Call it a wrap
Well for me Iron brides has come to a conclusion and I am thanking GOD. Unfortunately for me Iron brides lost it’s appeal when Julia and myself were left on top of the mountain alone and the only other woman willing to step out side of themselves and think about how we were feeling was Eileen. Having my feelings and response to that situation judged by these strangers angered me. What followed was nothing but excuses and unnecessary information from George. From that point for me staying on the show was more about not quitting because I don’t quit.
There have been several incidents that have taken place that as Chrissy has says, “go against my true values” and I stuck in there, when I should have recognized this and moved on. I guess this has shown me an area of weakness inside of me, I am not a quitter to a fault. This is something I will be sure to work on.
I have never in my life been around so many women who are victims, on a constant basis wow is me, my life is harder than yours, let me let you know why everything is of course harder for me. This was just an overwhelming experience for me. I am used to people who overcome and boast on triumph and not trials.
I have been in really creepy situations. I would have never thought that at 27 years of age being a bride to be I would be sitting in a room listening to tipsy brides to be talk about their past sexual experiences in the presence of a 50-year-old man. Not only a 50 year old man but a former pastor… Come on, as an awesome man said, “Is there nothing sacred?”
My true hope is that Eileen wins as she has not missed, or been late to any shootings, and she has followed that contract to a T. Even though some rules have been changed to appease George’s fan club I am still rooting for you Eileen. If George does not find any sense of professional responsibility between tonight and sunday it would be okay with me if Rebecca won as well. As she much like Eileen has followed the contract whole heartedly, and did not participate in that creepy conversation.
To the rest of the Iron brides I say farewell, and I hope that life brings you so many triumphs that you forget about the trials.

My Future
It has been clear to me since I could remember that I am destined to do great things as long as I keep my ears tuned to God’s station. Life has been full of trials, tribulations, joy, and blessings. I am thankful for the potential placed inside me and look forward to seeing things unfold. Watch out world… Ironbrides is lol, only the beginning!!!!

My Wedding Cake
So as you all may have figured out by now I am really slacking on wedding planning and finding delegating tasks as a good idea. I have not done any cake tastings as I am using my usual baker sweet tooth. When I went to Sweet Tooth to pick up my cakes for my bridal party I told Glen to have fun and make me a fabulous wedding cake. He laughed at me as he knows I am dead serious. He has demanded that Dwayne and I come in to do cake tasting to try some different flavors. I am not interested in different flavors but I figure if I don’t go Glen might stress me out about it. I trust the baker to make me a beautiful cake… I am sure holly my wedding planner will be checking in with him. But I have some pictures of some of my previous cakes from sweet tooth if you would like to see.

Why is this so hard
Alright people, this week we have 4 questions to choose from and I have no feeling towards any of them. So I figured instead of pretending to be so in to something I will just express how I am felling about the question… Maybe it will answer the question and maybe it won’t, let’s see!
So we have a tuxedo questions, in which we need to basically talk about the whole picking a tux and what I envision Dwayne in on our wedding day.
I envision Dwayne in whatever it is he decides to wear. He knows I am wearing a white dress and he knows what color dresses the girls are wearing. I have faith that he is capable of choosing his and his groomsmen attire for our wedding day. I have absolutely no intention on going to a tuxedo shop or for that matter ever looking at tuxedos before my wedding day…..
The second question is about planning a Honeymoon. Fortunatley for me but unfortunately for this blog I am not planning my honeymoon. That would be another item in Dwayne’s to do list and another thing off of my list. So Dwayne has two instructions from me concerning our honeymoon….MAKE IT AWESOME, and MAKE SURE WE ARE STAYING IN THE LUXURY WE ALWAYS STAY IN.
The third question was in reference to the trend in wedding cakes and cupcakes… I can tell you off the bat I am not a girl who cares about trends, I don’t even waste time reading about trends because they have no bearing on what I like or dislike. As far as my wedding cake is concerned I am leaving that to my bakery. I have used Sweet Tooth bakery for every cake I have had made for the past 2 years. Glenn knows me well and has always made me awesome cakes for every party. So he will be at liberty to make whatever he thinks fits and I will see it on my wedding day!!! 
The fourth question is about wedding planning software. Well world I have to say two years ago I did go on a search for wedding planning software and found one program which was primitive. The brides.com, theknot.com online tools are much more advanced than that software. So world if you need a planning resource I say call HOLLY!!!! I love her, she is awesome. Her website is inthepinkink.com, and her phone number is 6175497702 and I promise you she will be more helpful than any website or software and she ROCKS!!!!

“Our” Wedding
An interesting question was posed, how much liberty should he feel to influence wedding decisions? I found this to be strange question at first but then I remembered not everyone looks at their wedding the same way I do. Dwayne and I both are marrying each other. It is not my wedding alone. Every aspect of our wedding is run by Dwayne and he either approves or he doesn’t. The things that he cares less about get a faster stamp of approval where as the things he does care about get a hard look. If Dwayne doesn’t like it, it changes!!! If the item in question is something that I really want he is willing to compromise but the situation has yet to happen.

Two Different Families Becoming One
Let me set the scene… I am wealthy, not rich because as you may or may not know being rich is temporary! So I have money and residual income to last me 9 generations.
To introduce our families for the first time ever, I would fly everyone to Turks and Caicos for a one week vacation. When I say everyone I mean everyone in my family whose phone number I have, including play cousins.
While in Turks in Caicos we will be doing some major partying, and bonding for the first two days. There will be a theme for the remaining 5 days.
Day 1 Wet & Silly
The entire day will be focused around water activities and later in the day alcohol.
Day 2 Nature is my friend
All day we will visit and learn about the environment and animals of Turks and Caicos.
Day 3 Face your Fears
Today we will experience those things which are apart of the most popular fears such as; heights, falling, flying.
Day 4 Bum Day
Relax, eat, be fat and happy
Day 5 Green’s V.S. White’s
Today will be all about competition. The two families will be put against each other in every possible competitive arena.

My 2009 Engagement
I spent most of today at the Natick Collection with Levar and Tola. When I got home, the elevator opened and there were rose petals going from the elevator to my neighbor across the halls door. As I walked down the hall I proclaimed to Tola and Levar that there isn’t even a women over there and that D needed to see this. I approached my door and as I put the key in the door I saw a single red rose petal lodged in the door as if it had drifted beyond it’s designated area. I opened the door to find a path of roses leading towards a heart in my living room. Dwayne came and walked towards the center of that heart and took my hand. What he said I really have no clue but I do know the tears flowed down my face and all I could think is about how lucky I am to have him.

Iron Brides, 8 Girls, 8 Days
I had a wake up call on that 8 day journey. I believe that my expectations of the situation where completely I mean completely off base. I thought I was going in to a situation much like a game show. OMG boy was I wrong. It was more like 8 days of 24 hour counseling, mentally and emotionally draining, cannot even come close to that experience.

Days to go= 352
This is so right!
Today I sat on the edge of a pool watching Dwayne and Kristoffer take their first swimming lesson. It was so awesome to see how quickly they went from flopping in the water to having a swimmers form. At times it was simply hilarious to watch two brothers who are both big tall grown men try to learn to swim and other times it was terrifying watching them go to close to that 10 feet line. It was simply an amazing thing, but there is something way more amazing. There they were two men both in some portion of their twenties, one recently married and another on his way to being married facing something they have feared all of their lives in an effort to please in some form or fashion the women in their lives. Isn’t that what marriage is all about. Pushing bounds, and breaking those glass ceilings in an effort to make you more appealing to the person whom you love and have made a life long commitment. To me the sight was simply amazing.
This is so right!
