Weekend Goodies!

Lots of stuff accomplished this weekend!

We got our invitation for our 3rd shower!! It's a NCSU tailgate theme!!! We are super excited :-)



We got our marriage license!

**Sorry No Pic**

Here's the wedding night outfit... isn't it crazy appropriate for our fall, rustic wedding!?!



Much more to come!! :-)

Chop Chop

The hair is cut! WAHOO!!! :-)

On another note- I swung by the Victoria's Secret at Southpoint in Durham to pick up my wedding night outfit :-)

..... I saw it about a week ago when I was there, decided that I had a giftcard at home I wanted to use towards it, so I would just go get it from a store in the Charlotte area or online. Easier said than done. NO ONE had the outfit, nor is it available online. I finally called the Southpoint store on Tuesday in a panic, luckily, they still had it, and could hold it for me! I was super excited to get it yesterday, even if it did cost me a small fortune. I will post a picture of it soon! It's ivory, with an orange tie under the bust, and a gray design on the top.... pretty damn close to our wedding colors! :-) I love it!!!!

Boudoir Photo Session

(note- the picture is not of me... just an example of a b-pic)
So, some friends of ours Matt & Aeriel were married back in October. She introduced the idea of B-pics to me! She was having them done as her wedding gift to Matt. I was a little hesitant to the idea at first, but quickly became a fan! I decided to give my photographer a chance to do them, since she never had.

I can honestly say it's one of the best things I have ever done!!!! If for no other reason, it makes you feel like more of a woman than ever! My wonderful hair/makeup artist, Elizabeth Tolley did an outstanding job! She fixed my hair and makeup for each different outfit. While I was going through hair/makeup my photographer, Ashley Stephenson (who did our e-pics, on the right of this page) brainstormed about ideas for poses. My lovely bridesmaid Sabrina came for "moral support" but ended up being my "artistic director" telling me to drop my elbow, turn my head, play with your necklace... ect. Elizabeth also brought her assistant, Brianna, she was awesome too!!!

Every once in a while, Ashley would show me the screen on the camera of a picture she'd taken.... I was shocked!! I never thought I could look like I belonged in a VS magazine!!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible! I cannot wait to get the pictures! :-)

VS Rave

hehe, I'm not married, and I used the word RAVE.... muhahhaha!!!

ok, so like I said in the previous post, I buy too much from VS. Well, when ordering things for my bpics I bought a cute little babydoll with matching undies... I spent a whopping $58 :-(

Well, it was back ordered..... and I don't have it yet. I noticed it went on sale for $39!!! I was quite upset, so I emailed them.

Since my purchase fell within 3 weeks of them putting it on sale, they are refunding me the difference!!!! YAY!!!

VS Rant

So, lately (well since last Christmas) I have spent too much money at Victoria's Secret. Jeremy gave me a gift card last Christmas and I have a hard time buying undies anywhere else now. Well, over the last month, I have spent a significant amount of money there for my b-pics, I guess they appreciated it enough to send me a "free panty card" . So I went in last night to retrieve my free panties.... ok, the little card said a $7.50 value... which most all of their Pink collection cotton ones are. I picked out a pair of festive ones and made my way to the register with them and another pair (after perusing the store for 15 mins or so, with NO one asking if I wanted help... usually you can't get those sales girls out of your ass!) I went to the register with my 2 pairs of panties.... and handed her my free panty card. She politely told me that neither of those qualified, and pointed me towards the direction of the ones that did qualify. I said ok, and told her I didn't want the festive ones then. I made my way over to the bin of very plain, non-fun undies and picked a pair of gray ones. I walked back to the counted where she told me the gray ones didn't qualify, they had to be pink, ivory, navy or white. THE GRAY ONES WERE EXACTLY LIKE THOSE!!! Why did it matter???? So, I went back to the non-fun undies and DUG for a pair of pink ones, because naturally, the only ones left were size anorexia or I'm an over-eater. Anyways....

I got my stupid, non-cute, non-festive, plain, free panties.
