Booking the Wedding

I just spent a good chunk of my lunch break trying to convince Steve that we should book our date with SLVW already. He doesn’t see the point seeing as it is over a year away and things could still change. Plus, he wants to get Rosetta Stone so we can both become bilingual (Spanish) to improve chances of getting higher pay. The wedding/ photographer/ flowers/ limo/ minister/ everything else costs the same as the full Rosetta Stone package. Great! He can buy RS, and I’ll pay for the wedding. Win-win, right? 😉

I will continue to work on the booking after work. Especially because he tipped the waiter $10.10 “in honor of our wedding date.” Yeah buddy, I know that’s our date, but can’t we make it official? Not that I have the 35% down payment yet, but I will in a few weeks! After all, it’s less than $175 to guarantee the date and time we want to be forever tied to one another.

I love my crazy fiance.

Going Incommunicado for a Bit


hahahaha, that made me laugh!

my dead computer, however, made me cry, pull my hair out, and sweat bullets. i also got online with Dell tech support last night for just shy of an hour and managed to get a new motherboard and AC adapter, and fixed webcam. and the tech is coming to me.

basically, outside of work hours, i won’t have any computer access for the next few days. my fiance has a computer, but it’s so virus laden and painfully slow, that i will do without instead of getting frustrated at his. it was sufficient to chat with Sai in India last night, but that’s about it. *sigh*

Birdcage Veil

I was perusing the net earlier looking for tutorials to make a birdcage veil and found this really great one! i think i’m going to make one with another comb – as in, not my specifically purchased “tiara” – and see how it works. for all I know, I won’t even like the way it look on my face.

Check out this tutorial to make this gorgeous birdcage veil…

Potential Dresses (for me)

Remember this post? Well I just got an email asking how much shipping was to a girls zip code out in CA! I emailed her back almost immediately, but who knows if she’ll follow through with it.

And with every email I get about the dress, I started looking at other dresses. I found a local store that carries the Dessy bridesmaid lines in Durham and, if the dress actually sells, I’m going to go look at them.

I am currently coveting these, but I dunno in what colors until I see the fabric in person… Oh, I couldn’t copy the dresses, only the sketches, so you have to click through to see the actual dresses. They’re so pretty! Now for the girl to come through and purchase mine…

Random Wedding Related Stuff

There was much to discuss last night in the Benaim-Fletcher household. And discuss we did! He doesn’t think he’s cynical, just a realist. He knows I am nothing like his ex’s, and that I am so totally different from them. I am different from every woman he has ever dated. He is different than any man I have ever dated.

We discussed the wedding events, time frame and more. We also discussed the wedding I am in at the end of August. While he is obviously invited to it, he doesn’t want to wear a suit (but really, what man does?) since it is in August and hot and and and. I assured him that for our wedding, he can wear flip flops and shorts for all I care, but for this wedding, he needs to have a jacket and tie be a part of his wardrobe. Sadly, that’s a big reason why he doesn’t want to go. But I do know a thing or 2 about being unhappy to be forced to wear something I dislike. I’ve been in tons of weddings and haven’t always liked my bridesmaids gowns.

<--- the dress for the August wedding. Hopefully it looks normal on your screen and not squat like it does on mine!

A friend of mine tweeted me a link from the Church of the Flowers website. They are apparently casting for a new TV show about Vegas weddings (go figure):

Happily Ever Faster – Casting Questionnaire: Happily Every Faster is a new wedding series on TLC that documents the love stories of different couples and their journey to matrimony at the Chapel of the Flowers.

Any other vegas brides out there? And really is anyone actually reading this thing?
