I went shopping on disneyshopping.com last night and I bought t-shirts for DF and I to wear on our Disneymoon.
They are both white and have matching designs on them. They haven't arrived yet, but here is the design:
Oooh and a few weeks ago I also got hair pins to wear on the BIG DAY! I'll still wear the tiara, I'm just adding a few red silk hydrangea flowers in the back. They are sooo pretty. The red matches the red on my dress pretty well and each flower has a little red pearl in the middle. They are not really quite as red as they appear in this picture, but I had to fiddle with the color to get them to show up on the black background.
In other news, I've decided to wear my pearl strand necklace, pearl & diamond drop earrings, and ruby & diamond bracelet for the wedding.
They have all been gifts from DF over the past few years and it will mean a lot to him if I wear something he picked out for me. I am having trouble with the pearl necklace because it is a little too long. I want it to be a choker length and it is about two inches longer and I don't like the way it looks with my dress. So when I went to the jewelry store where Tim bought all of the pieces, the snobby women (has anyone else experienced the attitudes on people in jewelry stores? They are nice as pie to DF, but I've never had a friendly one, EVER!) there informed me that I have two options. The first is to have the whole thing restrung, which will cost $125+.
That is way more than I want to spend. The other choice is to take the hook closure and hook it between two pearls. The lady at the store proceeded to bend the hook closed to demonstrate how I could do it on our wedding day (without asking me) and now it is all crooked.
The problem with this option is that the other part of the clasp will hang down. My hair will be up, so you will see it. I don't know if I care that much, but they were making it sound like a really big deal at the store. Do you all think it matters that much? Here's a picture of the clasp to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about:
Oh, and the jewelry saga is not over yet. I also took the pocketwatch I bought DF as a wedding gift to have it engraved. (I wanted it to say "Until our hands grow old", which is a line from a song that is special to us.) Here's a pic to remind everyone what it looks like:
There is also the same design in reverse on the back. I took it to Things Engraved and they would not engrave it because I wanted it done inside the cover. So, I took it with me to the jewelry store when I went to talk about the pearls. They acted like I was a total idiot and that it cannot be engraved inside. There is a faint swirl design inside the cover and they told me that you won't be able to see the words, that it will look totally different, it might show through on the front and that they wouldn't take it in to be engraved. They suggested going somewhere that does engraving on site but said it probably can't be done since Things Engraved couldn't do it. So now I don't know what to do. The engraving was the most important part to me, more than whether it's a certain Disney watch or not. I wish I had known this before I bought this watch.
