Hello Lovelies,
I know, I disappeared right after I said I was going to post more often
Sorry!
The thing is ... I have planned *so much* of what I want ... that there isn't much else to do until we can start reserving venues and site inspections and really tightening things up. Also, there is a hitch in the fundage for the wedding. Dear Katie says we will still be able to afford the Castle, but I am wondering if it will actually pan out. Time will tell.
I am still keeping track on the one wedding thing per paycheck goal. Though that ONE thing is quickly going to need to increase!
A couple weeks ago I bought a box of EmergenC for the welcome bags
And a heart craft cutter to use for the guest book.
I also caved and bought a new tiara. The one I had bought I really loved, and still do, but I just wasn't sure if I could find a hairstyle that will work well enough with it. It was shockingly hard to find any hairstyles at all that will go with that type of hairpiece! Also, it is really important to me to do my hair in a way that works with my natural curls. So here is the link to the tiara I ordered. It shipped a couple days ago and I am soosoSO excited to see it. Once I have a headpiece I can really finalize ideas for hair (some ideas) and veil (NO idea)
For hair, I have found two styles I love. One is Taylor Swift from her Love Story music video -- but maybe a little higher on the head.

I think this look is soft and sweet, and might work with natural curl.
A second image I saw that I adore is a girl with a tiny tiara in, but off to one side.

I think this is so cute and adorable!!!
Anyway, when I get the new tiara in the mail I will have to put it together with the dress and see what looks like it will work.
And now the big news... I visited my Dad. And I told him we are planning a wedding.
He said that he still loves me no matter what, that he just wants me to be happy. He wants everyone to be happy, including himself. I asked him if he would attend, and he gave a pretty standard Dad response that translates roughly into yes. He said "Well, it depends on where I am whats going on...". Which makes some sense, very very long store here about my Dad and work and moving all over the country etcetc. I think though, that if it were my sister who told him (and marrying a man) it would be an absolute yes, rather than a kind-of yes. But it wasn't a no, and he didn't seem upset ... sooo we'll see. I asked him if he would participate in the wedding (ie, walk me down the aisle) and I got an I don't know/We'll see ... He is in a really tough life-spot right now so I am not pushing the issue. The important thing is, he knows, and he didn't freak out or immediately say he won't come. Small steps (a frustrating eight years of small steps on top of the whole rest of my life ... but again, that story does not belong here).
This coming Sunday we are making a quick trip to WDW and going to the Halloween Party on Monday. This is too cheesey, but I am so excited -- Katie and I bought Prince Charming and Cinderella costumes. What fun pictures we can have!!
I believe that is all I have for now ... I think my next paycheck I better invest in a crafting project (wish jars maybe?!).
Thanks for playing along <3

. I keep thinking about trying on my dress ... but luckily it is stored safely at Mom's house! Thanks very much 
It was excruciating sitting there and trying to hopefully change their mind and get them to remember that Jesus said to love your brother - even if he's gay! I called my mom after dinner and told her how happy I am that she loved me even when she didn't agree with my decisions.
