I want this as my wedding dress. I love Audrey and can't imagine a more perfect thing to wear anyway.
Well, my "ceremony" dress.
Yeah, so, this is what we've got planned so far:
We are going to elope, pretty much. Not sure if we're telling people about it or not, but either way, we are having a hand-fasting ceremony in Portland, Oregon as our big ceremony thing. I figure it should cut costs considering it won't be a "wedding," per se. It's like a... Family get-together!
Anyway, it's funny planning the engagement. I have no idea when or how it will happen, just that it will, and soon(ish). I'm way excited about it and just want it to happen already since we've already begun planning and I want to send out announcements (which means making them! DIY!). I wasn't sure that Dan would feel okay with me planning stuff before the ring was bought, but he told me to go ahead and start planning to my heart's content. OH, BOY, AM I!
The other day I bought a binder, dividers, notebook paper, post-it flags and some bridal magazines (RealSimple Weddings and The Knot's summer issue) and today I bought Martha Stewart Weddings- THE WOMAN KNOWS HER SHIT. How I was not aware for nearly twenty-one years of my life that she is the DIY Queen is beyond me. Tons of great ideas. Tons of flags in the magazines. Tons of sketches of our wedding invitations (I know, I've got months for those, but I had inspiration. INSPIRATION HAS NO TIME CONTRAINTS!).
The wedding binder shall become full as time goes. It was definitely a fantastic purchase, as were the magazines, and even more fantastic is the website I found the other day- Light In The Box, where you can find your dream wedding dress for under $100 (well, I mean, some dresses are under $100... Most are under $400, from what I've seen!), not to mention fantastic bridesmaid's dresses!
Sigh.
I'm wedding ga-ga. (Speaking of GaGa, I'm sure we'll play some Bad Romance at the reception!)
Exhausted, but I wanted to make a short entry.
Planning this thing is so much fun!
