Progress Post - 11 Months

Nov 15, 2009 20:01

Well, we haven't officially decided on a date, but I'm about 93% sure it's going to be October 15, 2010. That is eleven months from today, and exactly 1 year since we were engaged. We've been together 10 years, and October 15, 1999 was the first day we met ( Read more... )

your instant photo guestbook.... stealing it! perfect! so perfect!

I know, right? I totally stole the idea from another bride on here. It's such a neat idea. And, I think it will make SIL feel really involved, ya know? I was worried, since we're only having 3 attendants each, and I was her MOH, that she'd feel left out. Even though her "job" is really important. Now, with this idea, it just seems even moreso to me. I hope she feels the same way. :-)

I love it all-especially the dress inspiration and the picture guest book! I may be stealing that as well!

I am wearing a headband and a cathedral length veil. I will most likely take off the veil after the ceremony and leave the headband. You may be able to do both, but I am not sure how it would look if you wore a blusher and a headband at the same time-could you do one and then change it after the ceremony?

Yeah, my mom sews, so I think I'm going to ask her if it would work at all. I can picture it in my head, and it doesn't look weird, but it might in person. LOL

Or it might look perfect! Honestly, I said no to a veil and a headband or a tiara loooong before we even got engaged, but my dress is really simple and they both add a little bling. Honestly, I loved it when I had the dress on-it just flowed.

...wow, long time together...good for you!

Thanks. :-)

I love that dress (the one you're basing yours off of)!

I do too. I almost want to also get a more "plain" one made for the rehearsal dinner. LMAO Actually, I almost want to get one to wear every day of the year. LOL But that might be a little weird.

Wow, that restaurant at the OKC Zoo is gorgeous! I didn't even know that was there.

I love the picture guestbook idea too. :)

It's The Canopy (are you from Oklahoma?) and it has some things I'd rather not have... like a canopy of fake greenery and a chimp looking down from the ceiling. LOL But it'll do. All of that is above eye level and shouldn't interfere with photos.

Plus, it's only $700 for 2 rooms plus the patio. And they do the setup and cleanup.
