it finally happened

I always knew this day would come.

Towards the end of wedding planning day, my dad turns to me and says "so when is it your turn?"

Seriously??? Oh my dad, him and his games. He expects me to freak out and say something like "oh no, not for a while don't worry." Well, father, you will be regretting that when I decide to run off with the boyfriend. (hypothetically of course.)

Anyways, if he puts in some funds towards my $2300 wedding dress,

then we'll talk.

another day, another dress

OK, well maybe not so ordinary this time. Check off one more thing for the wedding! My brother and future sister-in-law are in town this weekend to finally get some wedding plans taken care of. Biggest accomplishment of the day: she has a wedding dress! Er, at least she will in July when it gets shipped.
And yes, I will admit that I'll probably pull a Monica Gellar and try on the dress when it comes it. Just to see if it's the right size of course! (hey, we're the same size, what can I say)

The oddest thing was that throughout the day whenever we'd go into different shops to look around, the salespeople always assumed I was the bride. Go figure.

In possibly not-too-related news, wedding planning is coming together surprisingly well. All my nagging is paying off I guess. We now have:
  • wedding dress
  • bridesmaids' dresses
  • wedding party picked out
  • flowers picked out
  • decorations in mind
But we still need:
  • CAKE!
  • photographer
  • a date, maybe.
  • and a freaking guest list, that'd be nice
Um, so maybe not as much progress as we should be making considering this is all supposed to go down in about 6 months.

it's official!

just got the first official thing for brother's wedding. my bridesmaid dress! this also sets the color scheme for the wedding: chocolate & champagne. yum.

I got the dress for 50% off at BCBG. $320 to $180, good deal. but not as good as the $19 pants I got at club monaco!

what a great shopping day. I'm very content.

so as far as wedding planning goes:
date: no
guest list: no
bride's dress: no
wedding party: not yet
cake: no
flowers: no

uh... so basically I have my dress. and we know where it's going to be. I have a dress! =D yay!
