Day... oh who knows! - The day Meg breaks her nose.
No I didn't really break it - I think. I was lying on the bed and my 55 lb boxer/pit bull dog Boo jumped on the bed landing on my nose. Blood went everywhere, but Rob swears it's not broken, but man does it hurt! I think it's just bruised. But ouch!
Here's a picture of the guilty party.
I can't get mad at him - his name is Boo and he's a shelter dog. He has no nerves whatsoever. Loud noises scare him, so saying NO loudly would make him really scared and he would cower. But just to put blame where it is deserved. If I have a poofy nose for this wedding it's his fault!
It's been a very busy week wedding preparation wise. Unfortunately Rob's been sick
. We don't exactly know why, but we're going to Massachusetts to see a specialist this week. But I've been at home with him with alot of time on my hands.. hehehe... so here's what I've been up to!
As I talked about on the boards, I decided to try to order my dress from China directly. I found the one I wanted from Alfred Angelo and o'course it was over 800! On Ebay it was 50. The exact same dress. I've sent all my measurements in, and the gentleman I've been speaking to has been very helpful. I'll post when I get it. But here it is. Originally I was going to go navy, but I changed navy to my accent color and yellow to my primary color.
Jen, my step-sister and MOH has taken on the task of finding a proper dress for her and my 11 year old niece to wear. Here's what we decided on for the dress. It's also Alfred Angelo, but the Jr. Bridesmaid version is a bit more modest, i.e. higher neckline, hem below the knee etc. (I know I've been on my soapbox about this before) So here it is. It's very simple, but that's how she is. She really wanted my dress to be the main attraction. Jen's just happy it's in yellow - her fav. color!
And Rob, while sick, worked with me on the tuxes. Here you go!
And a DISBride had a bouquet idea that she's graciously allowing me to steal from her wedding - thanks Tiffani!
We're going to do something similar to this, only with yellow roses. I love hydrangeas!!
And also this week, I took the advice of Ashley (of the Ashley and Clint planning journal
) and asked those artisans on the Creative DIS board for a design for a shirt. A very kind DIS'er made this for us:
Oddly enough, she captured exactly how I look when I wake up!
I've also contacted Rev. Jack and Rev. Randal to try to get one of them set up for the shindig. Neither have replied.
I've also been a busy bee shopping. Check out the newest additions to the Meg Stash of Wedding Stuff:
