How My Life Has Changed

Found this in my wedding folder, must have tore it out of a magazine. Too funny!

How My Life Has Changed Since I Got Engaged

1. I lift up plates in restaurants to see which brand they are
2. My friends are now segmented in an Excel spreadsheet
3. No one asks me about my job
4. I've realized how awful a bridesmaid I was
5. I can't attend weddings without tearing apart every detail
6. People look at my hand not my face
7. I have a team of experts helping me look good
8. I'm obsessed with why people divorce
9. I can't stop drafting itineraries
10. My fiance has morphed from lover to co-CEO

Calligraphy


I'm leaning more towards #10, #8 is nice as well but thinking #10

Funny and borderline inappropriate

















Bobby and I have always gotten the cute little holiday cards with our friends kids pictures or our little cousins pictures on them, this got us thinking about when we have kids and the holidays roll around. I found the funniest shirts ever online that we may be dressing our kids up in for the oh so famous holiday greeting card.

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


After careful consideration I decided on this cake. I'm eliminating the dots (which you cant really see in the picture) and changing the color of the ribbon and bows to brown. They are textured to look like a raw silk material which is pretty similar to my godvari silk wedding gown. Instead of the flower on top we have a crystal "P" that was given to me by a fellow knottie, if you know of anyone that would want it after our wedding let me know. The cake is delicious! Godiva marble cake with Godiva liquor, can you say yummy!!!!!!!

Can my waist look like this all the time?


I love how tiny my waist looks in this picture. Granted there is a built in corset in the dress which is sucking everything in and my endless pair of the wonderful amazing best invention ever Spanx is helping in the suction process, but who cares. My waist looks skinny and that totally makes my day! I'm considering going back to Jenny Craig to help with the remaining few pounds but I'm not sure if I can handle that again. My dear friend Jenny Craig did help me drop the 20+ lbs I had added over the past year or so, I am considering it. Hmmmm........

What to wear in the hair??????











I'm torn between two headpieces. They are both completely different and I just don't know what to do. I've taken a vote and its really a 50/50 split. Thanks for the help!!!!!! =) I'm either wearing my hair blown out and a loose half up half down or I may wear it all down and have loose curls which I've been doing myself lately and gotten fairly good at it. What to do what to do!

This was a gift for my Bridesmaids


I found this gorgeous clutch online at Bloomingdale's. It was on sale, take an additional 40% off and I had a free shipping code. I bought 4 of them and thought I got the best deal ever! What a great gift for my Bridesmaids, or so I thought. When I got them I was so excited, I ripped open the bag like a mad woman only to find out that they looked like the biggest piece of crap ever! To think these were originally $170 clutches, ridiculous! They didn't even look like they were $30 clutches, I was so disappointed. Needless to say they have been returned and now I'm waiting on my refund to reflect on my card. They said it could take 28 days for a refund to post. That's a little nuts. Back to the drawing board with gift ideas!!!!!! Only 115 days left but who's counting?

Is that really the name?


WOW!

My Flower Trial
















I had my flower trial a few weeks ago and am very happy with the results. I'm eliminating the votives and adding taller candle holders which are pictured above. Fortunately I was able to purchase a few boxes from a fellow knottie but I'm on the hunt for 9 more boxes. If you see them let me know! Our linens are the same texture as the ones featured above, I think it's called crushed satin but they will be ivory instead of brown. Our chiavaris are mahogany with ivory crushed satin cushions. I feel like I have been planning this forever, I cant wait any more. I need April to hurry up and get here!!!!!!
