The Summer went by so quickly. From the time we all met @ our 2nd 
interview, until now it’s just gone by so fast. It’s sad because I will miss people…But it’s also happy because now I can continue with the very special & meaningful friendships I have made. I love you girls!
Being a contestant on Iron Brides has changed my life. Certain experiences have pushed me past my comfort zones, opening up about topics that are difficult to discuss, pushing past my fears (of heights especially) and getting into that plane…all the way to getting in a bathing suit in front of 7 other brides to be (who are much thinner). Some days have been tougher then others, but I am so lucky to have met some amazing girls that made bad days better and good days better too!
Certain girls have connected and certain girls have not…but I guess life would be boring if everyone got along! If I could tell you one thing, I would just say stop worrying about what other people think and just be yourself. If someone doesn’t like you…oh well! You cannot force friendships. Sometimes you need to do things you don’t want to do. And instead of complaining, it’s easier to just do it. But be strong & stand up for yourself!
From one bride to be to another…be open minded. I know you may have this perfect wed
ding planned in your mind, but please be open to new ideas. Share the planning with your fiance (he wants to have input even if he says he doesn’t). Try new th ings, investigate before you make your decisions. But DO NOT let the wedding take you over. Do not become so wrapped up in the wedding that you can’t sleep @ night…
Take is from me. Breath. Relax. Plan Early.
Lucky for me, being on the show helped a lot. We got to meet different wedding vendors/sponsors (check out the list on the website). So I decided to go with a few of them!! Also…if you have the opportunity, grab your fiance and go take ballroom dancing lessons!
Thanks for reading 
Don’t forget to watch me on TV!!
