Activity for OMW

My cake lady was asking me about the top of my cake. Since my wedding is a a beach, she's doing a beachy feel to it and asked if we wanted a cake topper or a big open shell. I'm thinking about a big open shell (made of white chocolate) with two...

Here's what I accomplished: 1) Went with my last bm to get fitted - and she told me she was pregnant (oops), so we just ordered a bigger size to alter. 2) Registered at Sur La Table. OMG that was fun. That little scanning gun was way too...

As of today, I am three months out. Here's what I still need to do: Make my centerpieces Address the invitations Figure out ceremony details (vows, marriage certificates, etc.) Get the last 2 bridesmaids to order their dresses (doing that this week)...

So I want to buy a neutral palette. I already know I love Urban Decay and Lorac, and both have neutral palettes out there. So... Which one do I get? Option 1: Urban Decay Naked 1 Option 2: Urban Decay Naked 2 Option 3: Lorac pro palatte Thoughts? ...

HOLY CRAP!!!! Thank goodness it's a midseason finale and not the real one - we only have to wait 2 months instead of 5.

And it fit pretty well - but I felt too smooshed at the top and fat was where fat should never be. The David's Bridal lady said it was the bra I tried it on with, and that they don't have good bras there (they actually admitted it) and recommended a...

Yay! I just got an email from David's Bridal that my dress is here! Unfortunately they are not open and I am hesitant to go tomorrow since it's in the Houston Galleria area - a nasty place to be on Black Friday. Grr. But on the positive side, it took...

So I'm off the entire week, but with grading papers and writing a thesis, not so much. :-( BUT.... FH is also off the entire week - so I forced him to sit in his office and write his half of the invite list and gather the addresses. And he's doing...

So I'm sitting in my car, waiting for the rain to subside before I can run into the mall for flats. For those who are wearing flats, what color? I have champagne strappy shoes for the ceremony but need flats for the reception. Not sure if I want...

Mine: To work on my brooch bouquet. And tomorrow I'm going dress shopping. Here's hoping the dress I like fits and looks good! What are you guys doing this weekend?

Who's doing some DIY? In an effort to avoid grading 90 exams and finishing chapter 1 of my thesis, I'm going to make some of the brooch flowers for my brooch bouquet. What about you ladies?

I found the box on my doorstep when I came home from work. I'm dying to open them, but I want to wait for FH to get home so we can look at them together. So excited! Not excited about the prospect of addressing them, but excited to see them! I'll...

Just ordered my invitations. Next up: call David's Bridal to get an appointment for me and my bridesmaids, and schedule a date for our engagement pictures. BTW, since there's no groupon for VP, I googled VP promos and got 50% off my orde- and free...

What's left of my family is pretty sane. No one is bitching/griping/demanding. My BMs are awesome (sister and two best friends). What's left of FH's family is pretty sane (well, except for a crazy adopted sister, but...). Getting my venue, band,...

So, now that I've decided I want to make a brooch bouquet, I'm looking for brooches everywhere! JC Penney's has many on sale for under $10 - and I found a perfect coral one that matches my colors. I then bought two at Kohls. Next weekend I'm...

Hi fellow orphans! How's your planning going? I had a change of heart, and I'm glad I did. I had previously decided to buy and wear a bridesmaids dress instead of a wedding dress because I like color (and because since my parents are dead, I found it...
