So at this point in the wedding planning process, we find ourselves saving our pennies for our venue. Our way over budget but killer venue. Make no mistake--we can handle it, and really, the Boulevard Brewery in KC is perfect (with lots of extras like tables, chairs, audio/visual equipment that make it worth the extra cash). But that means a lot of other wedding planning details have to be pushed back until our budget recovers from the temporary strain...
Hence, late at night I find myself thinking of stuff to plan that is--free. Ceremony planning, color palate brainstorming, research, research, research, and beginning to (manually) price the cost of making cupcakes vs. a cake (which, for some ungodly reason, I've become determined to DIY).
But something magic has happened!
My fabulous Maid-of-Honor, Ariel Petersen heard about a bridal store in Hamilton that was going out of business a couple weeks ago. Due to her crazy (some might say, truly heroic) school schedule, we were only able to finangle the two-hour round-trip on the last day the store was open. Gazing over the racks of taffeta and toule, I figured we'd get Ariel in some bridesmaids dresses (just to get a good idea for cuts and styles), look at some super-cheap accessories and I would try on anything that I even remotely liked from their meager wedding dress selection.
Ladies and Gentlemen, hours later--I HAD A WEDDING DRESS.
Not only that, but after struggling between two dresses for almost an hour, breaking for lunch and coming back... I had a very cheap wedding dress. I certainly didn't plan on buying anything! But let me tell you--this dress is just like Dennis... "the one"!!!!! Who's excited?!
More later,
