I found them!

I found my perfect wedding shoes and they are on their way to me right now! It is a happy day!

They will look very cute with my yellow and blue themed wedding! And with my colored slip for my wedding dress! That's one less thing to do now.

BTW . . . today is exactly 6 weeks until THE Day!!!!!!

Of Rings and Weddings and Things

Did you know that you make a website for pretty much anything these days? Because it's true . . . you make a website or at least a Facebook event for everything these days. I for one know that I have already created a Facebook event and group for my wedding.

And I am here today to announce that I now have an up and running and pictured wedding site:

Click HERE to check it out!


It even has a link to my photo albums and registries. It's pretty sweet stuff!

And in the way of announcements, the wedding announcements arrived today. They turned out well and we should be receiving the envelopes by Wednesday and hopefully get things mailed out by the end of the week. Be excited!

So I've been ring browsing for Tony. I don't say shopping because at the moment I don't even have the money to buy a ring even if I wanted to. Did you know that the vogue thing to do these days is buy a men's ring made out of Tungsten? or Cobalt? Basically, the trend is to spend upwards of $2, 3, or 4 thousand on a girl's ring and then get the cheapest ring possible for the man. A tungsten ring can come for as cheap at $120. Yep, I'll say it again . . .

$120

It just doesn't seem so fair to me. But I suppose I am not one to go against the crowd about such things so I have come to the decision that I am going to purchase Tony a cobalt ring that looks a little something like this:

This one is going to run me about $185. Not too shabby. And frankly, I can't even tell the difference between the white gold model that would set me back by about $665. And to be even more honest, I don't think anyone would have even noticed it I had not put a real diamond in my ring. But as traditions dictate, I did. And who am I to complain that I have a boy who loves me enough to buy me a diamond?

That's hard to come by these days kids so to thank them on behalf of me for their generosity you only need to do one thing. And I promise it takes less than 2 minutes (if it takes longer let me know and I will feed you dinner or something).

Invited!

Hey friends!

All you lucky readers of my blog . . . which honestly isn't very many of you sadly enough . . . get a first look at my invites! You should feel special. We haven't even got the printed version yet so you are THE FIRST!

Here they are:



I must say I am pretty pleased with how they turned out. Did I tell you I made them myself? 


Because I totally did. 

I'll admit it . . . I'm pretty awesome.

Also, I'm getting married in less than 2 months! Now that is exciting stuff!

Engagements

I took my engagement photos. I'm sure most of you have already seen them. They were so fun to take. Plus it gave me an awesome excuse to splurge (and I mean SPLURGE) on a dress from Shabby Apple. Interestingly enough, Tony actually found the dress not me . . . go figure. No matter, it was adorable and that is what matters.

I've always wondered what it would be like to participate in a professional photography session. I was always kind of jealous of how awesome a picture could make those America's Next Top Model girls look. Although I do not plan to audition for top model anytime soon, I will admit that my pictures did turn out pretty darn good. I think Tyra would be proud. Not that I care what she thinks since I am a firm believer that Tyra is in fact the worst part of that show . . . by far. Anywho...engagements. That's what we are talking about. Do you want to see some of our favs?

Do you?


Yes?

Good!






And if you're real curious there are 141 pictures here so go check them out. Go on now!

And if you're so super jealous of my dress that you absolutely must have one for your very own head on over to Shabby Apple and order you one! I am quite in love with this site . . .
and Tony too of course!
