Upcoming BC and Wedding

Updated options below 4/24/2013

Wow, its only 17 days into 2013, and I have already experienced so much and have made so many decisions! This is going to be a great, memorable year! (I am claiming it!)

First, I need to start with an apology! I have been MIA, both literally and figuratively. Literally, I have have been in Miami several times over the last few months for the holidays because that is where all my closest family members reside. I have been MIA figuratively because I have had a lot on my plate lately, mainly with wedding planning. Oh yea, remember on my last post I was preparing to go to Cancun, and I was worried about how manageable my transitioning hair would be (so much so that I was considering doing my big chop earlier)? Well, that is the trip in which I got engaged!!!  So since I have been back it has been a series of traveling and wedding planning.

Moving on, I have news...I will be doing my big chop in less than a month! I am finally ready! I would do it today, but I want to reach the 1 year transitioning goal I set for myself last February. Also, I need help. I don't think it'd be smart to try to cut the back alone, so I have to call a friend to help. And that is not as easy as it sounds because many of the people I have told are advising me to wait to big chop until after the wedding (August 2013). But that is not going to happen! If I have to deal with these 2 textures for another 8 months I will scream, maybe even cry, every wash day!

Before I wrap this update up, I want to ask for you help/ suggests/ ideas. I am trying to find a cute and elegant style for natural hair to wear on my wedding day. If you have any ideas, please post them below. Also, keep me in mind when you are surfing the internet or passing natural women in the street. I have a few ideas. Tell me what you think:

Option 1 (the one I am leaning toward):
 Option 2:
 Option 3:
 Option 4:
                                                            None of these options!


Option 5:
 Option 6:
 Option 7 (would get a sew in for this look):
 Option 8:
Option 9 (would need to add a piece for this look):

Option 10:
Option 11 (keep in mind my hair is not this silky, so it would look a little more bulky on me):
Best,
