Like me, my mom has some body issues and kept putting off the search for her dress until the last moment. I’m so glad I convinced her to look for a dress and I’m even more glad she found one that she loved.
Unfortunately, the first she really liked was a discontinued style. Cool neckline, though:
After several more tries, this was the winner. We ordered it in a light green. Hurray, Mommy!
Everybody, i.e. all of this blog’s faithful readers, must have been wondering why the Groom to be has been incognito. Connie is not a modern day Walter Mitty/Billy Liar. I do exist, as some of you can actually attest to meeting me. There are a few reasons that I’ve been an absentee bloglord…
1. I’m not too confident in my writing skills.
2. I’m a ridiculously private person who often has difficulty talking to people I see on a day to day basis. Ask Connie.
3. I don’t want to write anything that might jeopardize my standing as a great boyfriend. Connie might read one of these and realize she’s actually marrying an utter buffoon.
4. I’m trying to minimize the amount of non-job search related stuff that I do online. I’m a goldfish when it comes to being easily distracted. Damn you internets!!!
Anyway, I’m here now and my presence will be a lot more visible. I hope we can bring a smile to your faces as you peer in on us ambling madly toward wedded bliss.
Josh and I agreed not to spend any money on Valentine’s Day this year since we are already making the ultimate gesture of love in August. A pricey one, I might add.
When I came into work this morning three totally awesome Doctor Who valentines were on my desk from the completely thoughtful and wonderful Ellen. My favorite said that I was “Dalek-table.”
I really wish I took the time to make special valentines this year. Of course, part of the problem is that my bank account has about $11.82 in it right now and we don’t get paid until tomorrow. D’oh!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Next year you’ll be receiving fancy gocco’d V-Day cards!
Ooh. Ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh! Up to 70% off on gowns and accessories? Ok, so I’m not going to freak out and wish that I waited to buy my dress because 1) A “sample” sale means that they’re selling the samples that brides try on. 2) THE DRESS I tried on, loved, and bought fit, but it wasn’t perfect. 3) I’d rather have a virgin dress that no one else has had their paws on and is a perfect fit.
I still need shoes, a headpiece, and a purse. Perhaps I’ll skip out of work early and make a trip!
Ok, so I just noticed that the photos I’ve been putting on the blog so far are disappearing. They’re there one day, and then gone the next. #$%^&#$%!!!! Alright, please forgive the technical difficulties, the photos are coming back, even if I have to hold them up myself!
Reasons for the long silence:
Ok, so the clock is ticking, but Josh and I are going to whip this wedding into shape. Folks interested in the latest and greatest of wedding developments, please stay tuned here.
