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!!!

I love the wedding so much right now!!!!

K so this weekend my awesome Bridesmaids have set up a high tea for us all to go to at The Royal York. I’m like beyond excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Then in August Brian’s aunt Lynda and Darlene are throwing me a bridal shower. It’s so wicked!! It’s weird having a party planned for you and not getting to be involved in it. That’s never happened to be me bfore… but I cna’t wait! I totally love his family!!

Then on August 15th my friend Jackie is throwing me a bachelorette… it’s gonna be a nice clean drunken time.

Anyways here’s the big news….. MY DRESS IS IN! I am going for a fitting on Wednesday. However, I don’t have shoes yet!!!!! So I said I can’t go, cuz they said I needed shoes. Then they asked me if I just wanted to come to try it on for fun. LOL AS IF I’D SAY NO TO THAT! The thing is, it’s perfect timing, cuz I’m totally going through wedding dress withdrawl, I think what I bought is way too much. But I know once I put it back on i’m gonna fall in love with it again. So I can’t wait till Wednesday!! I still can’t find shoes no matter where I look. I’m going to Vegas next weekend and i’m assuming I will find shoes there. Cuz it’s Vegas! Also in Vegas i’m gonna buy Brian’s wedding ring… I know exactly which one I wanna get him. I’ve known for years. HAH and so has he. Oh and I think brian is having a bachelor party in August too. I don’t know any details yet though.

OH AND I finally found a make up artist I like.

AHHHHHH I”M SO EXCITED FOR MY DRESS, BRIDAL SHOWER, TEA, AND BACHELORETTE. I’M LIKE FREAKING OUT EXCITED. ANYWAYS, if anyone wants to come to my fitting on Wednesday let me know! I totally need people there to tell me how it looks… I haven’t seen the white one on me yet, so I hope I made the right decision.

OH MY GOD. I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M GETTING MARRIED. I dunno what happened, but I guess cuz we were so busy planning everything, and now we don’t need to plan anymore… it kinda just hit me yesterday. It’s crazy!!!!!!!!!!


We were talking about it, and I was like what the hell.. how did this happen? Like, totally met some random guy off the internet six I guess, seven years ago and now i’m getting married? AH!! It’s crazy! I love it! I’m so excited. This is one of the first times i’ve been super excited, just cuz I haven’t had time to think. We’re both super excited!

Yesterday we picked out our cake. Well two weeks ago we picked out our cake. Actually 7 months ago. We knew exactly what we wanted our cake to look like, like a day after we got engaged. And two weeks ago we went to Isaacs bakery to get it done and then two days later they called us and said they couldn’t do it. So I emailed our wedding coordinator (who is awesome) and she gave me the name of two places. I called the first place Once upon a cake, and we got an appointment with her yesterday. It was literally a 5 minute meeting, she said it broke a new record. I guess it’s because we were both so set on what we wanted that it was really easy. She said it was really nice seeing a groom and bride agree on the same thing and both have input and stuff because she never see’s that. We said, we’re always like that. Brian and I have the EXACT same style, tastes, etc… so it’s why we agree on everything. And if something comes up that we don’t agree one, usually one of us convinces the other. Like modern gothic, right Brian?

Then after cake lady (who said some horrible things about Zuchter Burk, nothing that I hven’t heard before… but just another addition to why I didn’t want them catering) Brian called his parents while we were driving back and asked them to make the decision on who’s catering the wedding. This has been up in the air forever, so much so that we missed our tasting with Eglinton Grand. So they decided we’re gonna have Eglinton Grand’s caterers do it kosher style. Like, we both freaked out!!!! We were so excited. The wedding feels so amazing now!! This is soooooo what we wanted!! And for so many reasons (save for another blog later). So we went out last night and celebrated at Sassafraz again. LOL! We can’t stop. It’s just so good.

Today we are going to our friend Guin’s wedding in Niagara Falls. We’re really excited we love going to weddings and stuff now. Plus Guin is awesome. And so is Niagara Falls. So everyone wins. Even Big Oil.

Lots more to say but I have to go get ready, I am getting ANOTHER make up trial today from someone else. Because i’m still not satisfied. I’ll update again tonight with a HUGE update that involves something that rhymes “omfg my d_ess is in and I am going for a f_tting next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” also some awesome Bridal Shower blog coming up too!

I can’t buy a dress.  *almost* every dress I try on, I love more than anything. It’s too difficult to choose.  That and the fact that once I choose, i’ll never get to try on anymore ever again in my whole life! Imagine! Knowing you’re only going to get to do this awesome thing once, and then no matter what never again. Bleh.

And as much as I keep saying trying on dresses suck, i’m absolutley lying. Trying on dresses is pretty much the greatest thing i’ve ever done. And it’s so far the best part of this wedding planning.  I love how I look in these dresses, they’re made so fitting so they’re kinda tighter at top and bigger at the bottom, which makes them look amazing on me. At least a lot of them look amazing. There haven’t been any yet that looked horrible or stupid which is what I thought they’d all look like on me.

I found one this weekend that everyone died over, so that’s at the top of my list. But we’ll see… it’s expensive I think, so blah I dunno. I don’t know!! It’s so hard not to buy it when it looks so good. But i’ll probably look back on it all after the wedding when it’s in a box in the basement regretting it. BUT then I think that doesn’t even matter, because it’s gonna look so good on the wedding day that that’s what matters and who cares what I spend.

I woke up today dying to try on dresses. I’m sitting here at 8:30am on Family Day super sad because all I wanna do is go try on more dresses.  Argh!!  And it’s almost over… like I have to choose a dress this weekend coming up I think, i know there’s only so many stores and so many dresses and so much time, so this sucks.

I had to go into Windsor Bridal yesterday to write down the name of a dress. Because I wrote it down when we were there, but something happened to my phone and it got deleted. So Brian was with me, it was really funny he walks in he’s like “wow… I didn’t expect this”.  LOL nor did I.  It’s so insanely big in there, they have every dress ever it looks like.  But I think because they are so super busy that you don’t really get as much time in the dress as other places.

So anyways, after we went shopping on Saturday, I had to go find engagement party wear. So difficult!!!! Because I was in total wedding dress “Everything fits me” mode, that I couldn’t find anything anywhere else.  Nothing fits properly, especially not as well as those dresses.  Plus, I can’t figure out how dressy I want it. I saw this nice dress, but it’s the morning, and I dunno, I think this dress is a night dress.   Then I found this nice top and pants, but the top may have been too casual. I dunno.   I just wanna wear a wedding dress and veil to the engagement party, lol. with a tiara!!   No, just kidding… i’m not there yet.

I can’t believe the kind of girl i’ve turned into. this is crap.  I should go watch hockey and have wings.

I have to go dress shopping today… finally. It’s been like almost 4 months since we got engaged, almost everything is planned, but I’ve only been dress shopping once. and alone. and for 20 minutes. So today, i’m going for real.

Absolutely not looking forward to going, i’m going to this huge bridal store on Orfus rd, that apparently is crazy, and even crazier on Saturdays. I didn’t sleep at all, I fell asleep at like 1:30 or 2, and then woke up at 5 and i’ve been up since then, just thinking about it… a bit nervous, but also super excited, you know? So it was hard to get to sleep. But I just wanna get in and out.

The problem is, all these places close at 6 during the week… so unfortunatley the only day I can go is crazy Saturdays. I’m gonna try and get there early and hope for the best. But i’m sure every other bride is saying the same thing.I semi plan on finding one today… the first one I tried on at Best for Bride was amazing, and I’m probably gonna buy that one if I can’t find anything else. So I don’t know if i have to drag this search out for months anyways.

I’ve invited Brian’s mom to come with me, she sounds excited to go, and as much as I just wanna go alone without anyone, I obviously need people’s opinions. Plus I really love his mom, and trust her opinion, and want her input. And i’m bringing my mom, so it’ll just be the three of us… which is better than the original like 5 or 6 people that wanted to come with.

After wedding dress shopping, it’s another full busy day of other wedding stuff. I’m gonna buy something to wear at the engagement party, then we’re gonna finish registering at Sears, and then maybe register at the Bay. Then we’re gonna look at tuxedo’s for the guys. And hmm.. I know there were other things, but I can’t remember… maybe it’s lack of sleep.

I think it’s weird, how we’re all so busy with wedding planning all the time. It’s all we do. I wonder how it’s gonna be after we’re married? We’re not really gonna have anything to do anymore. We’re not even gonna be able to sit around and look forward to getting married anymore, like we used to. I guess we’re gonna have to occupy our time with buying houses. lol.

Anyways, i’m rambling. It’s 7am and i’ve had 2 hours of sleep and i’m literally just sitting here waiting to go pick people up.
