Dresses

Thursday, January 22, 2009
So, yesterday I ordered Dress #2! Hopefully it fits and flatters and all that good stuff. I already have my dress for the beach wedding, but I wanted something a tad more casual for the receptions back home. For the beach wedding dress, I got an incredible deal and the dress fits like a glove. No alterations needed unless I gain or lose a bunch of weight. I also got a great deal on the more casual dress, and it's exactly what I had in mind when I pictured what I would ideally wear at the other parties. I completely lucked out, too, because when I went back to the website today it was out of stock and the price had gone up! Phew! Glad I didn't sit that one out - I may have snagged the last one!

Next on the list is to get the rest of the save the date cards out. We've gotta push on our families a bit to get those lists finalized and get the needed addresses. We are also going to try to get our parents together to meet prior to the wedding. Hopefully we can find a weekend sometime soon for them to both visit to get to know each other over dinner!

147 Days to Go

Wow! Still quite a bit of time, but we are sure getting closer. I think a short engagement does that. :) We're both working out more, trying to get in shape for all that time we'll be spending on the beach! I was inspired by crazy workout girl at the gym yesterday, she was doing some nutso ab stuff - maybe someday I'll be capable of that again... I'm also trying to decide what to do about my pale-ness. I might splurge and get myself one of those fancy air brushed on tans from a hoity toity salon, but we'll see.

Overall, we're in really good shape with the planning. We're starting to think about the hometown parties a bit more, including getting in touch with some caterers near Heath's parents' place.
