This will be an ongoing story, designed to share all of the highs and lows leading to the wedding day of Jason Mevius and Jessica Wilson.
Wedding things are on hold for the next couple of weeks. My Lease is up on my car the beginning of June and we are now car shopping for our next car. I really wish this was happening at a different time but we are pretty good at switching gears when we have to and focusing at the task in front of us. Wish us luck and I’ll let you know what I can be spotted in soon.
Jessica is sneaky. I’ve known that for some time, no surprises there. But, this time she snuck up on me. Today is her birthday, and in six months from yesterday, we’ll be married.
She managed to bookend our anniversary and her birthday exactly six months apart. Very sneaky. Previously, I’d joked that we scheduled our wedding in November because there aren’t any holidays in November when Jessica would receive a gift. Now I know the real reason.
In all seriousness, Happy Birthday, Darling.
This past Saturday I went to a Spring 2004 Watters and Watters Trunk Show. I’ve had my eye on a few of these gowns for some time now. They are all very elegant and classic looking. Watters and Watters is not the place to look if you are looking for something gaudy or over embellished.
I tried a few on and before I knew it I was walking out the door with wedding dress in hand plus an amazing tiara (better then the original I wanted) and a veil that mirrors my dress perfectly. Can you believe it! It was that simple. And oh yeah to top it all off I got a great deal.
I think this is the one thing Jason thought we would come incredibly over budget on but we actually came incredibly under budget on. I’m incredibly pleased with myself and now look forward to splurging on a rehearsal dinner dress.
I’ll save you the obvious joke about the results being negative.
Jessica and I are taking some premarital counseling at our church. So far, we’ve enjoyed it. It seems to be practical, without being heavy-handed or judging. I won’t get into the things we talk about, but one thing that was interesting was that we were given a personality test to determine how we should best interact with each other.
You know you’re curious..

I don’t have my dress yet! Yes I know, everyone says you have plenty of time with a little over 6 month to go but really if you’re familiar with the whole process it’s more like. “YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR DRESS YET?!” Let me explain.
I need to spend the time to search the world over for the perfect wedding dress. I know its only one day but it’s also only one day in my life that will be my wedding day so of course it has to be perfect. This means taking the Moms with me to try on dresses at probably every boutique in Dallas and beyond.
