wow- where do I begin. this weekend I feel like we accomplished so much.
On Friday, we opened our joint checking/savings account and visited the limo company we
thought we were going with. it turns out we need a bigger limo that we thought, and I am NOT into the SUV models, so we have to check out another place for the 14 passenger stretch. that's fine b/c at least we know.
on Sunday, fh and I went to Woodbury Commons to buy his wedding attire. he decided that he'd rather buy/wear a really good suit instead of a tux. we saw some gorgeous suits (at AMAZING prices) at D &G, Valentin, Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, and Barney's New York. He ended up purchasing a beautiful Hugo Boss 3 button black suit from Barney's (the didn't have it at the company store) and the PERFECT shade of off-white shirt (it matches my dress perfectly!!!) and a silver tie at Emporio Armani. He spent about $550- which is a drop in the bucket compared to my dress, and he will DEFINITELY get more use out of it.
He's so cute- he refused to try the whole get up on in front of me so I will be surprised.
then yesterday he went alone to Macy's to purchase a new cologne (that I won't smell til our wedding day
![]()
) and he also found FANTASTIC groomsman's gifts. He got a Nautica grooming kit in a beautiful wooden box for
$8.50 and a cool Calvin Klein shoe cleaning kit for about
$11.00 we are also going to give them money towards purchasing new black suits for the wedding (if we can't rent them)
as for me....I
found my shoes!! I went to Via Spiga at Woodbury and found the perfect color shoes (satiny and just a touch darker than my dress) for
$43!!!! they even gave me comfort insoles for
FREE! I already started wearing them around the house and I love them!

also, I found my bridesmaids jewelry- a total fluke, at Filene's Basement on 18th & 6th. I bought them each a bracelet, necklace, and earrings from Carolee. they are all pearls with silver balls....and were
$45 for ALL THREE in TOTAL!!! then I found necklace and earring sets for my 3 flower girls.
all in all a VERY productive (and COST EFFICIENT
