Dress/Shoes/Stamps


This is THE wedding dress.
The pic is small but you get the general idea. It is just devastating b/c I bought it from this gal: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZtimelessvixenQQssPageNameZMERCQ5fVICQ5fReBayQ5fPr4Q5fPcNQ5fQ5fSI


And now I want to buy 50 wedding dresses. Everything she has is FAB-U-LOUS and it makes me so horribly unhappy to think that I don't have a fancy party to go to every single day where I can wear one of her varied, multi-colored, swing-skirted, 50s-style par-tay dresses. I don't know where she gets her stuff - but oh SO CUTE!


You will, undoubtedly, recall my previous post about shoes and the most fabulous shoes, the gold shoes, etc. etc. Well, it turns out that I just need more special shoes to go with this dress b/c it is too fantastic to wear earthly shoes. No, it needs, like, shoes designed by Elvis Presley or something. Some days I doubt that I can find shoes that could possibly be outstanding enough to be worn with this dress. Which, BTW, is too small in the chest area - I can zip it to just UNDER my rib cage, but it's not a pretty sight. Vintage size small, for all of you who do not know, is equivalent to a modern day 2T (toddler size 2). Seriously. The gal who is wearing it in the picture (timelessvixen) must be about 3 feet tall. But- no matter. I've sworn off beer and chocolate, and failing that I intend to get an industrial girdle.


It turns out that F and I won't actually have time to go camping before we move to DC. The wedding is the 26th, F's b-day is the 27th (same day as the wedding brunch) and the 28th, we leave for DC. So that'll be out Honeymoon, but better than none at all, I suppose.


I got F a beautiful watch for his wedding gift/birthday present. It's a Swiss Army Officer's Watch like this one: http://www.17jewel.com/pics/tn/S24639t.jpg I have the same one (women's).


I've already spent WAY too much money on the wedding, but oh well. I got a great deal on it and F asks me every 5 minutes what time it is, which can be very annoying over the course of an entire day, so I figured it's a lot more cost effective than marriage counseling, which is about what it's going to come to if he doesn't get his own watch soon.


Also, we ordered (together) the announcements and received them. They're not that bad. We got them at Vista Print (Check them out - they're online) and they are definitely not engraved-quality, but they're quite nice and affordable, too. I even got to choose the paper (linen).

I know they print a heart stamp for the sole purpose of wedding invitations, but this year's was so ugly I couldn't bring myself to it - even if people think I don't know any better.
Until next time.
