Though we are not really a blogger, we're hoping you'll be able to journey with us as we experience the ups and downs of living out a marriage. And a cross-cultural marriage at that. :)

Bridesmaid Dress FAIL...


I was ideally hoping for a simple "everyone order their own dress, it fits perfectly" situation for the bridesmaid dresses. Sadly, this was not the case.

Unfortunately, the dresses I had my BMs order (right) were both see through and not ideal for all people. and the yellow was not as bright as it is in the picture. SO - I'm now on a hunt for the perfect bridesmaid dress.

On the up-side, this means I get more bonding time with the ladies. I'm really hoping to not have to go through a bridal dress store, as they cost twice the price, and since the wedding is in 4.5 months, chances are they'd tell us they'd need to "rush" the dresses, and charge us an arm and a leg. Highway robbery.

Oh well, another day, another obstacle.
But on the up-side I can't wait to be married. How people wait a year to get married, I'm not sure...kudos to them. :)

I'm most pumped for the dance at the wedding - one song suggestion by my bro was this and now I'm hoping Mr. DJ has it...

    The dress looks great in the picture - too bad it didn't work out!
    I know someone else who just went to RW&Co. and found dresses there. Something to think about if you're concerned about timeline and budget.

    I agree - people who have 1 year + engagements are crazy. It gives them too much time to plan and re-plan and re-re-plan their weddings. And lose their rings. You are definitely doing it the right way. :)
    J Crew has some beautiful yellow dresses, too. This one's on sale?

    Ignore the previous "deleted" comment. :P So much for experimenting with blogger. What I did say was something to effect of "That's too bad. Tux shopping should hopefully be much easier for the guys." And for once, as a problem-solving guy, I don't have a solution in mind. :) The bonding time should be good for the ladies!

    I do like the idea of the song though... "Julia, Julia, ..." and I like the African rhythm... takes me back to my roots in that continent. :)

    I'd much prefer to get married in less than a year... too bad I only get 1 week off school!
