Brian and Melissa

I just got back from my dress fitting… I love my dress. I love it. It’s way bigger and more elaborate than I ever imagined anything I wanted, but as soon as I put it on I loved it. It’s looks really nice in white, I hadn’t seen it in white because the one I tried on originally was cream colour or something.. oh it was Ivory. Yeah so it was all sketchy when I chose white cuz no one knew what it was gonna look like,but turns out it’s really nice. And thankfully I am going to Vegas next weekend to work on the strapless dress tan.

I go back there in two weeks for my real fitting, so I’ve been told I need to have my shoes by then. So i’m gonna be on a hardcore hunt for shoes. I’m sure i’ll find something in Vegas. There shouldn’t be too many alterations to the dress anyways, it fits me really nicely.

Anyways, i’m a disgusting fat pig… so I realized today. So like when we got engaged everyone was like omg now you need to diet!! And i’m like yeah yeah whatever, I don’t care. I’m not *that* fat… so whatever, I didn’t care… plus I wanna look like what I usually look like! Anyway, I tried on the dress and it looks amazing, but I also realized how fat I really was! DISGUSTING AND UNACCEPTABLE!! So (And i’m sure EVERY SINGLE PERSON DOES AND SAYS THIS) i’m gonna join a gym tomorrow. It’s not out of the ordinary, I was always part of a gym… but since we moved I haven’t been. So tomorrow I’m gonna try and join one near work, so I can go at lunch or before work or after or whatever. Like I just wanna be toned more in my dress… like I think it looks good, but I look super fat… so I think in two months I can probably hopefully if I try really effin hard, I can lose a tiny bit of weight. We’ll see.

eeeeeee! I can’t wait! It’s like two months away!! We printed a sample of our invitation today.. finally! You don’t even know how many printers we had to go to until we found this one who would do it. I can’t say much because I don’t wanna give away what they look like, but like it was just really hard trying to find someone. I think I went and called at least 10-20 different printers, and NOT ONE OF THEM could do it. Thankfully I work in a wicked agency with amazing designers who gave me tips on how to get these printed.

Hmm, what else.. oh In August my parents are taking us out to dinner for like a celebration thing. I think originally my mom was gonna do a shower for me, but it got late and it was a lot of planning, and I told her I didn’t need that, and she can do something small if she really wants to. So she’s taking us to dinner, which is nice.

Ok, that’s it! Eeeeee! High Tea with the Bridesmaids this weekend (thanks guys!!!!!!), then Vegas next weekend, then Dress Fitting the weekend after, then we’re throwing a family BBQ, then we have tix to go see a show the weekend after, then bachelorette party, then bridal shower, then a friend’s wedding, then brian’s bachelor party, and then his aufreef and then… then… THE WEDDING. Like every weekend is booked until the wedding, which means it’s almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH! SO EXCITED AND NERVOUS ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Our site was down the past few days, becuase it was hacked!

But now we’re back, and to celebrate our return, we have changed the look of things! Same great posts, same great comments, just a new look.

We’re both very excited about the wedding! It is coming so close now.

We are going to Las Vegas in July (for our 7th trip), because we’re idiots and love going to the desert in the middle of the summer, but also to take some awesome Vegas photography.

With all this wedding talk, it’s funny how I haven’t even given one thought to one topic: Our honeymoon. Quite honestly, I have no idea where I’d want to have one!Most of my friends keep suggesting Europe, but the truth is, I really don’t have much desire to go there. I think I would like to visit England where I could visit some of my distant relatives, but I’m not sure our Honeymoon is the time to do that. Melissa suggested Japan at one point, but I’m not sure I want to visit any more big cities for a while, and I don’t think she does either. To me, a nice vacation in Japan would look like this:

Not so much like this:

There’s always also Australia, Israel, Iceland, Hawaii, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, etc.

Well.. we were supposed to book Steam Whistle last night. But we didn’t…. i’m tired. So not in wedding planning fun mode. The month has been crazy, and now I think we’re both just really tired and don’t really care anymore. Well, we care… i mean, we just dont care to spend tons of time on it. PLUS we just got Rock Band so that’s consuming most of our time… that and me falling asleep on the couch at like 9pm.

At this point, I know Steam Whistle is going to be beautiful. I know Vegas Steam Whistle will be the wedding we’ve envisioned for the past 5 years (or however long we wanted to get married for. ;-))… but there is a lot of planning that has to go into a place like that, and I dunno… i’m demotivated and tired, so i’m in crappy crap banquet hall mode right now. But that may be because I’ve had 2 hours of sleep and i’d like for this week to be over and it’s only Tuesday and bleh.

We realize that after we book this venue it’s going to be a big rush to get everything done in time, because we’re 3 months behind. So i’d have to pick out my dress really soon, which i’m not looking forward too. Although, I have found a nice dress that i want, and it’s getting positive feedback from people I show it to. So i’m hoping that dress shopping will take an hour. And I think i’ll stop eating for the next 9 months… so the dress looks good. I’m already on the best diet, Americano’s in the morning, and then dinner. hahahha it’s great. I feel like crap! :D

-It’s like dinosaurs.

I think it’s funny how people are reacting to the the idea of us getting married in Las Vegas.

There are those people that are really really against it, saying that it’s cheesy, tacky, and then we find out that they haven’t even been to Las Vegas! Then, there are those people that see nothing wrong with Vegas, but just don’t want us to get married there because of their busy schedules, or that they can’t afford it, so they wouldn’t be able to attend. And that’s completely understandable.

What shocks me most is when I hear from people out of the blue–people I haven’t spoken to in years–who tell me things like “hey I read your blog and you mentioned Vegas and I just want to let you know I think it’s a fabulous idea,” and how they “were at a wedding there recently and it was lots of fun and really classy.” These surprise people make me smile, because they go to Vegas for the first time, and they see other people getting married there, and there’s an understanding that develops between them and us as to why we want to go there so bad.

What also makes me laugh, is the fact that we’re even still talking about getting married in Vegas in general. Melissa and I wanted to get married there when we first went there a long time ago, but in the past year we’ve come to the realization that it isn’t practical because we want lots of family and friends to be there. But here we are today, with a poll on the right side of this page, asking people if they’d join us in Vegas to get married. And a variety of different answers.

With all the trouble we’ve been having booking this wedding, suddenly Vegas doesn’t seem like a pipe dream anymore. In all likelihood, it won’t happen, but it’s funny when we talk to people–who were always against us going to Vegas–about all the disagreements that have gone on, and suddenly they’re all like “Wow…. hmmm… yeah, you know what? Just get married in Las Vegas!!” Hells yeah!!

“How about you don’t, ladies and gentlemen, Scotty Don’t.”
