So my gown has officially arrived! The weird thing is that I actually dreamt my dress had arrived before I got the message that it was in at the salon. Even more weird is that my dress was early and wasn't due in for another week.
Anyway, I went for my first fitting on Friday and didn't want to touch the dress in case I got it dirty. It is so different when you know this is it...this is the one you will be wearing the day you say your forever vows. Once it was on I didn't want to take it off. It has to be the most spectacular gown I have ever seen in my life. As my fiance tends to frequent this blog, I can't go into too much detail other than to say I love it even more than when I tried on the sample dress and it is more than I could have ever imagined. The whole package...hair, makeup, jewelery, shoes, veil and gown is going to be unbelievable - if I do say so myself!
I go back in a few months for another fitting as my designer doesn't want to make too many adjustments this far out from the wedding...194 days to be exact. Did I mention I am in a triathlon two weeks before! Yep...that is why there won't be too many adjustments as I continue my training. She has cautioned me not to loose too much weight! Isn't that what every bride dreams of someone saying?
Anyway...the planning continues and we have to start looking for paper and designing our programs and get our favours worked out.
Ciao for now.

One month again!
I am so bad right now at keeping this blog up to date. I have been so incredibly busy at work...I don't know how some brides plan a wedding in less time.
Okay...let me think about what we have done in the last month. Not too much really. I bought my shoes which I was really excited about. I had a hard time thinking I was going to spend $200 on a pair of shoes that I was only going to wear for one day (don't know why that didn't come into play with my wedding gown but...it didn't!) I found these awesome shoes that incorporated everything I was looking for - not too tall, not bridal white, rhinestones and comfortable and best of all...$75.
Our DJ has been booked and now we need to start thinking about the type of songs we would like played at our reception. This has turned out to be harder than you think.
We have begun the Videographer search which again is taking some time to decide exactly what type of video we would like and how much we would like to spend.
Our honeymoon has been booked! We have, after quite a lot of thought and discussion, decided to go to Hawaii. We are going to Oahu and are staying at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore. It looks beautiful and I am so excited to get there, even though that means our wedding day will be over, however...our marriage will have just begun.
We had our taste test at the Ranche last week and it was amazing! It was awesome to finally sit down with the Coordinator there and go through the logistics of the day.
The food we tried was unreal. The hors D'oeuvres were beautifully created and tasted even better. It was a really tough decision when it was all said and done...but I think our meal is going to be amazing!
Being there for dinner and looking out over the ceremony location confirmed the fact that Dave and I have chosen the best place to get married! We are both so excited for the actual day and we just hope the weather cooperates and we can have our dream outdoor ceremony.
Finally, my gown has arrived!! I am going for my first fitting tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait. It has been four months since I last put it on and I am so excited to put it on again.
I will try and keep this better up to date than I have in the past.
Cheers,
MS
oh...I almost forgot...199 days to go!
