good hug'n'waddle first dance song?

Sarah McLachlan Ice Cream Lyrics

Your love is better than ice cream
Better than anything else that I've tried
And your love is better than ice cream
Everyone here know how to fight

And it's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down to the place
Where we started from

Your love is better than chocolate
Better than anything else that I've tried
Oh love is better than chocolate
Everyone here knows how to cry

It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down to the place
Where we started from...

Songwriters: Mclachlan, Sarah

DREW veil

There's a veil out there that probably costs WAY more than I'd be willing to pay for it, but minus the crystals is EXACTLY what I want. It even has the same name as my dress!

Will someone please buy me this veil in ivory without the bedazzling?

PS- Just incase you're concerned about the dress; I'm super curvy and I'll also be modifying the dress so that it's more late 50s party dress and less, um, exoskeleton than it appears on the runway waif.

new-ish eyeballs

I got new glasses about a month ago. They're SO much less frumpy than my old ones. I'm sad that there aren't more photos of brides with glasses out there. What do most 4-eyed women do??? My mom went without her glasses at her wedding because she was worried about glare in her photos, but at that point she only wore them for reading.

Here are my glasses, but I'm not entirely sure they have anti glare coating. I'm not even sure the prescription is correct! I saw a new eye doctor and there was a lot of "uh, they look the same" on my eye exam and I'm pretty sure he just gave me the lesser prescription. Oh well, I should go back, but I'm lazy and nannying doesn't require 20/20 vision. At least I found metal frames with magnetic clip-on sunglasses lenses that are covered by my insurance.

FYI, incase you didn't check your calendars

the wedding IS Columbus Day weekend. If you're willing to travel on Saturday, you can get to Boulder from (almost) anywhere in the lower 48 and back, without missing any work to come to our wedding.

dear lurkers

thank you for reading my wedding blog. I hope that you've learned more about me by reading it, and that now that I've met a few of you in person you will feel more comfortable leaving comments. Don't worry if you don't think it's appropriate, invasive, improper, etc. I'll delete anything I deem as such and email you in response if I have one. Your comments aren't carved in stone (unless you want them to be, in which case what is a luddite like yourself doing reading a blog anyway?).

thank you presents

I bought these mugs today for MiMi and Sara as thank you presents for hosting my bridal shower. I tried to make them cute, double sided aprons (black with white polka dots on one side and black/white/yellow/pink tulips on the other, with pink edging), but my sewing machine didn't want to cooperate with me and kept getting getting thread goobers on the back side of the fabric.

Anyway, I hope they like these mugs. I think they're really cool, and Amazon gave them a great rating for the lid not leaking and being microwavable and double walled, though I can't find it again :-/, I swear it WAS there. Oh well, hooray for reusable mugs that look like styrofoam take-out! I think they're adorable.
