Coming Soon....

Since I have an injured back today I didn't go to work which left me free to check out Simply You! Photography's Facebook page and want to jump up and down (which obviously I can't do with an injured back) and scream that Brianna posted our preview shots from our engagement session with her last week!

First off, I wanted to introduce you to the one of the nicest, funniest, most awesomest (that's not a word, I know) photographers I have met... Brianna from Simply You! Photography!

Mission Accomplished

This past Saturday FI Fishie and I were able to channel our inner supermodelquins...

(admit it-you watch those Old Navy commercials and wish you could be one too, no judgment here)

How do you FEEL about that?

The Fishies have begun pre-marital counseling...and frankly it stinks worse then the kitties' litter box. As we've discussed before, I was born without several important "girlie" genes; one of which is the desire to tell someone else how I'm "feeling" for an hour. In the logical side of my brain, I realize that pre-marital counseling is important and it'll be better for our marriage in the long run but the illogical side of my brain is acting like a spoiled little three year old stomping it's feet and screaming "But, I don't WANT to go!" 

E-Pics Outfits...HELP!!

Oh loyal readers, in case you haven't noticed I was distinctly born without any of the girly genes which make shopping, hair styling, make-up, accessorizing, etc enjoyable.Therefore, I'm turning to you and asking you guys to help me decide what the h-e-double hockey sticks I should wear next week when FI Fishie and I go and get our picture taken.

I Don't Wanna Grow Up...I Wanna Be A Toys-R-Us Kid!

Things around the fishbowl have been busy busy busy lately. So I apologize for the lite posting. But, I had to pop in and tell y'all about the FABULOUS new toys I have now. Which are either going to make my wedding planning infinitely easier or more complicated, not sure which yet.

Our Wedding Genie

I'd like to introduce you all to Melinda...otherwise known as my saving grace.

The Dress Saga Has Ended...

Since I know you're all absolutely RIVETED by the vast amount of drama surrounding my search for the PERFECT dress starting with my laid back approach here to the failed attempt at trying to involve my family and friends here and the latest installment here involving a love affair with a dress that wasn't destined to have a happy ending, unfortunately. I looked and thanks to my wonderful cousins' wifeys I found a store that had the dress I wanted but I just couldn't motivate myself to make the trip to the Twin Cities to go look at it-but I think that everything happens for a reason and I just wasn't destined to have that dress.

Friday versus Saturday

Lately I've heard from certain people that a Friday night wedding would be "inconvenient" for guests. Although I can understand this idea I've found compelling arguments for having a Friday night wedding, along with it being my personal preference.

Wedding Dress Designers Should Be Shot...

Now, I'm not one to be prone to bouts of self-doubt and self-loathing. I have a pretty healthy sense of self-esteem, I'm not overly inflated with myself but at the same time I'm able to look in the mirror and say "hey, I'm one hot sexy girl". However, all that self-esteem flew right out the window when I started trying on dresses. I turned into a crying ball of self-doubting goo.

Dress Love...

Alright well if you've been following the saga (here and here) that has been my dress hunting. You have probably realized that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing or what in the world I want. However that has all changed. I have found my dress...it's gorgeous, it's sleek and sophisticated, it's fitted but still allows me to move. In a word, it's PERFECT! I can hear the choir of angels singing the hallelujah chorus
