-He has never left the seat up, ever

ok i don't hate registering anymore

Because I found plates that I looove!! Our married life will surely be complete with these lovely placesettings. (Registered at Dillards, hint hint)

Registering

Tonight we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to start building our registry. Everyone is doing Target these days, but their return policy is real screwy (something like only two returns allowed a year). BB&B's policy is whatever whenever! I thought it would be really fun, picking out a bunch of presents, but it was stress-city.
Pyrex bake ware or corning ware? Cuisineart or Kitchenaid? Non-stick or all clad? And oh we already have this and that, but should we get new/nicer ones? And what is the point of a toaster oven, if we have an oven and a toaster? Do we buy in package or separate?
It was so overwhelming, I felt like I was getting ten of the same little things and couldn't make a decisions on the important stuff. Not to mention Jean-Paul and I have such different tastes. He wants all the cool modern gadgets and I want everything retro or timeless.
I must have compared muffin tins for fifteen minutes. Poor Jean-Paul.. Back this weekend for round two!

Perfect Table Inspiration

P.S.- Ordered our invitations and thank-you's. You won't be seeing them for a while, but get ready! They are perfect!!!

So, we are trying to order our invitations, but can't decide what time. We want the ceremony to be during the day, ending with a sunset then night reception. I can't figure out the farmer's almanac. Wedding at 6 or 6:30? 7?
When does it get dark May 1st, 2010, in St. Francisville, LA?

Something blue and super cute

Found my shoes, and they are exactly what I was looking for!

So this past week we:
-Bought shoes
-Booked Adam Hudson Photo (!!)
-Decided on groomsman pants
-Got everyone to buy their pants (I think..)

I want to say this stuff is not so hard, but I don't want to speak too soon!

WEDDING DRESS- SUCCESS!!

So Jean-Paul's e-mails and phone calls really paid off when they led us to Mimi's.

They were selling a couple of samples from older collections at a discount to make room for the newer collections. I didn't find "dream dress", but I certainly found a dreamy one that happened to be part of the sample sale. I didn't want to make the decision on the spot, but when I woke up today I decided that if someone else bought my dress I would be heartbroken. I called mom and told her, and she bought it over the phone- I think she was sold on it before I even tried it on.

I'm so relieved! I thought I would be nauseous after going through with it, but surprisingly, I feel very calm about it. I think it will be absolutely perfect for the kind of wedding we want. I don't want to give anything away, but I will show off a little and tell you..

Its Vera Wang :)
It was 50% off :) :)
