My bling bling.

How amazing is this necklace? I ordered it because it was only $25 and it's a nice little option for the big day. I know it's not expensive or made of precious jewels and that may bother some people, but who says I have to wear pearls or be traditional? Most of the things I'm choosing for my wedding has a little twist or extra kick to keep it interesting. Why not my jewelry, too?

Splitting hairs.

My mum and her friend Debbie were in town last week to practice some up dos on my hair. I was showing them both the hair styles I've previously posted on this blog and actually found the above picture of exactly what I want in the process. So here it is... Debbie was able to use this as a model and then add her own artistic touch. It's going to be gorgeous and I'm going to feel like a freaking super model.

& the winner is...

Here's the idea for a theme that I'm running with: All the table names will have an "&" in it. Dave insists that there's a Snoop & Dr. Dre table. WTF? Like my grandmother Tootsie would understand that one. The requirement to fit the bill is that each thing has to make the other better. For example, wine & cheese. Wine is good, but when you add cheese, it's like a party in your mouth. That's why Peanut Butter & Chocolate works better than Peanut Butter & Jelly, but either are good choices. Anyway, I think I'll have a mini block ampersand on top of the cake, too. It will say Mr. & Mrs. And then like in the picture above, I'm going to tie one of these 12" ampersands between Dave's and my chair. Other things I'm looking for: green & white striped linen napkins, pops of green for centerpieces, textured whites and khakis.

Hooray! Less than 4 months away!
