Busy few days....

I haven't been on the boards in the past few days because my family and FH's family were in visiting from Florida, so I thought i'd give an update.

I had my shower on Saturday. I got great stuff! I forgot how much fun lots of presents can be. I felt like a kid again.

I picked up my new e-ring setting from Elsa's (its so beautiful! I tried to take a pic of it to post, but it didn't come out very good.

I bought a goddess boustier, and it fits me great! I actually found it in my size right around the corner from my house after calling 5 stores to hunt it down. For any of you girls with shall we say, larger boobs, I suggest this brand. Great support and very comfortable.

Ordered my veil, a three tier veil, two elbow and one cathedral with rhinestone accents. Because of the whole fiasco with my dress, they gave me $100 of the veil, so I got a fancier one that I planned on getting.

Went for my fitting- yes my dress finally came in and its beautiful. It needs almost no alterations except to be taken in around the shoulders. I also decided to go with a french bustle- something for you girls to think about.

I also bought shoes. I got the most georgous (sp?)pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes that I have had my eye on for a while now, and do you believe it was their last pair and it happened to be in my size so I got them for $25! I can't even believe it. They cost over $200 everywhere else.

So, I have had a very productive few days. Now I just need to start making my invites and I will be almost stress free.

tara - am I jealous! I did NOTHING wedding related, and now that our plans have changed to have the ceremony at church, a lot of stuff has to be re-arranged! I don't even feel like making the necesary phone calls!

Sounds like you had a great weekend. Things are really starting to move aren't they? But get on those invites!!!

Great job getting all that done! Tara, where did you get your Stuart Weitzman shoes. I love all the shoes he makes and know how expensive they are. I wear a 5 1/2 shoe and usually I can get a bargain because often they are the only size left. Thanks.
