[newyearsbride]

[BayouPrincess]

"I Knew I Loved You"

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

[chorus:]

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

[repeat chorus]

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you

Oh! oh! I'll bring the EMTs! I have experience with them, ya know!



P.S. Howard, I've seen the Colorado pictures, of you in a tux...HUBBA HUBBA!!! I hope I can behave in January! Hee hee.

 

[keenercam]

Thank you, everyone, for being so sweetly complimentary about the dress. I had a scary moment last week when Jenn told me she looked at the pix again and she thought the dress was much prettier in person. I was worried that what she was really saying was that she doesn't like it as much as she thought she did. But I am still in love with it and am really, really hoping that when it fits, I will really love it ON ME, and not just as a gorgeous dress.

Howard - -I love that song, but Josh Groban's "When You Say You Love Me" was running through my head this morning when I was thinking about you as I was getting ready to leave the house. Thinking about how much I HAVE to hear you say that as the last words we share before we part each morning. "Bye, Love you, have a good day." Seems such a small thing, but it means a lot, so Josh Groban may be serenading us for our first song.

Judy -- Yes, he was quite gorgeous in his tux this weekend! I think that his tux will be perfect with perhaps a pink cummberbund and bow tie, and Andrew doesn't seem to mind the prospect of pink accessories, either.

I am so swamped at work and now very sick with a headcold. A 54 hour there and back trip to Colorado with lots of time trekking cross-country at a ski resort and spending time in an open-air sled for a 20 minute ride up and down a mountain for a wedding reception will do that to you, I guess. Still, my partner/dear friend was such a beautiful bride and everything from her welcome bags to the fairwell brunch was perfect! I learned a lot this weekend about how to take care of guests at a destination wedding. Of course, I am hoping that customized blankets will be entirely unnecessary notwithstanding a January event date!

awwwwww... I miss you guys!!! You too JUDY!!

awwwwww... I miss you guys!!! You too JUDY!!

Ditto, Kathy!

Every couple of days I realize how little time I have to do everything that has to be done between now and January. I have tried to create a time line but all of my best intentions (for example, "draft first newsletter" by mid-March) are for naught when I can't control my own work schedule. Fortunately, my friend Marie (original MOH and very dear friend and GodMom to our kids) said she'd come and spend one or two weekends with me in June to help with various crafts and some mockups of the invitations and various paper items. Thank goodness that when Kathy and Judy visited in February we got lots of stuff done that I can take down to WDW in May and put in storage. Between now and then I'll try to figure out what else I can take down early to make life easier/less stressful in January.

I did find a tiara on ebay today that I like (I bid on it and am leaving it to fate -- the ones I saw at the Demetrios salon that I like started at $300) and I found earrings for Jenn for the VR that she loves, which I went ahead and ordered. I also purchased some gorgeous swarovski crystals in various shapes last week. My friend Heather's mom is a very talented jewelry artisan and I am thrilled that she is willing to accept a project of creating earrings, a necklace and a bracelet for the dessert party. I figure we will hopefully be doing on Sunday the rehearsal, then the rehearsal dinner, then the WISHES dessert party so I want to find a cute outfit (especially if I can ever lose another 30 pounds!) and wear that gorgeous jewelry for all three events.

So, I guess when put that way, it actually looks as if I am accomplishing something.

I have also been keeping the pix of the dress up on a minimized window in the hopes it will inspire me to stick to my diet instead of stress eating everything in sight.

 

[keenercam]

Here are the two tiaras I won on ebay. They were so inexpensive and so different from each other that I thought I'd get both (bid minimum and left it to fate) to see which I like better. I also wanted to have them when I go to order my gown in May so I can see which goes better (I am sure the salon was hoping to sell me the one I tried that was $300 or the one I really liked that was $379 -- that's not going to happen! ). It will also be helpful to have them when I do my hair and makeup trial in September.

What do you think?

Cam,

Where did you find the first tiara? That one might acutally work for me.

Cam,

I am sending you a PM since I'm not sure of the quality or the service yet of the ebay seller.

 

[Honeibee]

Gosh, Cam, tough call. I like them both! Hmmmm....guess I'd have to see them on.

Yeah, I'm such a big help, aren't I?

 

[keenercam]

Actually, you are! I am glad to hear you like them both. Howard did, too.

I forgot to post a picture of the earrings I found yesterday for Jenn:

 

[postesf]

HI Cam! :WAVE:

Both Tiaras are pretty...I'm leaning towards the top one. Maybe the black background makes it "bling" a little more??? They are both very nice though!!!

Love the earrings for Jen! I did a combo of red and pink for my wedding. The girls wore red, but the decaorations and all had the combo of colors. Do you have a dress picked out for her yet?

Thanks, Stacie! All I know so far is that Jenn will likely wear some shade of pink. I thought the contrasting stones might be preferable to earrings that are all pink. I can't wait for her to shop for her dress. I am hoping she will want to go when she is done this semester, maybe late May.

Totally not trying to kill this song for anyone...especially you howard, but everytime I hear this song I think of my little Prince Eric growin in my belly I knew I loved him before I met him!!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, Amanda, that is such a sweet interpretation of the song!

 

[BaBeeCee14]

Love both tiaras Cam! Great find But if I had to choose one, I'd go with the second one. I think either one would look great on you though.
