We're having E.Pics done (again) by our photographer on 10/16 in Central Park - so excited!

I picked out my fabrics on Friday Night and the lace is absolutely gorgeous and the dupioni silk was stunning. Combined, PERFECT!

We did our registry at BB&B yesterday - almost killed the woman that we were working with. She wouldn't leave us a lone and let us pick the stuff we wanted, and kept suggesting things we would never have a use for - like windex??? Who puts that on their registry? FI was so good - stood up and asked her to back off and leave us alone. My hero! LOL

Tonight we're picking our granite for our bathroom and kitchen in our new place so now we'll know what we can coordinate.

Just drop the windex in the wishing well

Yes, Granite - I think we're going to be gearing towards a speckled black and silver, and go with a stainless steel and black accessories, and I think for the cabinets we'll get a mahagony color. We'll see!

Pinina was freaking out when I went on friday b/c she had to go to 5 stores to find the perfect lace. She ended up buying all the lace instead of a sample, and was so worried that I wouldn't like it and she bought all the lace and didn't know what should would do with it....but, the lace was better than perfect and she was so relieved!

Correction: My first fitting will be 11/22, not actually done. How long after the first fitting will it take care to complete the dress?

..wishing well, haha

Oooh, speckled black/silver & stainless steel and mahagony sounds great together! (I love knowing what you'll choose because I once built a house, & chose a brown/mahogany granite, it was very nice.) But I don't live at this house anymore. Life changes...

Pinina is silly crazy..hilarious!!! OK. It took her about 3 weeks from fabric to first fitting, 4 weeks the most!!!!!!

Sorry...then 1 more month from 1st fitting to final dress, but only because I added lace to the bodice at the last minute.
