Kalin has found her dress!

August 23, 2009 by Kalin Raible

Motivated by a $100 bet with Mya, I was successful in finding my wedding dress . I visited my Mom to go fabric shopping for the attendants dresses. Mom was still at work on Thursday so I went to Lancaster Mall.. didn't find anything but AVVA CIGAR & WINE ... excellent selections! http://www.avvacigars.com/ 

I crossed the street to Academy Square and went into Bridal Exclusives www.BridalExclusives.com. The bridal consultants were very helpful and helped me find dresses and then left me alone to try them on!

So the the dress I desired was a cream/champagne/oatmeal color, no train, with shoulder straps that fit well. The dress I found fits well and doesn't have a train!

 

Weddingville

August 19, 2009 by Mya Papaya

When you are answering text questions from your caterer while on the fire line and your mother calls first thing on your day off with cake decorating ideas you have arrived in weddingville.  When California is burning and all you can think about is getting the invitations out, you are in weddingville.  When you think, sure, whats another 500 bucks you are definitely in weddingville. 

Not that it is a bad place to visit.  I just never thought I would.  I remember Toni sweating over her website and making coleslaw by the barrel for my mother's wedding.  I was laughing then...and fortunately I am laughing now.  You have too when you are trying to land a helicopter every two minutes and you wedding planner is sending pictures on your phone of unity candles.   (we are having a unity candle?!).  Or when your fiance faxes to fire camp the wording for your invitations.  "Hey, Dude' this must be for you".  Yup weddingville it is.

My mother now refers to all things as AW or BW.  That is after wedding or before.  You gotta love it.

So if all my readers ( both of you) have any questions about lodging, food, pirate decorations for the barbeque or how many pairs of pants I have tried on for my wedding suit please call or email.  It will  improve my stay in weddingville to talk to other visitors.
