates to my duties as a MOH.  Some off you may know that one of my closests friends and BM, I refer to as P.  I can explain that later, but for times sake, just know that it is actually a positive reference not a disrespectful one.  However, surprisingly, this post, though deticated to that, has nothing to do with her, but about my MOH, who is getting married in September where I am her MOH.

As girls, we tend to go to the bathroom a lot, some more than others, especially when we have had some champagne or two.  I typically dont go that often so thats good.  My lovely MOH is no exception like me, but actually above and beyond the rule.  She has had many close calls in the nights that I have known her and if you went to college with us, you are probably shaking your head but smiling right now.  As a psychology major, at one point I even questioned what was happening in her development during the time of her potty training, but it shockingly has never come up in my convos with her mom.  Until now...the MOH's job, or any BM, is to help the bride when she has to go.  This will be a tough duty. Then came along this blog...
 

Some of you who have been reading other blogs maybe have read this original one or this latest one on this new thing called "bridal diapers". Are you tilting your head with confusion? This bride-to-be was.  Apparently there are actually brides out there that will be wearing diapers so that they "don't miss a second of their big day" and can do this like "wear satin lace underware diaper covers" to dress it up.  Listen ladies, I apologize now if this is your game plan, but umm, what? No lace or satin will dress up the fact that you will be sitting in your own urine the entire night.  All I keep thinking it what? Won't it smell and look bulky? Plus, talk about way to start off your wedding night?! I guess there are some brides out there that are that concerned with missing something in the day they have spent a lot of time planning, I get it, makes sense, in some warped way. But listen, hire a good photographer and you'll be ok. 

However, lesson learned, have a game plan with your bride about bathroom strategy prior to the wedding day.  I will make sure to do this in the next month as we will need a game plan with my MOH!



What do you think Diapers or BM help?

one hundred :) (theres an Ap for that)

(personal photo)

Well, everyone, it's officially 100 days until the wedding and yes I'm a terrible bride and the only reason why I know this is because I have an I-Phone and there's an app for that. :)  All it has is the countdown.  Ck noticed that it says "god's knot" at the bottom and I have no clue why, haha.  But a lot has happened in the past 100 days and my little heart is only wondering what is next to come.  For those of you who are just tuning in, let's take a walk down memory lane for this post....
1. At the end of February, Ck broke his arm in 6 places....see post here

2. and we picked a location and a date......see post here

3. In the beginning of March, I asked my girls to be part of my team...see post here
 
4. In the middle of March, I chose big letters for our entrance to our ceremony, our letters are so awesome because its CK and KC, yay!...see post here and I also chose the look for my girls, vintage with chunky necklaces during this post
5. At the end of March, I picked this detail and have everyyyone saving me toilet paper rolls (CK is thrilled to have a house full of toilet paper rolls) see this post here

6. In April, I shared with you my *wedding crush and inspiration...see all the full pics here
7. and I shared our unique way of asking our guests to save the date....see it all pics here

8. In May, I shared my struggle with picking BM dresses and the pick of the fuchsia bridesmaids dresses..in this post

9. and I also shared about going dress shopping with one of my BM, who recently got engaged at this post

10. And then there was June...it was a long month...my car got broken into in the first week in June and all my wedding stuff was stolen...seen here
11. and the jeweler had my ring for not the promised 1 to 2 weeks, but for six and half weeks...see here

12. and my maid of honor switched her title to Matron of honor as she caught onto the wedding fever and decided she is going to get married in 2 1/2 months, labor day weekend in which I am her #1 as well...see it here and here
So whats left for the crazy life of this bride to be??? Well, I have been helping my #1 plan her wedding with her mom a lot these nights so its been tough to do some wedding stuff.  But posts to come should include, the official decision on the boys attire, the invitations,escort card ideas, the programs, the shower and the bach. parties for both me and my number 1 since I'm planning those for her, and I'm sure other fun details that pop up in my life along the way.  Stay tuned, I'm sure the best is yet to come :)


Did you feel ready on the 100 day mark?
