The Hair Emergency

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen last night that I had a little hair emergency. Ok, maybe it was a little more than a little. Nothing right now 17 days before the wedding is little to me!

I was getting ready for our Bible study dinner and decided to curl my hair a little bit. It is getting really long and straightening it makes it look really thin. I used one of these old school wands and it is now in the T-R-A-S-H. 

I advise you if you have one to throw this stupid thing away so you never have to go through this situation.

It is very deceiving. My regular iron is in Beaufort, and so I thought this would work just as well...... WRONG!!! I guess I curled it up too far and got to the point where it was utterly and completely STUCK. There was no moving... and I had a dinner in 30 minutes.

After mom tried (and got very mad), and dad (he didn't know what to do because my hair isn't cotton), we finally decided to call Mr. Wayne, my friend Caroline's dad who has cut my hair since birth. I calmly called Caroline, her house, and finally got her fiance Chris to give me Mr. Wayne's cell number. I think he thought I was nuts when I calmly asked "Um... Mr. Wayne, this is Charlotte. Whatcha doing? Are you busy? I have a little situation... You know those curling irons with the spikes, well mine is stuck in my hair and we can't get it out." Mr. Wayne's response, "I'll be right there."

After about 20 minutes of pulling, yanking, and patiently pulling every little strand of hair out of that darn thing, I could breathe!

My dad was cracking up and taking pictures to documents this bizarre situation.

I had already done my makeup and was sweating like crazy from stress and being hot!

Y'all it was really stuck in there. This is no dramatic joke.

18 days until the wedding and seriously this happens?

I almost had bangs. If Mr. Wayne couldn't come, dad would have cut my hair!!!!!

Remember Macy Gray? I felt like her. I've never had this much volume!

After lots of combing and brushing, all of the tangles came out. My split ends are probably out of control, but I'm not really worried about that at this point. My scalp is so sore- it feels like someone hung me from the ceiling by my hair.

Lesson learned: DO NOT TRY TO MAKE WAVY CURLS WITH THIS CURLING IRON!! ONLY CURL THE TIPS OF YOUR HAIR.

Or learn the hard way.... like me!

Ouch.

Miscellaneous Wedding Wednesday- Hair, Colors, Parties

I don't really have a theme for today, so I'm just going to post some updates and wedding thoughts.

 

Yesterday marked 5 months until the big day... FIVE.

Oh. My. Gosh!

 

We have started scheduling parties and showers now that I know what my life is going to look like in the upcoming months... So far I have a Christmas shower (thanks Becca!), Cocktail party (Mom's friends), Sunday dinner (family friends), Engagement party (in PA), Church shower (church ladies), family supper (family friends), and Bachelorette party (YAY!). Yikes. That is a lot and I know more are going to pop up! Will keep you posted!

 

I've been looking at wedding hair.. The problem is that I have VERY thin hair and it doesn't do much. I've been growing it out to get some length but I'll probably need some extensions or something. Luckily, my sweet high school friend Haley agreed to do my wedding hair!

 

 Here are my recent pins:

I am so very ready to send the Save the Dates. I have them all addressed and ready, I am just waiting on the rubber stamp to stamp my parents' return address. I simply cannot write that address over 200+ times. Not happening. I addressed all of them myself, that was enough!

 

Here is what they'll look like but with my parents' address:

A lot of you have asked me about my wedding colors. I am keeping the bridesmaids dresses a secret (because I can hehe), but I'll be vague.. The only "color" I have incorporated already are the dresses and flowers. The dress color is like a seafoam green/light blue kind of color and I am having light pink/hot pink flowers- peonies, pink hydrangeas, tulips, maybe some roses. My grandmother loves tulips and I was named after her and her birthday and when she died is in March, so that will be a tribute to her!

 

I am almost finished with our wedding website, I am just waiting on Tyler to finalize his ushers and best man (formally ask him) and I can put up the wedding party page! If you want to see it now, you can view it at www.weddingwire.com/charlotteandtyler.

 

That's it for today, but next week will be the Save the Dates and Engagement Announcement from our local papers!

 

Ta ta,
