Let Them Eat Cupcakes

Wow can't believe it's been so long since I've written. Things are going a lot smoother now that most of the big stuff has been sorted out. We went taste testing for cupcakes the other day and walked away with 5 different flavours of cupcakes plus a vanilla cake to have for the actual cake cutting. I think that is going to be my favourite part of the night. I'm beginning to think maybe I should order a couple more just for fiance and I to have later.

We also got a lot of little things crossed off like the DJ (my maid of honour's wonderful uncle will be helping), guest book, and the bridesmaid's dresses. We're currently working on decorators next which is interesting. It seems like they are few and far between and some of the better ones are already either booked that day or won't call me back. Oh well we're meeting one more this weekend and we'll see what happens.

The other interesting thing happening this weekend is the meeting of the parents. This is the first time my parents will have met fiance's parents (well since elementary school anyways). Mom and future father in law did go to school together but it's been a few years since grade 6. Still should be fun.

I'm also trying to get a draft of the invitations going. I had everything ready to print out for the first time last night only my margins were giving issues and I had to go back and fix that. I'm hoping I've got everything correct now. We still haven't set a size yet either because I've heard rumors that a 6x6 invitation maybe more to mail than a 5x7 so looks like we'll try both out to see what Canada Post says. I'm curious to see what the difference is, not only cost but looks as well.

Some Day My Dress Will Come

So on Monday mom and I went out to another dress store this time run out of a ladies garage. Now I know that it sounds funny but let me tell you this lady had amazing options for dresses and the prices were outstanding. Best of all though is I THINK I FOUND THE ONE! I'm trying to figure out a way to show people the dress online without fiance seeing it. But I'm very happy and it works really really well with the tartan. Mom said too when I tried it on and put crinoline underneath it looked like I went from a size 10 to a size 4. That comment alone sealed the deal. But I'm going back on Sunday to try it on again and then hopefully I will be able to bring it home and it will be mine!

Also got together with the girls on Wednesday and had a really good talk about dresses, events and the day of the wedding. I'm very happy that the girls are now on board with the thought of long skirts as they really do look pretty on all of them. We're going to have the MOH in all red and the bridesmaids are going to be all black. I think this will really look sharp in photos so I'm looking forward to that. Just have to get the dress down to the tailors now to get a quote and then pick up fabric. Looks like things are progressing along nicely!
