in Washington-Seattle
got a few things done this weekend.

first: Makeup trial
The makeup was beautiful but it wasn't dramatic enough for the big day. I want to feel extra beautiful and I just felt like it was every day makeup, something I could definitely do myself. I didn't realize that she only did airbrushing... I don't really like airbrush makeup that much because it isn't full enough coverage. Here is a picture of the trial:



Here's the makeup that I'd like to go for on the wedding day:




I had my bridal shower!!! I only have a couple pics of me and my mum and the quality is bad, i'll post pics when som eone shares with me. :)

We officially have our menu picked and our caterer paid off. :)

We officially have our entire honeymoon paid off too! :)


Oh.. and sad day... FI's family decided that they didn't want to rsvp.. we talked to his mom and uncle and they informed us that most of his family will not be attending our wedding... even those people who live in town. So I think right now he has like 20 people coming to the wedding altogether. He says it doesn't bug him but I think it does, I just feel so bad! I love him so much and just want him to be happy. He really wanted his grandma to be here but she has early onset alzheimers and can't travel... he is really sad about that. So, we're having a small wedding after all. Only about 60% of the people we invited are coming.

Things are coming together! I'm sooo stressed out.

AND: I think we are gonna make cheesecake 'suckers' for favors for the wedding. :)

    Wait, why aren't the locals coming?  I understand distance or illness, but absent that, what's up?<div>
    </div><div>Congrats on the shower, favors, and makeup decision!  I've been pondering airbrush makeup, but will be doing the usual instead of airbrush b/c my artist (a friend) doesn't do airbrush.</div>

    I agree with your assessment on the makeup trial, it doesn't even look as good as when you do your make-up yourself. I really like the look of the second picture (where you're in a car).

    What is wrong with your FI's family?! Even the ones in town?

    Sorry for you and FI, his family sucks.  They should be grateful to have each other and get over whatever issues they have and be there for FI on this special, once in a lifetime day. 

    I worry for FI that he will end up w/ very few guests also, but that's b/c they all live on east coast and cannot afford to come, and obviously b/c neither of his parents will be there.  But, a lot of them say they will make it.  We'll see.

    Jennuinne- his family is from Louisiana and all said they were coming.. and now, a month before, they can't make it. darn!

    KST- I totally didn't think the trial was as good as I can do myself! So glad some one else said that! I'm not sure what is wrong with his family but it is just really sad.

    I feel for your FI. At least his brother will be there, right?
    And yes, I still think of you as a make-up goddess just doing it yourself!
