I Am On This Show to Embarrass Myself By Wearing Other People’s Heinous Clothes

shea_2000x1333Emily’s haircut – she was a little redundant when she was talking about it. But I thought it was good that she got those extensions taken out, I wasn’t a huge fan of those. They did not look right in person and I’m glad that she had the guts to go for the change. Now she’s really embraced the look, it just took her a little while to get used to.

Would I go for a drastic haircut? As a matter of fact, my hair was ten inches longer before taping, but Jeff likes short hair. So when were still long-distance, I cut it up to my chin, flew to Pennsylvania and surprised him when he picked me up at the airport.

It was fun while it was short, but I’m going to go back to long hair. I like to pull my hair back all the time and it just doesn’t look right pulled back short. I need to be able to get it out of my face.

My dad has been very open with me about his relationships and when he’s been married and when he’s gone through divorces, the people that have been by his side were his children and his best friends. So, it’s been very tough at times but it’s also in a strange brought the family closer together. Because when you go through tough times as a family, you really have each other’s backs. And I think that all of us through that period of time just wanted Dad to find someone who was right for him. We just wanted him to be in a healthy relationship.

In a group of girls, you tend to be pretty blunt. And I think that Hadley is going through a stage in dating that I can relate to. I remember what it felt like never wanting one guy to smother you…but that’s when you realize you shouldn’t even try to be in a committed relationship. Everything just comes with time — I think by “maturity,” I just meant time. Getting out there, finding what you want and the closer you get to what you want, the more you’re willing to give up of your freedom to be in that relationship.

I think it’s fun to cut loose like Emily did at the slumber party but I had had a really long day and wasn’t really in the mood. I don’t know…I’ve sort of put those college days behind me. I left that craziness when I graduated, so it’s not really how I would choose to behave.

Of course I didn’t want to put on Kellie’s basement clothes! They’re down there for a reason, she won’t even wear them! But she made me put on that white outfit, which was way too short for me. I was just trying to appease Miss Kellie, I would do anything for her. I don’t know why I seemed to be forced into other people’s clothes so often. I don’t know where I am going wrong! I’m pretty sure I am on this show to embarrass myself by wearing other people’s heinous clothes. It’s all in good fun!

My favorite part of wedding planning is picking out the dress. Aside from that, I’d rather pass it along to somebody else. Get a good wedding planner to do it for you. I love planning events, but when it comes to your day that you want to really enjoy? I kind of would like a couple of surprises that I don’t even know about and I’d not like to have all that stress. I think it’s a time to really lay back and enjoy being engaged, and not get caught up in too many of the little details, because they can overwhelm you.

    Shea,

    I think you are a nice person but you seem to be putting unrealistic expectations on your fiancee. You tell Hadley you have to be willing to let go of certain things to be in a relationship. However, it doesn’t seem that you’re doing that.

    You overload your beau with the perfect ring and a proposal. He gave half his body to give it to you. Then you tell him that you want a nanny b/c you don’t want to lose your independence. As a Mother, it’s no longer about you but about your children. It seems that you’re being hypocrital especially when giving advice to someone about relationships.

    The ring should not matter.If you love him with all of your heart, like you claim, the trivial material possessions should not matter. Money and material items can go at any time.I would hate for you to get a reality check. God tends to take things away from you that you place before him.

    You and your fiancee should have had a discussion on what all you are expecting in a marriage and non-negotiables prior to the proposal. I would not want your future husband to feel the burdens of the lifestyle your father afforded you and not one that you earned. While he may stay, you may end up losing him in future years. It seems you want a wedding and the idea of marriage but not the work, compromise and sacrifice that goes into it.

    Be Blessed.

    Shea,

    I have totally enjoyed “getting to know you” on this show. I think you have so carefully watched what you have said and watched your manners just as a proper young woman should. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things in life and how you and Jeff choose to live is between the two of you. GOOD LUCK to you in the future!

    Shea,
    Congrats on the engagement!! I love your ring….I am a bit of a diamond fanatic-how big IS it ? It looks to be at least 5 carats :)

    I LOVE your outfit in that picture! It’s so simple, but so classy and well put together. That basic black scarf is great! And don’t worry about little miss “Southern Woman.” You don’t need her “advice”!

    Shea,
    You are such a kind girl with so much class. You have so much to offer. I went through what you did, but my mom (my best friend) died when I was going through a divorce with a cheating husband. I had two small children
    18 mos and 3 yrs. I had given him an ultimatum when we were dating, just like you sort of did with Jeff, to get a ring…you see how that worked out. Thank GOD this did not happen to you later like it did to me with kids.
    I am now happily married with three wonderful children to a great husband ( a doctor :) ) whom I never would have met if I hadn’t gone through that experience. It teaches us something, listen to that voice inside, go for the one that CAN’T WAIT to be your husband. Good luck girl :)
