Wedding Fashion

Now, I can't get into details about my dress here since Adam has free rein on reading this and that all is supposed to be a surprise. I will say that I got a call from the place I ordered it to tell me that it has come in. Yes, 23 days after I ordered it, my wedding dress is available for me. Seems strange to me, but whatever. My dad, Cheryl, and Joan (Adam's mom) will be heading up to look at it this Sunday. Fun, fun.

The second order of business is shoes. Here are the shoes I've chosen:

They're pretty comfortable and I plan to prance around the apartment in them for awhile to stretch them out. They are 4" heels which, while boosting me to a whopping 5'7"ish, still gets me nowhere near Adam's 6'8" head. I still have to reach a bit to get my hands up to his neck (a la slow dancing mode) but it'll have to do. I'm afraid I'd have to venture into stripper shoe territory to get something much higher. (Don't think I didn't consider that... but I figured it might not be the best choice for the overall outfit.)

Next up (since my dress is already here and I was going to wait for it to choose these) are the veil and other head adornments. I know basically what I want and now I just have to find the specific model.

After that is the fun of undergarments. < totally sarcasm

My motto for the day is: I can live with the uncomfortable, big shoes but I can't live with underwear that jabs me in the side all day. I await the adventure.

Engagement Photos

We had our free engagement photo session with our photographer last night. He's a great guy and he downloaded and burned all our pictures to a CD before we left last night. This means I get to spread them around right away. Woo!

This is the picture that will be on the Christmas cards we send out as well as in any newspaper announcement(s) we do (click to see the full-size pictures):

And here are a few fun outtakes. I'm so not photogenic.

And my personal favorite:

Welcome to the Wedding Blog
I figured since I moved the website to Tripod and they have this easy to use blog thing I might as well move all the wedding blog entries from my personal blog over to the wedding site. I'm not sure what kinds of things I'll write about here, but I figure I'll post pictures here and talk about what we've got going on every once in a while. Maybe Adam can add his two cents as well.
