More wedding stuff
19 July 2009
In conclusion, wedding planning is quite a bit of work!
Even for her relatively small and simplified wedding, my friend still has a lot of details to work out. The invitations, the dress, the photographer, the cake, the dress, the food, the makeup, the hair, the dress, the seating arrangements, the flowers, the dress, the shoes. And finally, the dress. Today was dress day. The dress she ordered finally arrived and we met with a seamstress-friend of ours to take a look at it for alterations. Between lunch and the appointment, we had a few hours to burn so we went to the mall to browse at wedding bands. Yet another detail. I learned a few new tidbits of information about sparkly things:
- Palladium is another silver colored metal, not as expensive as titanium and probably less prone to discoloration than white gold. Did I say titanium? I meant platinum. Whatevs, looks about the same.
- There are different ways to set diamonds: prongs, channel, pave, and animal style.
- I am not the person to go to for questions about these things.
- Macy’s is having a sale on kitschy jewelry! I got a pair of pearl earrings!
man! every time i come to your blog and see wedding dresses, i’m half expecting a “i’m getting married!!” update… then i get a mixture of excitement and anger cuz i had to find out through your blog. and then disappointment cuz it turns out it’s someone else’s dress. hehehe are you trying on any of the dresses??
too much info on the sparkly. makes my head dizzy. i just want pretty and long lasting.
