Hi, I'm an AW.

So, I went to DC this weekend for a job interview and bridesmaid dress shopping and stuff. 

My interview went well and the offer I got was really good...I think I'll be taking it.  It's contigent on me graduating, publishing, etc so nothing guaranteed yet, but it looks like FI and I will get to live in the same state after all!  So that was cool.

Then I picked my wedding band out - here's the setting/band together.


Then I went BM dress shopping.  It was a not so fun experience because my little sister was very pouty/disagreeable the whole time.  She kept leaving the store while we were in the middle of deciding things to call her boyfriend.  And she kept talking about when SHE gets engaged how things will be different...it was a little annoying.  But here are the dresses:


 They're alfred angelo, and will be purple with ivory in the center.  MOH got a different dress, and it will just be purple.  Glad to have this over with!

This was the first time during planning where everyone else's expectations started to really stress me and I kept thinking that we should just elope.  I hope I don't have too many more days like that!

    Happy Monday:) The rings look great!  A former co-worker had a very similar style and I could never stop staring! It was just so sparkly and BEAUTIFUL!!!  I think the purple and ivory will look fantastic on those dresses...great choice!  So is your sister the MOH? 

    Hopefully you won't have many more moments where you have thoughts of eloping! The wedding will be beautiful and in the end, it will be worth all of the headaches:)

    carly - thanks! No, my sister isn't the MOH.  We just don't get along and I knew she wouldnt be supportive of me and I don't need that in a MOH.  My best friend since I was 2 is my moh instead.  But I had to keep my sister in the WP just to keep the peace with my mom.

    I hope I have less crazy i want to elope moments too.  Hope you are keeping it together as you round the 1 month mark!

    Glad to hear your interview went so well! Love the ring and the dresses. Hopefully you won't have anything else as stressful as picking out BM dresses. I'm starting to do this as well and it's definitely not easy :-/

    Glad to hear your interview went well and at least you have a supportive MOH!  Your ring is absolutely gorgeous.  It does look like it would be so sparkley.  I love looking at rings like that!

    Congrats on picking out your bm dresses.  They look great on the girls.  Sorry your sister wasn't being super supportive.

    Hey, that looks like a blue nile band!  I have a blue nile engagement ring (the sapphire and diamond band) and I'm getting the comfort fit white gold wedding band.  I like your set!

    As for your sister, I am really sorry to hear that.  That really does suck.  It is nice of you to at least keep her in the wedding party with an attitude like that!  I hope for your sake that she sees the error of her ways sooner rather than later.

    Love the band and BM dresses!!

    Just remember that your wedding is really an expression of you and your DF as a couple.. and people can give you all the opinions that they want, but in the end, their opinions shouldn't matter too much to you. Sorry to hear your sister was the cause of some drama.. you really can't please everyone all the time though...

    YAY for the new job prospect.. esp since its in DC with DF!
