I appear to be on the verge of negotiating the contract for the ceremony/reception hall AND I found a dress, all in the same day. I've had a photographer looming for a couple of weeks, pending reception contract, and hopefully she's still available.
My sedate Saturday afternoon garden wedding with the plain dress and no photographer is now a Friday night dessert and dancing shindig with photographer and a dress that I have seen numerous versions of online and said "oh, please". Poet sleeves, people - and yet, bare shoulders. The anti-Lyn dress. It ought to be a travesty, but I tried it on while trying to figure out sizes and...ah. Sparkles, too.
In the "learn from my mistakes" department: for the love of all that is holy, shave your pits before going to the dress store. Also, wear nice underwear. That poor woman earned her commission, I tell you.
This means that the tenative date is now Friday April 16.
Hooray!
Um, not that your plans have changed, but that you have a date. :)
(if you have time e-mail me a pic of your dress, I'd love to see it!)
