Whew okay I'm alive guys I swear. Work is NUTS!

minnew - your pictures are awesome! I can't wait to see more!!

Rhiann - congrats on finding your dress!!!

TimandJoyce - you guys are adorable! congrats!

Also could I get re-added to the date list? I got deleted! :( (June 19th,2010)

Last update from me was when I got the call from the bridal place about my dress!

So I went, and I just LOOKED at her and knew she was mine. I love her so much!

I tried her on again though and danced around knowing she was going to be mine!

So, my good friend took pictures of me in it,but she's been so busy with school,

I haven't talked to her in over 2 weeks! Stupid grad school!

So here are the two pictures I DO have of her!

Love her! Anyways so I ordered her on the spot, she was A LOT more then I thought. The price on the tag was right

but who knew they had all these other charges. Like shipping and a bag fee! Anyways she came in at 1,009.65 - OUCH

Oh and I got shoes!!! They are fantastic!!

And I guess that's about it! Oh I mailed the STD's last week. I'm exciting for everyone to get them!

I also went and got pricing for printing our invites(my bro's g/f is designing them) and turns out it's

going to cost me less then $1.00/invite for everything (deal!)

I hope everyone is well! I'm going to try and be around a lot more! :)

I need shoes myself. Something flat heeled and with a thick sole, I'm so short I need at least 2 inches to not trip on the dress. :lol:

I already have the perfect shoes, my parents and my fiance just think I need new ones.

Why bother when they're already flat heeled, tall and colour match?

Sheesh, my aunts wore running shoes under theirs.

I am going to wear the sandals, I don't care what my parents say. They wont even see them and they're super comfortable.

I really don't need another pair of shoes.

Love the dress starburst! It's gorgeous!

I wore shoes that looked like sandals and had a little 1.5 inch flat heel. I didn't want to wear heels since we got married outside, but the dress was a little long without something to give me some extra height, and my husband is 10 inches taller than me as it is, so I wanted to even the score just a little :lol:

Anyone else have a freakishly tall man? :P It made for a couple challenging photos. Its funny how I never really notice the height difference until I look at pictures of us together.

My fiance and I are about the same height :( He claims he's an inch taller, but I disagree. We've done the back to back height test a few times. lol

Thus, I am definitely interested in flat-footed shoes, barefoot or flip flops so I don't appear taller than him. I don't know why that bugs me, but it does :lol:

The white ballet flats sound lovely. I like the sparkley flips flops too.

I am going to be barefoot since we are getting married at the beach. Sean is going to be barefoot too. Aww!
