September 2012 Weddings

Highs and Lows (PIP!)

So... First, I just wanted to tell everyone how much I still appreciate the positive, uplifting spirit of community this board has.  I still find it's the only board I want to keep reading!

This week has been about highs and lows.  

First, let's start with today's low.  As I've shared before, my fiance's work takes him out to sea (no, he's not in the military currently) for months at a time.  He has been gone since early February.  I'm an independant gal so I don't mind but this is longer than he has EVER been gone and I really, REALLY miss him.  Poor guy also hasn't had a day off of work since February.

He has been planning on getting off the ship this week (which would also mean he's home in time for the food tasting which would be a bonus- Woo hoo!), but now his company is saying they might not be able to fill his spot, so he might not be able to leave.

Missing the food tasting is small potatoes, I'm just worried that he's going to have to spend another 3 weeks + at work if he has to cross the Pacific again...

NOW- the Pictures and the high!!  I will start with something sparkly so I don't bore you all to tears:


This is my bridal sash!  I got a really simple dress- no bows, no ribbons, no lace and ordered this FABULOUS sash on Etsy.  

Now, here are some pics I took with it on.  (Please excuse my yoga clothes- I needed a cleaning break and was excited.)  Sorry for the poor quality- had to do w/out the flash because of reflective issues!





...just for giggles, here is the dress it will be worn on:

Re: Highs and Lows (PIP!)

  • Wow, your dress is so classic and beautiful! I think that the sash will go wonderfully with it!! Good job!

    Sorry to hear about your FI being gone for so long. I know it's got to be hard to have to do so many wedding things without him, much less being away from each other for so long. I will think happy thoughts for you that he'll be home soon. It seems pretty unfair that they would be able to keep him longer just because they didn't fill the spot. (It doesn't sound like that should be his problem!) :(

  • That sash will look awesome with your dress! And here's hoping your FI gets to come home this week. I can't imagine not seeing my FI for that long :-/
    Anniversary
  • Thanks ladies!

    I appreciate the love.  

    I'm so excited now I can't wait to try on my dress... I just hope it looks okay.

  • Beautiful sash! :)

    I hope your FI is able to come home soon! I don't know how you do it. Travelling for work I am away from FI for a week at a time, sometimes 3 weeks at the most, and that is just however many days too long!
    Anniversary
  • Wow, I hope your FI comes back soon! I thought I had it bad when mine was in Alabama for 2 months straight (he was only supposed to be there for one month). Since february is a LONG time! I hope he comes back ASAP!
    Happily married since 9/1/2012!

  • That sash is gorgeous and I bet will look great with your dress.

    Long distance is soo hard (especially when you can't visit at all)!  I hope he comes home super soon.  Big hugs girl!
  • Thank you so much ladies for both the compliments and the love!!

    I wasn't sure it was the right sash (you know how it goes- you haven't tried your dress on since last year and are just trying to guess), but you ladies have me all confident that it will be fabulous!!

    Good karma all around!
