Part One: The fitting took all of 10 minutes. I put the dress on, it fit perfectly down to the hem, and the only thing I need the seamstress to do is put in the single-loop overbustle. At the cost of a whopping $10. Woot!
Part Two: We *finallly* booked the honeymoon. I sat Jason down with the laptop and his credit card and made him look at travel web sites. We decided on Hotwire.com, and we got our airfare (round-trip out of Austin), a rental car for five days, and five nights in the W Hotel New Orleans for a whopping $1100. We made out like bandits. More money to spend on the jazz brunch at Court of Two Sisters and the Creole Queen jazz dinner cruise. Boo-yah!
Yay! I would tell you how much it's costing to alter my dress and add an under bustle, etc, but you would laugh.

We're considering a NOLA honeymoon too - I want to spend money on furniture when we get back, so I squashed the too expensive cruise idea. Good to know about the Hotwire specials - we'll have to look in to those!

We enjoyed a NOLA honeymoon. It was a wonderful, relaxing time. Good choice.

Uh, hi. Random, ancient comment from a complete stranger here, but did you have an opinion on the Creole Queen?
We're thinking of having our wedding on it, but because I am a screw up we failed to visit it (we went on Steamboat Natchez, but didn't have dinner, and it's really too small for our needs).
Any comments you have would be tremendously appreciated.
