2 Weeks Of Wedding

I've got a break away with time enough to write a blog right now. Don't know how far I'll get. It's been two Weeks of Wedding for me. I Went to BC for Kathryns Wedding, And I had so much fun. It was great to meet all of Kathryns friends out there, and I felt like I got along with the other brides maids very well.

Kathryns Brides Maid Sarah and her Husband are moving out this way, I'm sure I'll be seeing them more. By The way, If anyone knows of a place thats up for rent near to Humber collage, Or along the GO train route... Let me know. They need a place to live.

Then when I came back Drew was there to pick me up at the Airport. He took me out to a late dinner Then it was straight t work the next day. There would be an Ontario reception to be held for all the familly and fiends in Ontario on the coming weekend

My childhood best friend being married off reminded me how close our own wedding will be and I decided to check out one of our local bridal stores for inspiration.

Now in this Store, there is a Dress I fell in love with as far back as February. But It was extreamly out of budget. I decided I should use it as inspiration for elements I may find in other dresses when it came time to order. Then In August, When I went in to pick up my brides maid dress, The price on the wedding gown had made an amazing drop. It was SO CLOSE to budget, but for the alterations and cleaning, It was still over, And I was broke. So I couldn't get it. It ached to leave it behind then, Cause I wasn't sure it would be there when I came back next with thoose prices. I worried I would regret leaving the dress behind

But now, Here I am walking into the store looking for inspiration, Finding all the sales clerks running around like crazy preparing the store for a midnight maddness sale. I walked into the store... headed straight for where I rememberd my Favourite dress was. It wasn't marked down from it's August price.

I asked a nice sales lady to tell me if this dress would be any further reduced. She said they were reducing it to $250 dollars... I knew right then I was getting it no matter what, But I kept a poker face about the whole thing. Remebering my mother always telling me to bargain, even if I think I can't get it any better, cause you never really know what you can get. until you ask.

I calmly told the lady I would pay $200 for it... and she Agreed. YAY. Well I wasn't expecting to get my dress yet. So my Budget is a little tighter theese next couple weeks than expected right now. But I Have my Dress and I got an amazing deal

Then this Past weekend, On Saturday I went to Chris and Kathryns Ontario Reception. Jason and Kat were there. And I got to introduce Drew to Mrs. Stanger. A long overdue introduction.

Sunday I went to a Bridal show in Hamilton with Jen and Adam....

Now I am all wedding'd out. I have to take a break from all things wedding for a little while.

But now, I'm more excited than ever, to get this wedding off the ground. This has truly been two weeks of constant inspiration.

Adam and I have expanded our ceremony location search to include outdoor locations. Most placed are booked all the way up to the weekend we are planning, so I don't think we have as much time as you think.
