Just thought I'd mention..

I've recently purchased all sorts of cosmetics, eyeshadow, liner, gloss, and the like. I will be bringing it all with me, and I have TONS.. and majority of it is all brand new, I mention it so that people don't go out to buy stuff, you can feel free to check out what I've got and use that stuff if it interests you. I did this so that if anyone wanted to match exactly or incase someone wanted something but forgot to bring it, we'd have something. I don't really have foundation or that sort of thing, as I rarely use anything besides lip gloss, but I did get some luster powder and many different lip gloss and eye liner/shadows in a variety of colours. And I'm sorry ladies, I did NOT buy any Mimi (from the Drew Carey Show) Blue eyeshadow!

Dinner On Sunday July 29!

I would like to get together with you ladies, I am house sitting across the street and they are kind enough to allow me to have guests. So if you could let me know if you are available, I would be more than happy to make dinner, but I do need to know who will be attending. Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon!

Update..

As an update, (since I haven't posted one in a while..) I got a second dress (for the reception). Should there be dancing or what have you, I'd want to not ruin my wedding gown, so I got an ivory and black dress to match the rest of you. (picture will follow later). Also, we are in the process of getting the menu together with the caterers (what a surprise the first estimate was). Also, in the process of figuring out to Wedding Cake or to Mini Cupcake Tower. I'm not sure what we will do, but that too is high on the list. I've already purchased some wedding favors, bought lots of ribbon (though I'm sure we'll need more). I've gotten the cake server and knife, a cake topper (HOWEVER, I am looking for a small castle, perhaps crystal, if anyone has any ideas..). In any event we've still got some planning to do. So feel free to give me a call, drop me an offline or an email and I'll be sure to get back to you ASAP.

Dinner.. Lunch.. Brunch..?

Hi Ladies,

Was wondering if dinner would be possible, or perhaps a lunch/brunch? I realize it's a bit of short notice, I was just thinking it might be nice to get together, and I could show you all some of the stuff going on. I want to get some maps printed and a list of some of the attractions and if we could get together it would be easy to determine what everyone would be interested in. Jamie and I are trying to figure out a good "pre-wedding" party, as neither of us are interested in bachelor/bachelorette parties, and we'd still like to have something before the wedding. So, if anyone is interested please let me know, I'd love to hear from you!

Hope all is well.

A little shopping?

Any of you ladies interested in doing some shopping? I need to get a cake topper, and the cake knife and server. If anyone would like to go do that with me, just let me know!

Oh, and Karen & Jenn, I got your dresses today, I will be sending them out on Tuesday this coming week! They look very nice, I hope they fit well.

Attire Update

I got this message from my cousin Krista:

I bought the dress from macy for me & nis online at a sale price. If it doesn't fit we can exchange at any store. Also, in case anyone is interested, I found the shoes for 49.99 at naturalizer.com Shoes. This is the cheapest i could find it.

Krista also says: shipping is free...also I'm assuming we're ordering the black leather shoe.

And my response is: Well, you can get the leather if that is the one you prefer, we were thinking that the fabric one might be more versatile, but I have no preference, so whatever you like best!

Check it out, maybe it's cheaper this way! Thanks Krista!

Possible Shoes?

Alternative Dress if the other one is not in your size:
Dress 1 *** This is my first choice if the other dress can't be found!

Dress 2
Dress 2 Different site, different views This dress is nice, I'm not sure it will be as good a match but if it works for you, perhaps we can make it work!

Check 'em out, let me know!

Actual Dress

Here are the photos that Natalie sent of her dress, and the photo of the 2 dresses. I wish we had better lighting in the store, but you know how department stores are, heat lamps and not hugely flattering either! Anyway, here they are:

<- Natalie's Dress <- Both of them together..

The dresses on the hangers don't look HALF as good as when you have them on! Hope to hear from you.

Similar Style Dress

I could not find the dress Natalie got, so I put together something similar. It does NO justice to what her dress actually looks like, but it is similar in style and pattern.

< see dresses above! >


This was my semi-pitiful attempt to throw something together to give everyone an idea. So the other dress matches well with this one. I hope you all check them out, and let me know what you think.
