Updates...


So I called a few places today for information. We are considering renting a limo for the day of the wedding, and after I got some information we decided that we still had to think about it for a while. It is extremely expensive! At the same time, we need to book asap, because there isn't much left in the way of vehicles for our wedding day.

I also finally got in touch with a store that I found in London that sells and rents centrepieces and decor. I had found a place that rented some things, but their quality wasn't the best, and there was no option to buy. This place has things for sale or rent, so we can buy the cheaper items (like centrepieces) and rent the large items that we don't want to own or give away.

Also, I'm finally getting all my bridesmaids together for dress selection and ordering on November 10th. I'm really looking forward to it because it's the first real wedding event. I mean, I've bought my dress and we've had our engagement photos taken, but this involves people from the wedding party, so it's very exciting. We'll order the dresses, and then go back to my parents' house for lunch. It's the first time that Nancy will be meeting anyone, so that's very exciting for me!

Finally, we are working on selecting the photos that we want to have professionally edited by the photographer. We are excited to see how they will turn out, and we'll post one or two on here when they are done.

"The Wedding Dress" - poem by Marcia Cook

Everywhere is white perfection

amid shattered expectations

as women step into bridal shoppes.


A different language floats through the air:

full A-line tulle and lace sweetheart,

learning together, strangers become friends.


One by one, elimination begins as

women plunge head-first into love

lost in fabrics that silence the world.


A swish of tufts and rough hot beads

uncomfortable, heavy. Beautiful.

Princesses emerge from blue-grey curtains


One dress sends shivers, a fluttery feeling.

Fate steps in with goosebumps and butterflies

women beam and giggle with sweaty palms.


This is the one. Laughter becomes tears.

enveloped in their new-found loves, women

smile in the mirror with anticipation.

Stag and Doe Announcement!

Hey everyone!

We have finally found a place and booked a date for our Stag and Doe. It will be held on

Saturday, March 29 2008

in London at a place called Connolly Hall (on First Street).

More details to follow, including time, cost, etc. But we can tell you now that my dad's band "Scenario" will be playing a few songs and there will also be dj music for dancing. We will have FANTABULOUS prizes and lots of booze and food, and promise that it will be the party of the year...

...well, besides the wedding of course!
;)
Cheers!
