Random Thoughts...

My week thus far has reminded me how fortunate and frightened I am to have the friends that I do. I had dinner Tuesday night with Adam & Chubbs. They spent the evening curing my blues by doing the "Triangle of Trust" that Chubbs learned in jail. They were uncomfortably eager to hold each other hands for this.

Then my BFF Sara Sautner came over Wednesday night for a sleepover, which totally made my week! She brought her dress and shoes and tried them on for me. It looks AMAZING! She's going to be one of the world's prettiest brides! I'd say THE prettiest, but I'm in another wedding this summer, and half of this blog's followers are beautiful married women too! (You know you're the most gorgeous though Sara...wink wink). Our pal Jen (the unofficial wedding coordinator) came over to see the wedding ensemble, then we did dinner with Adam and Chubbs.

Dinner with Adam, Chubbs, Sara & Jen was a blast of course. There's something to be said for being pals with crazies. Jen is quite possibly one of the funniest girls I know. She dedicated her evening to annoying Adam, which had us all in tears. Jen's repertoire of talents include a nasal singing voice similar to Britney's, a gift for staring uncomfortably at people and this horribly annoying (yet hysterical) laugh. You'll all hopefully get to hear her sing the wedding march for Sara, using only the word "Meow." I'm thinking we should charge admission to this ceremony...


I hate to encourage her, but Jen's hopeful wedding theme had everything in common with this pic. Well I guess Jen's vision was "Cats in Fancy Hats". That's somewhat of a difference. There's a reason I called Jen the unofficial wedding coordinator. She'd be more official if Sara actually used any of her ideas. Thankfully she isn't! Sara was pretty enthused by many of Jen's ideas. When they began collaborating on using kazoos as ceremony music, Alix fortunately intervened and we separated the girls.

More Dresses...

This past weekend Sara went to California to visit Molly and catch an Avett Brother's concert. But Molly is nothing if not efficient, so Sara also had time to try on a few more dresses!





Sara never knows what to do with her hands when we take her picture. (If you all haven't noticed that by now). So enjoy her posing! There is a close up on this fabric because it had a pretty floral pattern to it.




Thanks Molly for sending me these pics! Sara's dress purchase deadline is coming up soon, so I will keep all posted as to when she makes a final purchase. Her choice will lie between all the dresses I have shown. But will we tell you which will be her final purchase??

I think not...

My Shoes

I'm pretty excited. I just picked up my dress, it was finally shipped to the Cheyenne store. SO pretty! I found two pair of sandals to wear for the wedding...we decided on black sandals for the bridesmaids. Here are my two options.

They are both cute, but I think I like the first one best!

New Dress favorites

Saturday, May 9

Sara, Alix & I went dress shopping in Denver at Schaffers. Even a big dress shop only has a couple shorter wedding dresses. We decided Sara's criteria of a short dress and orange shoes was becoming a pain in the bum.

We found the following favorites. This dress has a "cancun lace" overlay. It looked SO good on her. Don't judge me too harshly for the photo quality. I forgot to take my camera, so these pics are from my phone!



Here's a lace close up. It's funky-girlie, just like Sara!



This bridesmaid dress also looked good on her. It comes in white too!




They're both great dresses. I like the flower one best, it's more special and dressy. Costs more of course!

Hot Shoes!

Alix, Molly, Elaine and myself all have our bridesmaid dresses! We went to check them out Thursday, April 30th. Sara loved them and we all bought ours that day. This may be the first time that a bridesmaid really WILL re-wear their dress!


The green in the picture isn't the green the dresses turned out to be. The real dress is a much prettier kelly green color...exactly what Sara had in mind!



Molly and I have a few favorite shoes for us bridesmaids to wear. Elaine has tiny girlie feet, so she may not be able to match us. She's on Curtis's side, so perhaps it will work out all the same. I feel like Jay to Alix's Silent Bob. She's hard to reach for thoughts and opinions. But I think she's game for anything, so it'll all work out!

My favorite three shoes are the following, in the same order.








We may have some mystery jewelry from Sara to go with our dresses. I'm betting on a dinosaur charm on a chain.
