  • Brother & Sister Wedding Dance

    I love my Brother – Picture found on Instagram – edited by: kristin nicole

    So recently I have been thinking that I really want to save a dance for my brother at the wedding. My brother has always been there for me, at some points even though I was so mad at him, he really thought he was my father, so it only feels right to dance with him on my special day. My brother is my best friend and I couldn’t imagine my life without him. So I have two songs that I really like and I wanted to see what you all think. Let’s have a vote on which song you like best.

    The first song is called My Wish by Rascal Flatts

    Lyrics

    I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
    And each road leads you where you want to go
    And if you’re faced with the choice and you have to choose I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
    And if one door opens to another door closed I hope you keep on walkin’ ‘til you find the window If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
    But more than anything, more than anything
    My wish for you Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
    Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
    You never need to carry more than you can hold
    And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
    I hope you know somebody loves you
    And wants the same things too Yeah, this is my wish

    I hope you never look back but you never forget
    All the ones who love you and the place you left
    I hope you always forgive and you never regret
    And you help somebody every chance you get
    Oh, you’d find God’s grace in every mistake
    And always give more than you take
    But more than anything, yeah more than anything
    My wish for you Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
    Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
    You never need to carry more than you can hold
    And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to I hope you know somebody loves you And wants the same things too Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

    My wish for you Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
    Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
    You never need to carry more than you can hold
    And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to I hope you know somebody loves you And wants the same things too Yeah, this is my wish (My wish for you)
    This is my wish (My wish for you)
    I hope you know somebody loves you (My wish for you)
    May all your dreams stay big (My wish for you)

    The second song is called Brothers by Greg Bates

    Lyrics

    They knew all about you from the day that you were born
    Your highchair, weight in ounces, the face that we adored
    But when it came to naming you Mom and Dad weren’t sure
    But that’s what brothers are for

    I can still remember your first day of school
    And I know I didn’t say it then, but I was worried too
    And I know that Momma woulda walked you through that door
    But that’s what brothers are for

    Yeah I know we’ve had our share of fights
    And I’ve come close to killin’ you a few times
    But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar
    Cuz that’s what brothers are for

    I thank God that you could be here today
    Cuz standin’ next to you means so much to me
    As she walks down the aisle, I know I’m not alone
    Cuz right beside me is the best man I’ve ever known
    And I know we’ve had our share of fights
    And I’ve come close to killing you a few times
    But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar
    Yeah, I wanna see you soar
    Cuz that’s what brothers are for

    Tell me what you think…

  • It’s a new year

    Engagement Ring. Lands End. San Francisco, CA – Photo by: kristin nicole

    It’s a new year, and everything is changing. As most of you who know me, you know that I went to San Francisco for my birthday. Well it was one of the best birthdays I have had in a long time. My boyfriend of six years, proposed to me on Lands End. The place is spectacular and I couldn’t have asked for a better proposal from the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Now I’m in wedding mode, so in between work and school I have to make time to plan a wedding. It’s amazing how I knew the theme I wanted and everything else has just come together. I don’t have everything yet, but I have the base of my ideas. I have a friend who gave me a great idea. I am going to put together a vision board, full of the ideas I want for the wedding. This way I can see it put together on a board in front of me. Now of course I am not including my ‘fiancé’ in any of this, the less he knows the better he feels. I have come to realize that men are just completely useless when it comes to weddings. Even though they have asked you to marry them, it doesn’t mean they can handle all the wedding plans and ideas. It seems to overwhelm them. I don’t like to stress anyone out, so I try to keep things has simple has possible. Thankfully I have a lot of friends and family who are very excited about this wedding as I am. Having support and helping to plan a wedding is great … how do I call it… stress relief…. anxiety relief…. Okay… who am I kidding, I’ll probably still get anxiety, because I am a little of a control freak. I can’t help it. One bridesmaid said, she can’t even surprise me because I want to approve the surprises! Sorry, but yes I do… haha

    If you look at my categories, I have now added a Wedding tab. I will be periodically posting ideas and thoughts on the wedding planning. If you are planning your wedding and want to share ideas or grab some from me, go right ahead.

  • Tomorrow’s your Big Day…

    Tomorrow’s your Big Day…

    Tomorrow’s your big day
    The day you tie the knot,
    The day you say I do,
    And forever be his glue.

    I see the way you look at him,
    The smile in your eyes,
    The way he looks at you,
    The love just shines.

    Tomorrow’s your big day
    I’ll stand right by your side
    I know your dad won’t be there
    but he’s watching from above,
    watching every step you take,
    and sending you his love.

    Tomorrow’s your big day,
    The day you tie the knot,
    The day you say I do,
    and forever be true.

    Tomorrow’s your big day,
    A marriage made by two,
    The day you fall in love again
    and say I DO…

    xo,

  • 5 Worst Ways to Propose

    So I was reading this article on Yahoo.com, The 5 Worst Ways to Propose, do you agree?

    The List:

    1. Don’t propose in Public – they say most people tend to say yes because they feel bad with all the people looking, it’s pressure put on the other person and they might just say yes to please the people cheering around them, and later can turn around and say they really don’t want to marry you. (Wow that would be a bummer).

    2. Leave Food out of it – They say people have actually swallowed the ring (when placed in food or drinks) and well it’s not the best place to be on the day you get engaged if it’s the hospital waiting to “release” your ring (If you get my drift).

    3. Do NOT propose via – Internet (email anything that involves a computer) – I have to agree – it’s very impersonal, and when you propose it should be face to face with the person you love.

    4. Do not propose on the day you wed – Okay I only hear of this in Vegas and then it’s annulled the next day – so I have to agree, think about this before you do it, it’s a big commitment.

    5. Beware of Mother Nature – WHAT? That was my first reaction… According to Yahoo they say don’t propose hiking up a mountain or on the beach. Some have gotten lost in snow storms and lost the ring in the snow, others in the beach, and we don’t want to buy an expensive ring only to loose it in a few minutes of proposing. (do we?).

    I say be romantic, do something unique. People in New York although cute, stop proposing by the Christmas Tree it’s been done, oh about 1 million times (at least that’s what I hear from the locals in NY) 🙂 Here in Miami I am sure the Beach has been done and what did Yahoo say about the beach? (Oh yea we don’t want to loose that ring in the sand).

    Some women like the cliches of what is in the movies, if your lady likes it, then go for it, I don’t think there is really any wrong way to propose as long as you really know what your women wants. (Some women like the public scene, some like the ring in the food (although I think I would avoid this one), and some like to be spontaneous (although I highly recommend getting to know your future bride to be).

    Live, Love, Laugh ~ And do what you want when you are ready to propose, if she loves you it doesn’t matter how it’s done, I know some people who get proposed to in a car and have been married for years
    😉
