Wedding Dress
Help!
Ok, well, after many dresses and debating, and such, I finally found the dress, and bought it. I was having trouble finding a lightweight gown that would over heat me, but I found it.
It's actually a prom dress that was discontinued a year ago, but a bridal boutique in Oklahoma had it. So I tried it on, and bam. Got it. I'm so excited... I'm going to take the straps off it, then sew on some fabric ones that will cross in the back, then tie and serve as a pseudo train, hanging down to the ground. I'm also going to try to add some more fabric to the skirt to make it a tiny bit fuller. I can't believe it. It's really happening... Wow. |

Inspiration Board
Beach!
So, here's the inspiration board I came up with in the 15 spare miutes I had the other day. Not exactly perfect, or what I was planning for, but it turned out quite nicely for having been done so quickly, I think. =)
What do you think? |

Wedding Flowers
Fake?
Is there anything wrong with preferring fake flowers over the real deal? It seems so much less of a hassle than the aforementioned. This way, also, I can make the bouquets myself and be sure to get exactly what I want.
That's not terribly tacky, is it? I've never thought anything wrong with it, but the more I look around, the more I see brides not even considering it. I went browsing for them at Hobby Lobby and Walmart (Spare me the jokes. I love Walmart.), and it seemed so much more reasonable for my price range and for my tastes. Any thoughts? |

Bridesmaids
Change in scheme=Change in dresses!
Ah, so along with my new color scheme, I had to pick new dresses for my BMs!!
I finally looked on ariadresses.com, and was VERY happy with what I saw. Plus the little section labeled "album" with real pics with girls in dresses assured me that they weren't abnormally good looking on the model and not in real life. Here's just a few of the dresses I liked. This is just on aria.com, but there are a few on jcp.com I like that I'll add later. All of these would also be in silver, not the color that's shown. |

  Aren't they cute? Maybe this one too, but it may be too much for such a casual affair...   |
Shoes
Or not...
Ok... I'm not loving the idea of wearing heels on the beach. And I will not make my BMs to do so either. But, then again, I do not love the idea of flip flops either. I was thinnking barefoot would be okay, but then I ran across these awesome little trinkets.
I'm thinking everyone wearing little sundresses with beachy windblown hair and these in replacement of shoes. Plus, wouldn't they make a great little BM gift as well? ?? |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
Bam Baby!
Oh, yeah, Baby!
First things first... I did not want a diamond ring... I wanted aquamarine... Why? Because I am obsessed with water. Lakes, beaches, ponds, rain... You name it. And, of course, aquamarine symbolizes water. Put two and two together here... Ta Da! Also, aquamarine is lored to ensure blissful marriage and security. Sailors used to put it under their pillows at night to ensure safe journeys. It is also lored to have formed in mermaids' sea chests. Yeah, I know. It's all a load of crock. But I couldn't help it. I know a diamond ring would not mean as much to me... And, I nearly choked when the jeweler(?) sized my finger. I know I'm a small girl, but the ring had to be sized to a four! Mother of Noah! But anyways... I am in love with this ring. Randy has been so amazing to me, and he loves it too. I am so happy. =] |

Wedding Hair Style
my pride and joy
Ok, so, I hate up-dos. With a passion. Why? I don't know. But I do.
So, the look I'm going for is [looooong] and [floooooowy] and [cuuuuurly]. As of now, however, because of a quick decision, my hair just barely touches my collar. Maybe by June 14, 2009, it will be long again though. =] Hopefully, anyways. Also, hopefully, my hair will be the normal dark [dark] brown again. i went a little crazy this summer and went through like 6 haircolors and now I'm like a human crayon box. ha. |

The Proposal
Taking My Breath Away
Okay, so it wasn't at the end of a horse-drawn carriage ride, or in a fancy restaurant or anything like that. It was, however, so much more personal to me.
I work at JCPenney in the local mall, and consequently, spend pretty much every waking minute there. I also have this complete obsession with rain. Love it, love it, love it. Yep. So, knowing the background... He had gone to "Gamestop" to look at some kind of game while I was getting my nails done in the salon. [red tips! woo hoo!] Near the end of the forty-five minutes it took to get them done, he showed up and sat with me while the salonist [?] finished. We left and walked toward JCPenney [at the complete opposite side of the mall], because we had parked there. So, there are these benches right outside the store. We got closer to them, and he asked me if I would sit down. Being the "go-go-go" person I am, I was hesitant. But he kept pushing, so I gave in and sat on the bench. [Why did I sit? Because Randy is a full foot and a couple inches taller than me.] The next thing I know, he's down on one knee, pulling a box out of his pocket. I nearly fainted. It was really not expected. So, then the inevitable, "Will you marry me?" I gave him the biggest hug I could possibly ever give. Even so, though, after a few minutes, he asked, just to be sure, "Was that a yes?" I replied, "Of course." Next arrived many conratulations, and pats on the back, and I believe I remember one or two catcalls. And when we finally made it outside to go to the truck, guess what? It was raining. So, to end the story... ilovehim |
