Re: ~ November Is Our Month ~

Good day today (and yesterday)!

Invites went out on the 25th and the responses are slowly rolling in (about 1 or 2 a day).

Went to Barrons yesterday and picked out my headpiece and veil - pick them up on the 19th.

Today FH and all (but one) of the groomsmen went to NJ to be fitted for and reserve their kilts -this was a HUGE cause of stress for me! SO glad it's finally done.

My mum and I went to pick out my cake; I just have to call the caterer on Monday and tell him what I want.

And, I GOT THE CALL!!! My gown is in - whoo hoo! So now I have to get my butt to Blums to get my undergarment(s) (psst - girdle )

So exciting!

I actually got an underbust corset. I didn't want anything rolling down causing lines, the top to show under my dress and I'm not wearing a bra to hold Spanx up. It's my something blue!

Re: ~ November Is Our Month ~

Hmmm. Interesting. It's very beautiful. I think I may need something a little longer - for my 'pooch'. It's my lower abdoment that sticks out (bleh).
