And We Call it “Going Bridal”

I’m 109% sure that I’ve asked every person on my guest list for their mailing address–at least twice–after they already gave it to me. I’m 6 shades of wedding crazy right now. What’s your name? Are you on my guest list? You are? What’s your address? You sent it to me last week? I didn’t [...]

The Dress. The Venue. The Bull Semen.

Alright, I found a dress. In the LAST store, on my LAST day with my mom on our mini-vacation-for-dress-shopping-excursion-thingy. There were tears of dispair. Then tears of joy. Then McDonalds.

Remember That One Time When I Couldn’t Find a Dress?

Oh wait.  That time is RIGHT NOW. 678 stores later, I have nothing. Except two “maybes.” But I’m looking for the one that sings The Hills Are Alive! And the other two have only hummed it. One more store today. One. More. And then I’m making a decision. Maybe.
