My Great-Aunt and Uncle are what you'd call.... self, self-absorbed, blah blah blah. Today, my Gramma calls my G.U. to talk about some stuff regarding their mom. Convo then goes like this:
G.U.- So we got Kate's Save the Date. You'll be getting one from our side soon.
Gramma- Oh, are T and D finally tying the knot? (T and D have been together for like, 15 years, have 2 teenaged kids together, but never married.)
G.U.- No, G.A and I are having our 50th wedding anniversary. Our actual anniversary isn't until November, but with holidays, birthdays, weather, etc., etc., we thought it would be best do it in October.
Gramma- Oh, really? October what?
G.U.- The 13th.
ARGH. 2 weeks before my effing wedding, and they want to throw a big ole party?! I know, it's not the same as a wedding, and yes, they have the right to do whatever they want, but damnit. I'm pissed off.
Sooooooooooo.... I took pictures!!! All my pretty wedding stuffs. Trying to brighten my mood up!
The invites 
Except the ink was changed back to basic black.
Our favors With names, date, and 2 hearts in the middle.
Possible make-up, at least the basic idea... Simple, basic, natural...
The Veil ))
The hair
The shoes )))
Ok, so this is silly. Instead of buying a shawl or wrap to wear in case I get cold, I'm wearing this. It's the first hoodie I ever stole from FI. I plan on wearing this during the reception, if I get cold.
The jewelry ;-)
The hoopskirt for my dress
and finally, THE DRESS..... I love this dress. I feel like a victorian princess in it. LOVEEEEEE
And suddenly my stupid family can suck an egg. I'm so excited, and I do not care if they are selfish evil people.
Besides, MY save the dates went out before theirs, so NYAH!
Mom to D.A (11.09) and 3 beautiful angels (06.08, 03.11, 07.12)
