I decided to buy those random heels that I posted last week. They arrived in the mail today, and I quite like them. I’m glad they even fit! Now let’s see if I’ll actually like them after wearing them around the house for a bit. The heel is not too high, so I can actually walk [...]

Want to Watch Ba Fall?

I have a few requirements for the shoes I wear on my wedding day: they must look interesting, be somewhat comfy (at least for the reception), re-wearable, and not be white. I plan on wearing different shoes for the ceremony and the reception. I don’t usually buy shoes, so I have spent an interesting time [...]
It’s a good color.
Posted in Uncategorized on January 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My favorite colors are black and red. I like those colors because varients on the hue* are plenty awesome: grey and pink. Once upon a time, way before I got engaged, I wanted a dark red and black winter wedding. I would have had the ceremony at night, with everyone wearing dark red and black, and [...]
This is just too cute.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard the name “Lauren Alane” all over the web, but I never stopped to check her out. Apparently, she is a super-nifty person who lives in Winter Park (so close!) and makes cute felt birds. I would be proud to have something like this up upon my wedding cake. Check her [...]
I *heart* this. Good thing I can’t afford it.

This would make a pretty awesome wedding dress for me if I ever got married at the Disney wedding pavilion.
Reading Hour with Ali

When we first got engaged, Billy and I picked up a couple books to prepare us for what we had ahead of us. More than a year later, I can say that we’ve not read those two books at all, and have gotten more help from the wedding planner purchased for us by his mom. [...]
There is a lot to do!

… I could probably pick up my invitations and still be back home by 5.
The invitations have landed, according to the shipping information! I’ll have to wait to pick them tomorrow, when I can also do some errands in town. Yay!
Does anyone ever use formal china anyways?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was looking for formal china to put on our Macy’s registry this morning, and while I had chosen a nice Martha Stewart set that was light blue and floral (Billy really wants a nice looking set), I have officially changed my mind to this lovely Marc Jabobs set called “Elizabeth.” And I love the [...]
Clang clang clang = trolley.

The title for this post was inspiried from a song in “Meet Me in St. Louis,” but I have never seen the movie, so… I am sorry, Judy Garland. Anyways… we are having a trolley!!! Why?!
1. I do not like limos.
2. Parking at the church is already ridiculous on a normal basis. On Memorial Day weekend, [...]
Bird trees!

Last November, on Black Friday, Brandi and I set out on a shopping expedition that started at, like, 3:45 in the morning, and ended by noon. I hope we never have to do that again- I was seriously pooped by the end, and you start getting really crabby by 9 o’clock, and when you see sunlight [...]
James Stewart…

… is not going to be on our wedding invitations.
Although a stamp commemorating James Stewart is my one of my favorites on the USPS site (he is one of my favorite actors!), it would not make sense to have him on there (unless people knew Billy and I actually liked watching his movies). So, we have avoided the tempting Zazzle [...]
Boo!

Dear Urban Outfitters-
You suck! Last week, I went into a tizzy about buying these really nice bird tree thingys, and now you went and lowered the price by $6. I could have saved, like, $27! And that means a lot to me!
… But at least I didn’t buy them when they were $40 each. Now [...]

The holidays were nice, really nice, but I was seperated from my wedding planner at that time, and now I know never to go anywhere without it again. I don’t want to say it, but it’s “crunch time,” and we have 137 or so days left. I thought the day would never come where I’d [...]
