Thankfully the bridesmaids dresses have been taken care of. Thank you Jenny (my sissy) for coordinating that. I love them! My other sister Angie came with me to the Ann Taylor on Madison Avenue to try it on. She's the pickiest of the bunch because she swears nothing looks perfect on her. Guess what? She approved! She loves it! Its a very elegant and flattering dress. I'm very happy and excited with my choice. To make it even better, they were 80% off! So my bridesmaids got a great deal. Probably the most affordable designer bridesmaid dress I have ever seen!





The next little battle I have is chosing the shoes. As part of my gift to the Bridesmaids, I'm gooing to get them one of these shoes from Charles David. He's one of my favorite shoe designers! Which do you think will go better? Grey or Cream? Hard to chose! They're both match beautifully in their own way!

So this topic is a really touchy subject only because I really love my last name and am proud of it. My dad has us three girls and by me changing it, it would mean that the last name stops there. Know what I mean? We don't have a boy in the family to pass it down (except for cousins). Not only that, but Rodriguez is a part of me! I love it! I love its history within my family. I could go on and on. So for the time being, I have decided on these three options:

A) Marylynn Middle Oldlastname de Newlastname
B) Marylynn Middle Oldlastname-Newlastname
C) Marylynn Middle Oldlastname Newlastname (my old last name would be converted to my second middle name)

However, at work I will go by Mrs. Newlastname. But on my drivers liscence I will have one of the above three options.

I am very much looking forward to being the new Mrs. Newlastname and taking Will's name. In fact I will be honored. He's a great man and I am lucky to be his wife. He is very traditional and would like for me to be Mrs. Maldonado so i think the above three options are a good compromise. What do you think?

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my very first bloggie installation. I've recently entered the wedding planning world since my engagement on 02/01/08. Ok, ok, so that was really a long time ago but I just recently decided to organize myself and memoralize my ideas and a blog is the perfect way to do that! I will try to catch you all up to speed on my accomplishments and ideas that are wedding related! And probably a few that are non-wedding related because I like to gush about other things as well! Anyhow, thanks for peeping out my bloggie! Don't be a stranger now!
