1st dress fitting!

It's official. The wedding is next month and I tried on everything for the first time yesterday. The jewelry, the shoes, oh the pink shoes, the veil from Occansey Designs, everything was perfect. I still have about 6 weeks to go so it's on at the gym! Because the dress has a corset back, I can still lose some more weight and not compromise the fit of the dress.

In other good news, Mike's cousin Jr. opened his eyes the other day. =) He now knows who's around him; before he was in a medically induced coma and on a respirator. He still needs the respirator because his heart isn't strong enough yet but we'll keep praying that he gets there.

I'm jumping back and forth here, but we also finally found a dress for my mom. Finally! She has an ivory 3 piece suit with gold embellishments on it. Very regal and classy. This weekend we're going to check out a dark brown suit for my father. Pops picked out a spiffy dark gray suit with white shirt and coral colored tie and hanky on Sunday at the men's store. The guys suits also came in and Mike tried his on with his ivory shirt. Looks rather good in it too if I must say so myself. The groomsman's shirts and brown.

Everything is coming together nicely. =)

My clutch arrived!

And it's perfect! Matches perfectly with my shoes. I'll have to post a pic soon. eBay has been my best friend so far.

On another note, I spoke to my photographer today and she only needed one more girl to sign up for the b-pic session for February. Well, I told my knottie girls and they all emailed her so we should have enough to make it a go. I just hope we can agree on a date that works for me.

I'll be back with pics.....On to stuff these boxes of invitations to be mailed tomorrow.

More shopping.....

I found the cutest hot pink and brown clutch (can you say in our wedding colors, perfect!) for the day of the wedding on eBay. The best part, it was only $4.48 with shipping! Hopefully it's really cute in person, but for the price I paid, who cares if I have to chuck it and start from scratch. You have to really look through all the listings because I was going to jump on the first one I saw and it was $10. I kept looking to see what else they had and found the same clutch a little cheaper. Works for me. Just added a picture of my shoes just to see how they look next to each other; I think they'll work!

Also, I got my wedding garters: toss and keepsake Philadelphia Eagles. Mike loves the Eagles so I think he'll love these. Oh, I bought them from eBay, for $12! I used a coupon they were offering to get the deal. Love deals! The seller is Kristi's Charmed Life. Her prices are amazing and she periodically runs specials such as free shipping. Check her out if you're looking for garters. And I got a free gift which is a keepsake silver toned garter; it can be worn on a key chain or just scrap booked as a reminder of your day. Nice touch from Kristi.
