2. But I still want to "go for" some splurge earrings...
These are my favorite, but not cheap at $250.
These are more affordable and also cute, but I'm not sure that I could pull them off.
Only for a wedding would I say, "these simple studs are just $48."
3. At least my wedding shoes are free... I'm wearing a pair of wedges that I've had for 3+ years. I try not to tell too many people because they just try to guilt me into buying another pair.
4. I got a bit lazy/ cheap when the time came to add a bow to the back of my wedding dress. The alterations were already costing $200 for the things I needed so I just skipped it. Hopefully, I'll find another embellishment that I can add to up the girly factor.
5. Speaking of dresses, my absolute favorite wedding dress ever was this all cotton number done by Project Runway winner, Jay. I remember thinking, "that's exactly the look I want!" when I first saw the episode.
6. I'm way-way-way more excited about eventually buying our "forever" home than I am about the wedding. Sometimes I resent the wedding expenses because I know that they're getting in the way of my down payment plan.
Have any wedding confessions that you'd like to make?

when i picked up my marriage license.. i saw some couples are just getting married in the court house.. seems so simple..
Anytime we want to do a new/big project around the house we just think...if only it weren't for that wedding. Looking back, I may have done things differently. Less people. Destination. I don't know. I miss my money! ;)
Don't let people guilt you into stuff! You go girl, wearing 3 year old shoes! I just did our budget breakdown post today, and some of our categories are laughably small ($30 for 70 favors) and others take a huge chunk of the budget. We are only allowed so many true priorities. If everything is a "priority" then nothing is! Rant over. Your wedding will be gorgeous.

I love your wedding band! I think something you will where forever is worth the splurge.
And those Kendra Scott earrings are just lovely. I say go for it!
Do I have any wedding confessions? Oh man! Do I ever? I was so inspired by this post that instead of cluttering up your comments with a rant I will devote an entire post to it on our blog. How about that? Ha! And I will reference this post, mmmkay? My first confession: My diamond is fake! Shhhh! Don't tell. Ok. You can if you want. I chose a moissanite diamond over a real one, because I just think diamonds are ridiculously overpriced, and I wanted no part in that.
Wow, that wedding band is gorgeous. I completely adore it. And the earrings are just lovely.
I am so excited to see more photos! Post soon, please!
