Giveaway fun!

Who doesn't love a good giveaway? I must admit I never did win anything like this (despite entering quite a few while engaged, planning, and obsessive-compulsively reading wedding blogs) .... but wouldn't it be fun if you did win?!

You would think I'd be over this stuff by now, but since my dear, sweet, amazing friend & bridesmaid Katelynn and her long-time boyfriend Russ FINALLY got engaged 3 weeks to do the day after our I-do's, I'm jumping right back on the wedding planning band wagon and am ALL about helping make their day as amazing and special as they helped make ours. Seriously without this girl (and Russ), not only would I not have had nearly as sweet a bachelorette party, but SO MUCH the week of the wedding would not have happened or at least would have caused me to majorly stress way beyond the realm of anything I would possibly have been capable of handling. That was a really long run-on sentence, but the point is: Kate is one of my best friends, and she is amazing. She totally came through for me during my planning process, and went above and beyond the call of duty for a friend or bridesmaid. I am so grateful to her, and absolutely thrilled I get to now be a part of her wedding journey!

All of that is to say, New York happens to be a relatively central location for us... a place we have met up before... such as when she joined me at Kleinfeld to help select my dress. How fun would it be to do this together and get a jump start on looking for hers?! (and an excuse to see her as I had gotten quite used to it every couple months while planning my wedding, whereas before we were usually only able to get together about once a year) Since my dress also happened to be a Lazaro, and I looked at some Alvina Valenta as well, I love these dresses and could definitely see her in some of the styles... Just thinking about it, I am getting so excited to help her start planning & see what she chooses for a dress! Because let's all be honest, it's really all about the dress.

Now go enter this sweet giveaway... or don't, because I really would like to win and take Katelynn!  : )
