This is bugchick0's Purple Wedding!

When I was at the bridal salon wearing "the dress" and the sales woman put a veil on me, it just made it all real to me. I loved that veil, it was a single tier, comb veil with simple rhinestones along the "unfinished" edge.

I love it until I saw the price tag. $325!! There is no way that I am paying that much for something that costs $25 to make. I just can't bring myself to do it!

I found a website that shows you how to make your own veil. I have purchased ivory tulle and I need to get a comb and some rhinestones.

Just wondering if any of you have tried to make your own veils and how they turned out.

Here is the link to the website that teaches you how to make your own veils.

I will post pictures of my veil once it is completed.

Here is the dress I will wear at my wedding. I love this dress! It is timeless. I love all the little details on it, not too much and not too little. It is so me!

Alright here is my dilemma. I am not a shoe girl. I don't go crazy over a cute pair of shoes. I don't think that I have bad taste, but the thought of having to pick out a pair of shoes is just overwhelming to me!

I'm 5'3 and I want to wear a wedge or similar type of shoe that will be comfortable. I can't wear 6 inch stiletto heels (don't know how some girls do that!)

There are three pictures of shoes I like. I want something with some heel, that's not uncomfortable, but not "silly" looking either. I don't like that the second shoe has the brown on it, I would want it all ivory as that is the color of my dress.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an AFFORDABLE shoe of this description?

I hosted a video scavenger hunt birthday party for my boyfriend's 28th birthday. We had two teams of people running around the city with a list of 50 items to find and videotape.

At the end of the hunt, everyone came back to our house to watch the videos. I was the judge (as I didn't participate), giving points for each item found. The team Bradley wasn't on went first, and their video was very funny!

Bradley's team was up next, which consisted of him, his little sister, and his brother. Just as I thought the video was over and the other team had won, Bradley's sister appeared on the screen and said "Item Number 51, The Proposal," and there was Bradley on the screen down on one knee with the ring in his hand. He asked me to marry him!

I turned and looked around and noticed everyone there was staring at me! I was so shocked! Then I saw Bradley next to me, down on one knee with the ring in his hand.

I immediately threw my arms around his neck and cried, I couldn't even speak so I just nodded to signify "Of course I'll marry you!"

Technically the other team had more points from the video, but I yelled out that Brad's team had won. The other team said "That's not fair!" and my response was "Hey! None of you gave me a diamond today!"

The proposal was very sweet and creative, and the best part of all is that I have it on video to cherish forever!
