Welcome!

We have a new addition to the wedding fun!  What is it???? A new color.  Meet the new and improved color scheme:

This green might technically be a bit brighter than our actual green

The lovely peacock and the new addition of eggplant

And, of course, a chocolate brown

Why the late-comer of eggplant?  Because Darci is so high maintenance.  :)  Not really.  But, we all did pick bridesmaid dresses on Sunday.  Woo-hoo!!!  Even better, I think both Kristy and Darci are happy with their selections.  We're not going for the standard everybody matches kind of wedding....primarily because people are different.  So, everybody gets a different dress.  Check 'em out:

 We really do swear we'll blog about life - and wedding stuff - again soon.  Hope this tides you over in the meantime, though.  :)

Oh so indecisive

I may be, perhaps, one of the most indecisive people ever.  It's not really because I don't like to make choices (unless it pertains to picking a restaurant...then I don't want to choose), but it's really more about a fear of picking the wrong thing and not being happy with my decision.  In this particular case, with regard to dresses specifically, it's about loving soooo many things that I find!  For example, in a prior post, Kristy and Darci were awesome and tried on bridesmaid dresses one Saturday morning.  After several being tried on, they both found one they liked.  Well, given the fact that we still have eight months until the wedding, that gives me plenty of time to look at other things.  So - the other day it was looking for really great deals on dresses.  I found a few - one of which includes this really awesome multi-way dress from Victoria's Secret that I think could get a lot of use out of it.  See, as it gets closer and closer to making real and legitimate decisions about things - I find it harder and harder to justify the people in our wedding spending gobs of money on something they'll never wear again.  I think that's what makes this exactly what a wedding should be about - getting married that day.  Because that's exactly what my concern is - it's not whether Kristy and Darci want to wear the same dress, or if our dad's wear black dress pants because that's what they already own instead of brown dress pants because they match, or whatever.  It's about marrying Crissy.

And, now I've completely digressed from my original point (which was much more meaningless than what I ended up writing, but still....).  So, in the midst of looking at all things wedding, I've begun to not only find other bridesmaid dresses that I like - but also started to wonder about Kristy and Darci wearing a peacock colored dress.  You know, to add a little color to the outdoors.  I mean, we will be surrounded by green and brown with the grass, trees, leaves, etc....why not spice it up a little?!?!  (just for the record, Crissy's vote - I think - is still for brown dresses).  Here are a few new ones I've found:

This is just the peacock color of the first dress shown here in brown

Oh, and don't worry - the indecisiveness doesn't only apply to bridesmaid dresses...it's completely impacted wedding dresses too.  Check out these two that I really like today:

This one has pockets (a definite fun bonus!) and I could add some bling to the belt to jazz it up a bit - and I could still wear some huge, funky necklace which is very me...

 

You'll have to imagine this one in all white - I LOVE the ruffles!

These are funny looking

While looking at David's Bridal's site tonight, I wanted to see some of their "separate" options for bridesmaids.  Well, little did I know that going that route would take me to this whole wizard like thing that would allow me to create all kinds of options for the wedding party.  So, I'm posting them just because they're kind of funny.  There are really limited options for hair styles and colors....which makes all of us look not quite like ourselves.  So, here are the more "cartoon" versions of Kristy, myself, Crissy and Darci.

I decided to cut my hair for this one - and wear it wavy.  haha...

The funny thing is, though, that only "Kristy's" outfit in the first picture is comprised of "separates."  And, seeing the pics David's has on their separates page before beginning the process makes me really wish people were wearing black and white - they're so pretty!  Though, honestly - I think I just want Kristy and Darci to wear dresses that they like, feel good in, and ideally could be worn again.  So, if that's the long brown one tried on in October and posted here ("We have a winner!"), then so be it.  Ladies - we're just glad you're a part of our day.  :)
