I’m too excited to sleeeeeeep

Only one more sleep until the legendary (it hasn’t even happened yet and it’s already legendary) trip to Seattle.
All day I’ve been hearing the voice of this funny little guy playing over and over in my head:

Although I’m ecstatic to be going, the timing couldn’t be worse in terms of work; we have a huge [...]

The dress search goes on… the road

(Thanks to everyone for their advice regarding the dream Loub shoes. I have decided to order the half-size larger and am just awaiting a response from an American based friend-and-hopefully-co-conspirator (shipping/customs/taxes are ridiculously unfair for us Canucks) before I make the click and they are mine!)
———————————–
Remember when I was all depressed a couple weeks ago [...]

I’ve found the dream shoes… almost. Help!!

Oh my Lord. My heart is racing and my palms are sweaty and I think I might be hyperventilating.
Because of this:

My book club friend Sam–to be herewith forever known as Samantha, Patron Saint of the Heavenly Shoes (God bless her soul!)–just sent me a link to these shoes at Net-a-Porter.
And when I saw them, [...]

Why is a wedding ring worn on the fourth finger?

This is quite sweet… once you get over the initial shock of the creepy voice-over. (There–you have been warned!)

(Thanks to my fellow office bride, K!)

I must see Margot at the Wedding

I just saw movie trailer for Margot at the Wedding on Xbox Live. What, you didn’t know you could do that? You must not have a fiance that’s totally obsessed with his Xbox.
Anyway, not to worry. You watch it here.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this movie before. I mean, it’s Nicole Kidman. And [...]

One hundred push-ups for a slammin’ bridal bod

At my workplace there’s another girl who’s getting married just a month before me and so we spend lots of time hovering around each other’s cubicles, swapping ideas (and causing much eye-rolling among our neighbours, both male and female).
Today she told me she started this little fitness program that I had sent her a link [...]

Know thyself

I have an epic post that I’m working on, all about Groomsman Attire at Destination Wedding and How It’s Even More of a Pain-in-the-Butt than Normal Weddings (yes, all capital letters… that’s how epic it is… crap, I shouldn’t be talking about it since I’m raising expectations by doing so… D’oh!) but I keep getting [...]

Just collecting my thoughts

Gosh darn you, Canada Day Long Weekend!!!
Who am I kidding? I love Canada. And long weekends. I mean, who doesn’t?
But being away from the computer for four days means I have temporarily forgotten how to type. Well, not really. But my brain has sort of gone mushy. And I am having flashbacks of my university [...]

Saying ‘I Do’ when your wallet says ‘I Don’t’

Today I read that apparently we North Americans aren’t the only ones feeling the pressure of the high costs of throwing a wedding:
A Saudi Arabian charity is spending millions of dollars helping people get married in mass ceremonies because inflation has put wedding costs beyond the reach of many would-be couples in the oil-rich kingdom [...]

The search for purple bridesmaid dresses is back on… online, that is

I found out last night that the shopping trip to Seattle that I’d been planning with my maid of honour and sister-in-law (as in my brother’s wife, not the maid SIL), is not going to happen. Sadly, PepperPot can’t get out of a work shift. That means no shopping for bridesmaid dresses together, which [...]
