In exactly one week today we will be leaving for (well actually by now in) JAMAICA!! I can NOT wait!! Then the real wedding planning can start! :):)
I posted it as my Facebook status that I was starting to pack and one of my bridesmaids said that she was jealous and I told her in one year she will be going with me! She was really excited too and was talking about how she needed to get her passport and such. That made me really excited because I was afraid she wouldn't be able to make it. She is a single mom with a 1 year old little boy. She has talked to me before about having money problems and such, but I'm really really excited that she is planning on going!! :)
What frustrates me is my MOH said that she was jealous too, but since she already told me 6 months ago that she wouldn't be able to make it, I wasn't really sure how to respond to that. After all my friend that is a single mom is making ends meet to go, but she can't afford it. That leads me to believe again that it is because of her boyfriend.
I thought of doing something really like for the girls that are going because it means so much to me that they are spending the money to go with me. Then I thought that wasn't fair because my MOH is planning my bridal shower and bachlorette party. I even thought of paying for their dresses if they are going, but I don't think I really can afford that. Maybe I can pay for their hair and make up when we get there. I am putting together a gift bag for all of them that will have their jewelery, shoes, and name hangers. I am also trying to put together a cute bridesmaid survivor kit for them (I've found some really cute poems online). But I still feel like I want to do something that will know how much I really appreciate that they came all this way for me. Hopefully I'll come up with something. For my MOH though, I thought of going to the Coach Outlet and buying her a Coach purse or a gift card to say thank you for being my MOH. I guess we'll see how everything pans out.
