a wedding list post!

finally set my wedding date for october 20th, 2012!  this is more of a reminder to myself of prices, things i need, things i like and all sorts of other stuff that i need to remember but if i write it on a piece of paper, i will lose it!  and it's here for everybody to see, so you can plan my wedding with me!

VENUE:
set and free!  my wedding will take place in my parent's huge back yard, so right after chris and i are all wed we will just turn around and party!  just don't upset the goat.  D:

DRESS:
still looking!  i want to stay under $200 for a dress, which i think may be pretty low, but i'm looking for a summer-y fall-y autumn-y type dress, cuz it will probably still be a little warm.  tea-length is the proper term.  here are my favorites so far:

$136.00
$94.00
$110.00
i'm leaning towards the bottom one, the only thing is i wanted a cute retro pillbox hat, and i don't know that i can find one to match since it has like a lace overlay thing going on.

i'm also worried about what size to get a dress, since i want to have it early (obviously!).  my goal size by my wedding was actually a sixteen, but i'm already down to eighteen and i have over a year to go!  so who knows!  if i keep going the way i have been, losing about 6 or 7 pounds a month, i could lose another 90 or so pounds!!!  i guess i'll just have to wait!

NAPKINS:

we didn't want to waste money on fancy dining ware, but chris and i were thinking of doing the monogram napkin thing.  we'd have regular ones too, maybe just a hundred or so mainly as souvenirs.  just something sort of cutesy, but they are WAY more expensive then i thought they would be.  i mean, some people are gonna keep them, but a lot of people are going to wipe their faces with them and throw them away.

*sigh*

the leaf ones are obviously more theme appropriate for a fall wedding, but they're soooooo boring.  i like the mr. and mrs. ones, though.  :3

more to come soon!

peace.
