Underthings

I finally purchased my bustier over the weekend…well, my Mom did. She’s a true Godsend, I tell ya! It was very stressful trying on all those strapless bras and corsets. My skin was so red with all the twisting and pinching and turning. I am very pleased with the bustier I chose.  I’m not sure if this is the exact brand – Jezebel (stock photo) but it looks exactly like it and it was about $48.00 from Dillard’s.  It’s nude color b/c my dress is very thin and white would show through and my Spanx are nude too.

I have a football player’s upper body like this:

My bustier really nips me in at the waist allowing me to look more like this:

With that and my Spanx, Happiness ensues!

The Superbowl Hooked Me Up

Even though we were both for the Giants, my mister made sort-of a wager if they won the Superbowl.  It was in the third quarter and the score was close, you remember how tense of a game it was.  So, mister is on the edge of his seat and he’s so antsy and nervous.  He jumps up and shouts to me, “If the Giants win, I’ll buy you a $10,000 wedding ring.”

Um ok – what a weirdo right!  Now, I don’t expect him to keep his word as he/we cannot afford a $10k wedding band but it was still cute, no?  Still, I’m thinking that he’s gonna upgrade me pretty good.  He’s just so happy the Giants won.
I happen to love football and we both get a little depressed when football season is over.  So ladies, always remember to enjoy football with your man.  You never know what rewards you will reap!

Macy’s Wedding Event

Macy’s is having a little “thing”, this Saturday. I will attend and take pics and see what it is all about. I hope I win something.

Invitations Come Together

Some pics of the process – invites and RSVPs:

Here are my custom stamps from Zazzle. (FYI – they are selling like hotcakes!)

Fini

I did all my own calligraphy.  The invites were printed on glossy photo paper from home on our HP.  Of course, the envelopes and paper are from Papersource.com except for the gold belly band, which is from JoAnn’s.  All DIY, baby.  I’ve rec’d so many compliments.  I love how they all came together.

Less Than A Month To Go

27 days to be exact.  That’s all.  Just had to share the countdown.

China Redux

When picking out our fine china for the registry, I consulted the mister as he would have to look at the frou frou service for years, same as I. We really like the “Imperial Blossom” pattern from Mikasa.

But I also wanted to modernize the whole service look even more. So I registered for 2 pieces in the Imperial Blossom pattern and the other pieces in the “Cameo Platinum” design.

The plates, tea cups, sugar bowl, creamer and platter are the Cameo design and the soup bowls and saucers are the Imperial Blossom design. I really think mixing these pieces will look great.

Brides’ Quiz

There is a fun quiz over on Brides.com that is worth taking.  You can find out “what kind of bride you are”.

According to Brides.com, I am a glamour Bride.

Me thinks they are correct.  I guess I need to buy that fur stole I’ve been thinking about…

Gifts For My Girls

Here are the earrings I bought for my Bridesmaids:

Aren’t they so cute?  I bought them from etsy seller “trystbykerry“.  She has a beautiful website as well and I love all her jewelry.  She even made me a pair of these with a black rose.  What a great find.  Please go visit her shop.  You’ll love it.

So, along with the Kiehl’s French Rosewater and the lip balm (and luncheon of course), I think I’ve got them covered.

Best Bridal Shower EVER!

My lovely friends, Kelly (Matron of Honor) and Kim (House Party) along with the help of my beautiful mother, threw me the best Bridal Shower this past Saturday.  Everything was so gorgeous, especially the food!  I saw friends whom I hadn’t seen in years and got to know my future MIL even better.  I was overwhelmed by the generosity of my guests and I had a wonderful time.  Here are some highlights of the afternoon:

A Sneak Into My Boudoir

These are only supposed to be for my Mister’s eyes but everyone is doing boudoir pics and posting them so why not me? I love they way they turned out and I want to do more after I’m a Mrs. Here is a tiny tid-bit:

I love the pink “lens”. My face looks very round but the angle is what it is and my fat face is what it is!

I liked this one so much I used it for my company’s MySpace pic.

So much for his eyes only…
