ties!

The dudes are going to need ties, and when they do: bam. Green ties abound.

more purchases

I spent $25 on 480 feet of white Christmas lights. Actually I used a Wal-Mart gift card I received for Christmas. So... I think it's safe to say that the probably 20 x 60 foot tent that we're probably going to rent is probably going to be sufficiently lit.

I also bought ribbon, and safety pins for decorating purposes and attaching the pins to the back of the bouttonieres because they're made of wood and corsage pins are a bitch anyway.

hair

Speaking of my hair, this is how I want it to look. Long, with big, loose curls; one side clipped back with the aforementioned flower.

That's right, it's Mandy Moore in A Walk to Remember. I've known for awhile that's how I want my hair to look, and then I saw this movie on TBS today and was like "YES! That is my wedding hair."

purchases

I bought my wedding ring today. I realize I didn't need to do so this early, but I didn't want it to go out of stock again. Besides, it was 30% off AND expedited shipping was free. Win.

I made some other wedding purchases last night, too. I bought this flower clip for my hair:

...and something secret for my maids of honor and personal attendant. All the money I got for Christmas went in the wedding fund and is already getting put to good use. Go me!

printing

Another option for printing.

And another.

Excellent.

vacation

Okay, so it's not likely that we'll be able to afford a honeymoon ourselves, but I'm looking at places just in case. Because even if we don't get a honeymoon right away, we'll go on vacations in the future.

Perhaps to this lovely resort in Riviere Nayarit, Mexico. Although August is part of the rainy season. Hmph.

Maybe we could rent an apartment in Puerto Rico.

Maybe Amsterdam.

Or London.

Hmm.

Tie & vest set for Darren? Convenient. Zazzy. Inexpensive. Maybe he'll want black. Either way- nice.
