And the winner is...

I'm calling it now...J.P. wins this season. Ali, the last Bachelorette, feels the same way and no I am not copying her. I looked at a spoiler website last week and saw who the final four were and made my guess. I liked him from the first episode (last week) and he was so cute last night. I think they would be a great couple.

I know I said I liked Will, but I changed my mind. Their date was cute, but I don't see it working out. Actually, I know it won't. Also, the preview for next week shows him acting like a jerk. The guys do a comedy roast about each other (and Ashley) and Will takes it too far.

Jeff. He needs to go home. I initially liked what he was trying to do too, but come on Ashley! Sending home some great guys like Matt (she even talked to his mom on the phone) instead of him was pretty stupid. I like Ashley and all, but she is not making the best decisions right now and it's only the beginning. I was not a fan of doing a a coin toss to determine whether Mickey got a rose or not. That was just rude.

Bentley. I want him to be gone. I know he will be eventually, but I want that time to be now. I don't care if he's only on the show for dramatic purposes or if he really does care about her and is only doing what the producers tell him to. It's not fair to Ashley. Messing with a girl's heart just to boost ratings is not cool in my book. I'm sure lots of people would still watch the show even if there wasn't a guy/girl playing that role each season. I mean, yeah drama is fun to watch and makes the show interesting, but people watch to see two people fall in love.

Speaking of love...
You can get some great advice from people on YouTube. There was one video (I'm not going to mention which one or share the link because the whole thing wasn't the best or have the cleanest language) that was talking about boyfriends and love. I really liked one part. He said, "[Love] is like getting your period. It happens at different times for different people." True words.

Love and Marriage

This came to mind. Anyone else grow up watching the Bundy's? 

I was young so don't judge.

I feel like everyone around me is getting married. While I have no plans to follow the current trend anytime soon, I decided to at least start thinking about what I want when that time comes. Some girls have had their dream wedding planned out since they were wee ones. That was never me. Although, once I did plan out how my house would look, but being around ten I had very little knowledge about interior design. I can't remember what colors I chose or how I wanted my house to look, but I'm pretty sure my taste has changed since then...for the better.

Can I just say that looking at wedding blogs and websites is TONS of fun? Seriously, I could spend all day looking at all the good, bad, and ugly (personal opinion) wedding themes and color palettes out there. As much as I love doing it now just for fun, I can't wait until I'm doing it with some purpose.

Choosing a color palette is hard. There are so many options and you have to coordinate your colors with the season. I've already decided I want a summer wedding or early fall (August). This is because I think it would be nice to fulfill my grandmother's dream of having a grandchild married on what our family appropriately calls "The Funny Farm". It's nice property. Obviously we would just have the reception there since the actual ceremony would take place in the temple, but I plan on having a ring ceremony so people that can't be a part of the sealing can still feel included.

Anyway, since my favorite color is green, I'm almost positive it will be one of my colors. At least it is for now, but I know some people change their colors multiple times. Hopefully I'm not like that, even though I am pretty indecisive. Also, I'm not very girly. No pink or purple will be seen at my wedding. I will not change my mind on this. I want to be nice to my husband and have colors he can live with too.

One palette I love right now, that could very well end up being mine in the future, is green and navy. I get my green (not lime, but it's ok) and these colors look good on guys and gals.

Not the best inspiration board, but I love the tie.

Another palette I love is Yellow and gray. Can't you tell by my blog?

After seeing Tangled, I thought it would be nice to have those floating lanterns released at night instead of the typical sparkler send off. Also, living where I do and where the reception would be, how awesome would that look? It's basically out in the country so they would definitely look amazing in the sky. I'm pretty sure this idea has become really popular since the movie came out.

The cake. I don't have a clue as to what the outside will will look like, but the inside will most definitely be red velvet. My husband has no say. This was the one wedding related thing that I did decide on long ago.

I know there are so many other things to think about, but I think I've got a pretty good start. Now all I need is a man to help me make it all happen. Speaking of men, I think I'm cursed when it comes to guys and my FHE family. If I think a guy is cute and he is in my family, it will not work. This time, it turns out he is a preemie (hasn't gone on his mission yet) and he has a girlfriend. Oh the things you learn from Facebook, making stalking easier since 2004. Haha. This news is a few weeks old, but I forgot to write about it.

Dear Man of My Dreams, Love of My Life, Soul Mate, Mr. Right, whatever you wished to be called,

Please come into my life soon (but not too soon). I'll be waiting. 

Love,
