Back in Black!
I'm back ladies!! and the plans keep on changin'!
So it's been MONTHS since I've been on here!! All of our planning went out the window when we discovered that my father was seriously ill. Needless to say, all of our free time went, without hesitation, to him and my mother. He's doing ok, but recently received more devastating news - so I'm half here and half elsewhere...

We have finally set a firm date. It's ages away but we're really excited. I found my dream location at Hauser Hall in Heidelberg and everything just fell into place from there.

We're planning a Halloween wedding - but ELEGANT, not tacky. We're going to do it really classy. I can't wait!! I have so many ideas!!

our new house!
our new house!
   
It's been a while...
and I'll be back soon!!

I've been so busy!! The wedding planning has been on hold lately. My father has been quite ill and I myself am having an operation on Wednesday...

On a positive note, Mikey & I just bought a house!!! We're really excited. We were going to wait until after we got married, but we've just had enough of this apartment and our doggies need more space and a yard of their own. It's been taking up an awful lot of my time, plus my long work hours have made any other planning impossible.

I hope everyone's wedding plans are going well!!! I'll be back in the swing of things soon... xo

house, planning

Black Ask a Question Has anybody seen Three Fat Brides, One Thin Dress??
   
Ask a Question
Has anybody seen Three Fat Brides, One Thin Dress??

I was just watching television and saw this program "Three Fat Brides, One Thin Dress" and it's hilarious!!!

They get three brides who desperately need to lose weight and get them in competition with each other to win a beautiful dress... but along they way they're learning how to eat properly and exercise, etc.

It's also great for us brides who are looking for healthy eating tips, this woman, Gillian McKeith, is fabulous!!

Check it out!!! I think it's on the Womens Network... up in Canada anyhow, not sure about the US. It's an English show, so I'm sure all you UK brides to be have seen it!

Bridal Gloves
Such a classic and classy look

I am in love with little wrist length white gloves and am definitely going to wear them with my dress...

I also want my bridesmaids to wear gloves as well, but I'm having a hard time deciding if I should have them wear the same style or something slightly different?

LOVE these dresses!!!

a BIG HUGE thanks to Sapphire2009 for introducing me to this wonderful designer!!!

I am in love with these dress and can't wait for my girls to wear them!! I'm a little nervous/unsure because I wanted to wear a tea length dress myself... and it's not THAT different than these, but I'm also considering a long dress now... especially now that we're getting married in November.

Black Starting from scratch... Decisions, decisions, decisions...
   
Starting from scratch...
Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I was having dificulty trying to decide what kind of wedding to have, going back and forth with idea after idea... then I finally realized that I should just plan for what is natural to Mikey and I. That is how we came up with the old Hollywood glamour/40's/50's style, which is pretty much what our lifestyle is like!

We're going to have a great band play that plays mostly 50's era music and that we know pretty well. Our decor is going to be mostly black, white and red with accents of silver.

I feel a lot more relaxed now that I have made this decision and, am for once, happy about planning our wedding!! It was getting far too complicated and stressful - on the day that is supposed to be the ultimate act of love and devotion - not anger and stress!

I feel a lot better now :)

Black The Proposal How I went from happy to happier!
   
The Proposal
How I went from happy to happier!
I had been planning on having my half-sleeve tattoo started with a local artist, but at the very last minute decided that maybe I should look elsewhere for someone who specialized in traditional tattoo-style. Then I remember 'that guy Mikey' I had met through friends very briefly on a drunken Toronto-Rockabilly night, who tattoos! He was still on my friends list on myspace, so I typed, and re-typed (about 10 times) him a message asking his thoughts on a piece I wanted and prayed that he wouldn't think I was a loser... but to my surprise he replied saying "that sounds awesome!! I'd love to do that piece!! Come into the shop tomorrow so I can trace your arm". My heart sank, I was terribly excited and terribly nervous all at once!

So I went in, and like a scene in a stereotypical romantic film, the moment we looked at each other face to face, we knew we liked each other... he traced my arm and the following weekend he scared my arm and stole my heart for life...

In the beginning we just hung out - went to see local rockabilly bands, hung out with friends, etc.. but we one night we had a bit too much to drink at a local well-known magicians house and there must have been magic in the air because we ended up kissing...the rest is history, so they say!! We have spent almost every moment together since and I love him more and more everyday.

A year later, on May 14th, on our anniversary, Mikey got up really early. If you knew him, you'd know something was up!! He sleeps until about 5 minutes before he has to leave for work in the morning... I was wandering around doing my thing getting ready for work and spotted him pacing back and forth... before I could get the words 'what's up?' out of my mouth, he grabbed me and kissed me. I giggled... but then he dropped to one knee and I gasped! From this moment on I don't really remember anything he said, all I could hear was my inner voice saying 'OH MY GOD OH MY GOD' hehehe then he pulled out the ring... I was so excited!!! I just belted out "YES!!!" We both laughed and kissed and it was fantastic!!!! What a great way to celebrate our anniversary!!! By making a new one!!! Now I just can't wait to become Mrs Lavender!!!! :)
