How is/was your Saturday?

It's the same one I posted a week or so ago. The one I tried on was a few sizes too big, but I still really love it.

Bree. You're freaking adorable. F'real.

Dresses? DRESSES? I got married once. THREE FREAKING YEARS AGO. In a bar. Don't judge. Well...on the beach at a bar. WHATEVER, OK!?

crfische

Aw, PANTHER! You look great!!!

musicalsunlight

Panther I love it! You are darn pretty, my friend.

FISHY I have totally FB stalked your wedding pictures. And loved them. Your wedding seemed like so much fun

this was taken last summer before I decided on this dress.

Bree, love the dress!

musicalsunlight

Ohh the skirt & sash on the dress are so lovely, ggirl! I love the flow of the dress, so light and pretty.

ggirl2001

Bree and Panther love it!

Fishy I'm getting married on the beach, right by a bar. I plan to be at the bar soon after the ceremony.

crfische

AWWW!! GG! I love it!!!

And they are PALOMINO, OK?!

I love khaki and white. I always have since I was a wee one. So yeah. Khaki and white it was. I promise, it was the most. fun. day/night EVER. In the history of ever.

musicalsunlight

Hey also, um, Fishy? I hope this doesn't sound weird, but you are totally the most naturally photogenic people I've ever met. You don't take a bad photo, it is impossible!

pantherRN

Ok girls, our friends are here. I'll be back a little later!

musicalsunlight

Have fun panther!

crfische

Oh not true. I take a bad picture. SWEAR.

ggirl2001

Fishy I love the bridal party picture! It looks like so much fun!

crfische

GG -- I was at the bar before, during and after my wedding. No shame.

Sorry dudes. It my anniversary week, so I'm all nostalgic. I hate sharing wedding pictures, but LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUN.

musicalsunlight

I don't believe youuuuuuuu Fishy. BTW kind of a random question, did you ever have braces? Because if not, you have ridiculously lovely teeth. (I AM SUCH A CREEP)

crfische

Grrrrr.... I DID have braces. But, my teeth were always straight. My upper jaw wasn't big enough, so I had to have a jaw widener thingy to make my upper jaw bigger, which pushed my teeth apart, and then they had to put braces on to fix what the widener did.

But, I've always had pretty straight teeth.

musicalsunlight

I don't have a dress to AW so can I AW my ceremony/reception place again? because ummmmmm it takes my breath away a lot.

ggirl2001

Fishy, I totally plan to be having mimosas while getting ready. I have no shame in that. I would think less of myself if I didn't.

At my friend's wedding this summer all the bridesmaids and bride did a shot of whiskey before going to the church. I want that to be mine lol.

musicalsunlight

Well they look great, Fishy. I never had braces because my teeth were always just "ok" enough to not have them. So now they are crooked but not OMG crooked.

crfische

We had mimosa's, too. And mostly everyone had a drink during pictures. ANNNDDDD, we bought all of our ceremony guests drinks upon entry to the bar. Mostly everyone had a cocktail during the ceremony.

YEAH YEAH YEAH, whatever, it was awesome.

Then we booze cruised on a giant boat.

Best. Day. Ever.

musicalsunlight

All I care about is that I have chocolate covered strawberries and that there is a special plate of them saved just for me. Of about, at least....35 strawberries.

ggirl2001

Ohhh thats a good idea about having a drink during ceremony. But since it's mostly just close family and friends and the bar is literally 2 steps to the ceremony site, I think it's going to be family at the bar anyway. We're joking that they won't leave the bar area to see the ceremony since the bar offers a good enough view.

Musical-I LOVE your reception site! It's gorgeous

musicalsunlight

Thanks ggirl! Its a castle. Well, not really. It WAS a courthouse and now it is a historical landmark & has offices and stuff in it. Buuuuut I get dressed in one of the old (really pretty!!) courtrooms like this girl:





and and and the outside of the building just takes my breath away in the wintertime:

ggirl2001

Gorgeous!

But now I must go eat dinner and such. I'm sure I'll be back later since its a saturday night and I have no life.

crfische

I LOVE your venue. LOVE.

musicalsunlight

Have a good dinner,

I am contemplating moving from our desktop computer to my laptop---I'm getting bored with not sitting all slouched and comfy on my favorite chair.

musicalsunlight

ME TOO FISHY. It was the one thing that I just knew was my "must have" wedding item/thing. We looked at dozens of places but in my mind I just kept going back to it. I love the elegance it will have during the winter and during an evening wedding. All my life I thought I wanted a summer wedding but when budget/time concerns made winter the necessity---this just sealed the deal.

You ladies are making me uber jealous with your dresses and venues and what not... my venue is nothing to look at from the entrance, and since it's just now starting to become spring weather, when we signed our contract everything was brown and dead at the ceremony site, so no photos of that either.

I do have a few pics of my dress, but they aren't fantastic (taken either when I first tried the dress on and wasn't sure if I loved it or not or after I'd been there for an hour & a half and was ready to just put my jeans back on haha)...

Also, coming in late to the discussion, but totally shocked about Boogard's death too - and have to agree that my first thought was "I wonder if drugs were involved"... I'm not from MN or NY, but as a Chicago fan I really enjoy some rough & tumble hockey. "Boogey-man" was always fun to watch, and he was really the epitome of hockey-heart off the ice.

musicalsunlight

Kelly-- I didn't take those photos of my venue-- I googled them. I bet if you google the venue site you would find some great pics of the venue. No need to get discouraged!

And I agree, Boogard was really great to watch and had a lot of positive spirit off of the ice too.
