ohh, that is so pretty!

 

[LLLBelle]

That cake is gorgeous! So unique.

 

[Bickimook2]

oh! So pretty, I love it!

 

[BecBennett]

Wow, that's beautiful! It's so pretty it's got me thinking about the type of cake I want...

 

[shippedtosea]

i love it too! my mom said (she hasn't seen it yet!) that we can ask the venue if they can make it or at least close to it I would be very happy. still need to show DF, he is ignoring me because I said i found the cake of my dreams and we can't have it. hehehe

if they can make this cake that will finally be a decision that i actually made! wow..shocker I am waaaay to giddy about this

asked my brother to be a GM, he said yes and seems excited!

 

[BecBennett]

Ok, I'm officially stealing that picture, so I can think further on it...

That's good news about your brother

 

[shippedtosea]

hello hello.

Okay SOOOO..cake. That is so my cake. I am in love with it (clearly..) so I am going to bring a picture to my venue and pray they say thats fine and don't try and charge me extra? yeah here is hoping! Otherwise I will need a back-up cake if they are like $200 bucks more or something! (my cake is included in our price) Though I can see if I can cut something else out so I can have my cake. Just in case I am on the search for a back-up cake on project wedding which I am over half way through! (5000+ cakes! insane) thats where I found the perfect cake!

So I THINK I have made some desicions so lets see. Wedding party seems to be coming together so far I have a MOH and a BM and DF has a GM. After talking to my mom last night I realized that its really mean to not ask my childhood friend (old roommate before me and DF got an apartment) I have known her forever and she would want me in hers. Plus she is the only girl of my main friends that isn't involved. My other friend is singing. SO yeah I think I have another BM even though she will probably do nothing to help and give me crap about buying a dress! I still feel its the right thing to do and if I don't I will get more greef and never live it down. so thats that. I will have a MOH and 2 BM. so much for my one and one. DF still has to decided between his 2 friends who will be his Best Man. He is going to wait to the last second I can feel it.

ANYWAY.....I am still thinking about escort cards (because i'm crazy and I can't ever pick anything!!) What are your thoughts on Pin wheels? I figured out that the origami paper would *** like $15 and then straws would cost like...$5 so that like KILLS my sanddollar $70 bucks cost. My mom says pin wheels don't work with my theme and i'm crazy and I need to stop making projects! I like projects. Keep me sane and make me feel like i'm doing something! What do you think does Pin Wheels work with my theme? They remind me of the beach but am I crazy?
Here is an example

if I'm not crazy and you think it works...what do you think I can put them in that would go and hold them up? I don't like the grass idea...

so thats all for now. let me know what you think

 

[shippedtosea]

I made mock ups of my ideas! Was trying to keep busy on my last day before school starts. DF loves both so I am very happy about that.

Here is a mock up of the gifts and the booklet. the booklet will have my mini comic and song list. cds will have the carriage photo I posted earlier. I got the clear cases in today and the cds

pin wheel! I found this huge pack of card stock for 10 bucks! pages are 12x12 and the pin wheels are 6x6 so I can get 4 out of each color. I will be using different shades of blues yellows and whites with colored braids and white straws.

yay! I actually am satisfied with something I made for the wedding! now sleepy time for class tomorrow

 

[LLLBelle]

The cd cover came out great I think everyone will love it.

I love the pinwheel, I think it will look great in a variety shades. If you don't like the grass, you can always use a shallow dish with sand in it and little shells, or seaglass in the sand. Yea for being happy with them

 

[BecBennett]

Wow, I love the pin wheels.

I'm hesitating to suggest this, because to me it sounds so simple, and I'm thinking surely you've thought of it, and there's some reasonable explanation why you haven't said it... But surely sand would be something the pin wheels would stan up in and would go with your beach theme...

thanks dear! The cd actually is a book and has a comic in it but I didn't post it because...I messed up cutting! so much for mock ups.

I like the little dish idea but..the pinwheel were to cut costs so...i'm worried if I get single dishes I will be bringing it back up!

hahaha no your are not silly to suggest that! I have thought of sand but my mom is kind of against it. she said that sand is heavy and you would need a good amount to hold of the straight up and then people might get sand everywhere so thats when I was like...uh oh. There will be sand in all the center pieces but people won't be touching those! Sand is one idea. The other idea was use that green foam for flowers, punch holes in it and then get fabric and cover it and punch holes as well. This way there is something to hold it but no mess! we will see. I still like the sand

 

[LLLBelle]

Oh no, I meant a one dish/tray for all the pinwheels, not individual ones for each pinwheel. If your mom is worried about the sand, maybe small pebbles would work, wouldn't stick and get everywhere. There's plenty of things you could use. The floral squares could work as well.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I love pinwheels!!! I think they are such a pretty way to add fun into a wedding!

oh silly me! Pebbles would work....I am going to have to look into this. see the cheapest and nicest way. Thanks dear

[shippedtosea]

hey guys, so me and DF got our rings this weekend! yay so here I thought id add some pictures.

mine with my engagement ring in it!

DF's, we still have to wait for the right size to come in

and then there was also a crazy sale going on so we got our mothers these necklaces

Me and DF have the whole weekend together which NEVER happens so i'm totally happy about that. I did get a shocking realization this morning however. So my MOH has been like MIA (at least from me) for the whole summer. she was in Vermont and said she was super busy. WHich upset me that I couldn't get in touch with her, not only because she is my MOH but she is my best friend. WELL she posts on facebook that she has moved into a new apartment. which is great...or would be...IF we didn't already have a lease on an apartment. So here is a break down. I lived in a apartment with DF, MOH and BM and then in January moved to go back to school, leasing out my room. They were suppose to get First month, last month and deposit just like we had to pay when we moved in, however they didn't. I keep getting told that when/if they lease the apartment they will get the money we are owed. GUESS WHAT? no money. Now i'm told that in December I can expect money. i'm so upset/angry/hurt I could scream. so I don't here from my so called best friend for MONTHS and now I find out they move out of our place and don't tell me? I'm sorry to have to vent all of this but i'm so upset. Neither girl has asked about my wedding or cared and it REALLY upsets me. I don't know what to do, I don't even know how to talk to them about all this. I just want friends who care....is that SO MUCH to ask for?

sorry....for all this complaining.

 

[BecBennett]

You're not complaining! I'd be really upset about that too Have you managed to reach her to find out exactly what's going on?

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Oh, I feel so awful for you!!!! I really understand how you feel, as that is totally something that would happen to me. Sometimes it is so much easier to vent to people on these boards, since you can really say whatever you want, knowing we don't know the other party! So vent away! And why does it seem like the worst come out in people around the most important time of your life? Er

Anyway, on the upside, I think the rings are stunning!!! I love your ring so much, it makes me wish I had a pearl!!! I love the antique look to it as well!

 

[shippedtosea]

thank you dears. I have not talked to her. DF is home and I have been trying not to ruin our time with my upsetness I know the conversation will be so long and I don't want to put him through that. She hasn't been answering her phone for months because she is "busy" or has no reception. which now I think is total bull. we will see! I will let you know. I will just think about my pretty cake and rings

thanks for letting me know people out there care

 

[Bickimook2]

Thats sucks about your friend, reminds me of the stuff I am going through with my bridal party. You just gotta stay positive and remember that in the end all that matters is the man you are marrying at the end of the aisle, that's what keeps me sane I love the ring by the way, I think I see a few hidden mickey's in there, though I could be wrong.

 

[shippedtosea]

Thanks dear. I still have yet to talk to her however DF has just started a new job and has been home ALL THE TIME. Which normally is a good thing but when I keep having to wait to make a call to solve problems its an issue.

Thanks hun! I think people really don't think before they act. I understand people get caught up in their lives, I just can't see myself ignoring someone. Guess people deal with life differently.

Thanks so much for you compliments on my ring. I am very excited about it. too bad it has to sit in a box for 9 months! hehhe

Thanks, that really helps! I never noticed the mickeys! DF started laughing when I showed him


I have also started school and been busy with that. I am down to working only 2 days a week so my wedding time is MUCH smaller! boo. I get taken out to dinner tonight to celebrate DF's promotion. I love how that works....he gets promoted I get dinner! hehe. So unfortunately I have been neglecting my PJ because I don't have anything to update! If I have any time today.....I will finally get to talk to the officiant and maybe get that settled. which will be good. I have been telling her i'd call her for weeks.

So I wish I had more to update but right now I don't. This Saturday I am allowed to print my cd stickers at work! yayayay. So I will have those. AND its the big Renegade craft fair this weekend so who knows I may find some jewelry and such! which I'm excited for. I'm at work all day so I may find some stuff to post later!

OH P.S. I just finished reading "The Time Travelers Wife" its really awesome book. I loved it. soo...you should read it too
