Wedding Shoes

I'm home alone...with wine. Never a good thing!! I'm breaking in the wedding shoes. I guess tipsy is the way to do it! Love these shoes. VERY comfortable and the added bling just makes them very special and I won't be towering over Dave with 3" heals. And hopefully I'll be able to walk stable and steady.

Dress, Veil, Bra, Slip, and Shoes

I FINALLY got a good bra to wear under my wedding dress. I tried everything on today and was tickled everything still fit and I still loved the dress. I tried on the new bra then tried the dress on with and without the big slip. I ended up deciding to wear the slip. Without it, the dress looked a little "dumpy" on me, but with it, it gave some definition to my waist and God knows I need that right now! My arms are still flapping in the wind, but I still think the dress is very pretty.

I THINK I may wear the veil. I'm still up-in-the-air about it and may not make the final decision until I know what my hair is going to do in June.

And I decided on which pair of shoes to wear between the two pair I bought. I realized the one pair of sandals aren't actually white, so they looked dirty when wearing the dress. Besides, the other pair of shoes are FAR more comfortable, they're fun and they have some "bling". I think they'll add a neat, bit of humor to my look and they'll be more than comfortable all day.

My biggest fear was that I had gained weight since I bought the dress in February. Thankfully, I have not! I haven't lost any either, but I'm happy I haven't gained. And I was also afraid I wouldn't like the dress as much as I did originally. Even in our horrible lighting and with a crappy mirror, I still loved it.

Ahhh...more decisions finalized. I feel much better.

Some Things Getting Done

Today I picked up my wedding band at Kay Jewelers. I've never bought a wedding band before, so I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess I was expecting more than having the ring wrapped in tissue paper and stuffed into a clear plastic bag! She asked if I wanted a box...well, yes please! Seeing how I have to keep it in a safe place so I remember to take it WITH use to NY, yes...a box would be nice. The "box" I received was the tiniest little white cardboard box I've ever seen. Oh, well. It holds the ring and I'll always know where it is...I hope!

I also bought two pairs of shoes for the wedding. One pair is a more traditional sandal that will be very comfortable and fashionable. The other pair is VERY unconventional, but appear they'll be the more comfortable of the two. They're a little funky AND they had bling...that's kind of what sold me on them. They're from Sketchers. I'll have to try both pair on with the dress to see which will work the best. I'm hoping the Sketchers look as cute as I'm thinking they are. I'll also be the same height as Dave with them on.

I picked up some earrings, a necklace or two and a pretty bracelet. I'll only wear the earrings and bracelet for the wedding. The halter top of my dress will make a necklace chafe.

I also bought a bow maker at Michael's Craft Store. It's called Bowdabra. I picked up two more spools of our purple ribbon and we'll make our own bows for the wedding reception. It'll either be fun, or we'll screw it up! LOL A DVD came with the bow maker, so hopefully we'll get good instructions.
