Fashionisto

If most of you didn't realize just how fashion-forward Jeff is, get this, we are custom creating his clothes at a tailor. He's getting a bow-tie, vest, and pair of slacks. The custom tailoring is to ensure the fact that the clothes will fit exactly how the man wants, which is a super slim fit. The inspiration came from a suit from Jcrew. Surprisingly the custom tailoring will be just as cost-effective as if we were buying his clothes ready-to-wear, the cost of labor+materials is comparable.

Acoustic

Jeff and I have decided to hire a acoustic guitarist for our ceremony. Although I will probably not be able to hear/focus on what is going around me at the time of our wedding ceremony, it would be nice to have a soundtrack. So far we've gathered just a few must-have songs.

"Close To You," by the Carpenters is one of my favorites. I have an old soul when it comes to music, and I manage to muster up the courage to sing this to Jeff whenever Karaoke is in the mix.

Me + Dad / Jeff + FMIL = Journey's "Faithfully"

I will not dance to "Butterfly Kisses," I always thought I'd do the Father/Daughter dance to Luther Vandross' "Dance with my Father," but its actually really really sad, and its so intense that I will probably cry. I've been on a search for a good song to accommodate both a Father/Daughter & Mother/Son and I've been scouring old power ballads for the perfect song, we are so NOT conventional. Luckily we all love Journey and "Faithfully" is not too romantic.

The DRESS has come

So on Xmas eve I received an email with the final shots of my wedding dress. It was prefect so I approved it and it was shipped shortly after. Today my sister called to tell me she picked it up from the post office.

So its official! Its at my parents house!

I won't post the actual photo comp because Jeff would rather just see it on myself on our big day. But here is the link for the rest of you: MY DRESS!!!

Less than six months to go, and counting...
