Andro a Italia (and Poland)

Just over one month from today I will be getting on an airplane and flying over the Atlantic ocean for a whirlwind trip through Roma, Venezia, un possibile Milano anche, (can you tell I am already excited for the chance to attempt to use the Italian I have been taking?) and then a few days in Poland.

Where did this come from? Kind of out of nowhere, considering my parents brought it up less than 2 weeks ago, but I think the idea that I will be marrying that cute little Pole of mine and moving to Poland within the next decade has finally sunk in. This is a chance for both my Mother and I to see what Poland is really all about, and hopefully a time for her to get some peace of mind.

My mom is a photographer and so we are talking about buying a used dress and stuffing it into our suitcases for some bridal shots in Europe. Wouldn't I just look fab in a cute little gown in front of the coliseum?

This could be me, except without my dearest love and a much cuter photo.

I'll keep you all updated on the plans, it's kind of hard to believe it is happening so fast. I'll be done with school in 2 weeks, and living in Dallas with Swayzie in less than 3 (we are SOOO tired of long distance!), and then after a week in Dallas it's off to Europe. Such an exciting summer ahead.

Anyone else have exciting Summer plans they would like to share?

That sounds like a fun trip. I love the idea of taking a wedding gown to get some cool shots! Rome would be so great for that. I will be planning my wedding this summer, so I don't know that I will be traveling too much.

I'm soooooo excited to see the pictures you take when abroad! That sounds like it will be an amazing trip. :)

As for MY plans? Probably DIY wedding hell! Or heaven? We'll see!

kate and etiquettely-You know I will be posting the pictures as soon as I can. Hopefully I can wrestle some of them out of my Mom's grip before she takes them home and I never see them again.

eastside-My mom is in charge of finding the dress and she has been ebaying and vintage hunting online all over the place. Any suggestions for great websites anyone?
