Hello friends. It's been a few days. I've been making tissue paper flowers, filling out forms, and thinking about wedding vows. Lots on the mind. Not to mention going to the post office - if you know me, you know my horror stories with the post office in my neighborhood. I have a rage stroke every time I have the unfortunate need to visit. Anyway, that is not what this post is about.
Dress: I was sent a list of dress choices today. I knew the maker of the dress a few days ago and visited several websites that had their dresses. And I haven't really given too much thought to the dress. I almost said to hell with the free dress and bought a beautiful one at Brooklyn Flea over the weekend. But luckily, I didn't. I knew that I wanted a tea length 1950s style dress, and I wasn't sure if that would be one of the choices. The dress maker had exactly one tea length non-white wedding dress. But it is in the spring 2010 line. Why would anyone give away these brand new dresses - especially that just went off the runway (am I using all of these fashion-y terms right Cosmopolitan magazine?) So, lo and behold - it was one of the choices. I'm super excited! And, my super awesome stripey marie antoinette shoes will go perfectly with it. I think. Now I have to get measured. Things are coming together. I'll post a picture of the dress soon - I'm waiting to see if my husband to be and my dandy of honor like the dress. They are both in Cleveland right now, I'm sure, eating pretzels and drinking beer and eating snausages somewhere. Lucky.
But that leaves me plenty of time to think about what I get to vow on February 13. I have some ideas, and they are working together pretty well. But, do I mention things like my wizard star? This is our ceremony and so far, it has been very fun and silly and very us. So, why not mention that right? I'm not a terribly serious person (ok, so right now, I've been writing this whole post using the voice of the British reader who read Wuthering Heights on books on cd. Yay, I'm an adult!). So, I suppose most of it will be serious. I'm just trying to get through the vows without bursting into giggles, tears, sobs (of joy of course) or having a panic attack (because I have to be in front of people and talk about personal things). But I must say, I am quite happy with how the vows are coming together. No samples there!
And finally, rings. Who would have ever thought that photographing a ring would be so hard.
Poor Tim tried to send to me several pictures of the rings that he liked but they were blurred or the flash or light just took over. I told him to go with what made him happy. I knew the ring that I wanted to get for him the moment I saw it. I concentrated so hard on finding a ring for him that when he asked me what kind I wanted, I didn't even know. So, surprises abound!That's all for tonight. I'm quite tired and there has been a lot to think about and do today. More to come tomorrow night.
