Oh the joys of being Maid of Honor....
Well being Maid of Honor for L's wedding is fully underway now...Things are going along great so far but I'm a little harried (yes I know I sound like an 80 year old woman) because I cannot find a place for the reception and I desperately need to book it soon. The reason for needing to book it soon is that we are trying to have the shower in the middle of December and most places are booking up fast because of holiday gatherings *sigh* I just hope we find some place nice but cute as well.
The Bubble House over by Drexel gave me a quote and I think it sounds reasonable...It's about $250 for everything which includes appetizers and tea plus use of their space. The best part of it all is that I get to foot the bill! Yay me! Note the sarcasm...While I'm excited about this honor my bank account is slightly less excited about being out that much money...All in all though that's a pretty reasonable quote for center city Philadelphia in Decemeber. I have asked L's mom what she thought and hopefully she approves so we can move on and get it set up and start the other half of the planning.
L and I have been looking at dresses - bridesmaid dresses that is...We have three designers we like and a few different styles by each. It's going to be a crazy few weeks as we try to get all this sorted out basically before Halloween. We are looking at two piece dresses wiht A-line skirts..I think it's going to be very classy but still cute (at least that's what I hope)
I'm starting to get discouraged because I don't want to be a Maid of Honor looking like I do right now...I am too fat (heavy if you prefer) to be going to shop for bridesmaids dresses...I always feel out of place and even bigger than I am in bridal shops...Plus everything's cute so cute for smaller people that I never know if really looks good or if there are no other options...Of course one of the people who I'd talk to this about, the bride, I can't talk to about it because I don't want to be a Debby Downer and ruin all her wedding planning fun...I have however dropped a size since the summer which is wonderful but it's still not enough...if I could get to the point where I could shop in "normal" stores, I would feel better...
I don't know what's come over me lately but I have been looking at pictures of myself and just being disgusted by what I see...I suppose the current guy drama doesn't help but it's just an awful feeling.. This I do believe is part of the feeling I talked about a few journals before..
Oy! I'll post happier stuff later...I promise
Much love..
