I'm well aware that I just updated my blog a few days ago; however, I've got some exciting news to tell you all! Ok, so you know how in the fairy tale of the 'Princess and the Pea', the princess can't sleep on a stack of mattresses because of a teeny weeny pea shoved into the middle? Most people reference my personality similar to hers (meaning extraordinarily picky). So when I received the call on Thursday that my dress had come in a month ahead of schedule, I had some questions and concerns.... NOT! :D Tricked you!
I was beyond excited to try my dress on!
This morning I went in for my first fitting :) When I had purchased the dress they ordered it in a size a half an inch to tight in the rib cage because the next size up was a larger difference; however, when I tried it on, it fit like a glove! YAY So all that's left is some hemming on the bottom and I'm set! My next appointment is in a month or so, then the dress is mine for the taking. Too bad you guys can't see the pictures. Guess you'll just have to wait until August.
PS- It's OK, you can admit that I totally had you fooled into thinking I was high maintenance ;)
Ok, readers! This post is a much needed comic relief from all of our hectic, uncertain lives. I mean it. Take a few minutes out of your day and slap a smile on that stress stretched face of yours. It's time to have some fun. By fun, I mean let's look as some creative, yet sometimes completely disheartening wedding jokes.
To start:
Men wake up as good-looking as when they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
Now, we women all know this is completely true. How is it that we can go to bed with perfect hair, crimped eyelashes, and minty fresh breath and wake up well, the opposite of all that? Hmm, good question. If any of you can answer this question, please share your secret with the rest of us.
Next:
A man will pay two-dollars for a one-dollar item he needs, but a woman will pay one-dollar for a two-dollar item that she doesn't need.
Again, all I can say is this is 100% true. I find it incredibly hard to resist a sale. Apparently, when it comes to wedding shopping, shops don't include the word "Sale" in their dictionary. I had no idea how big a small wedding budget had to be!
Thirdly:
What's the difference between in-laws and out-laws?...........Out-laws are wanted!
This joke (although rather humourous) does not apply to me in any way. My future in-laws are great! And if you ask me, every wife/husband marries not only their spouse, but the family as well.
Next:
A little girl at a wedding asked, "Mommy, why do brides always wear white?" The mom replied, "Because they're happy, dear." Halfway through the wedding the girl whispered, "Mommy, if brides wear white because they're happy, then why do men wear black?"
HAHA! I love this joke! Even though it does make it sound like every bride becomes a monster, I think it's got charm!
Finally:
If your wife laughs at your joke, it means you either have a good joke, or a good wife.
My response: Good wife, definitely.
So I hope I've been able to put a smile on your face, whether you were having a good day or a bad one. I heavily believe that laughing is one of the most important parts of your day. Without it, why get up? Why plan a wedding, if you can't have fun, loosen up, laugh? Have a wonderful day everyone!
Happy New Years to my few faithful readers! Time for an update :)
Christmas has been a wonderful break for me filled with relaxation, resolution, and much wedding inspiration! After to returning to the cold, snowy, yet completely wonderful weather, my creative juices began to flow, and I think I've got some great ideas for the big day! Including simplistic program ideas, which will EXCLUDE any sort of bow tying, tab pulling, and/or hot glue guns :D (no offence to those fellow brides who included such ideas...**cough cough Sarah...**cough cough Miranda [I love you both very much minus your programs]). So that's a start, plus, my wonderful event decorator of a mother has also been developing her master plan filled with blue prints of the church and reception hall so that the details of the day will be perfect!
On to invitations: Yes, I'm aware it is incredibly early to be making invitations; however, you must remember I won't be in Fort St. John for half of the engagement, so we decided to get them done now. That way, when they need to be mailed in a few months from now, it will be hassle free! I'm crazy organized... it's ok, I'm not offended.
It was wonderful to join together with a crafty team, which included bridesmaids, future mother-in-laws, friends, family, and even the groom! (Thanks, Ryan!), to make the invitations rather then just ordering them from a print shop. It was a blast even though it kind of resembled a sweat shop. Just to be clear, this job was volunteer basis ONLY... minus the maid of honor because that's her job :).
Since I'll be off to school again soon, I'll have to shove the planning aside and focus on studies, but do NOT fear, the blogging will continue as the wedding plans fall into place! :)
