Dress Shopping

I tried on a couple more dresses on Monday at Demetrios in Tampa and lucky me most of the dresses there are a size 10!... I'm a size 14 at best. Much like the picture above my boobs were popping out all over the place and it sure as heck did not zip up the back. I did however find two dresses that I liked quite a bit. Both are around $1500 which means I will try and find it cheaper online becuase there is no way I am spending that much on the dress if I can help it.

I showed the pictures of the dresses to my mom and she said I should keep looking. I asked her why and her response was they look "uncomfortable". This made me think that by uncomfortable what she really means is i am going to look fat in it. Oh well I might be reading too much into that.

I do have one other place in mind  that I want to go look at dresses and see how their price compares as opposed to the other two places I have been to. I also found out that I need to order my gown pretty soon if I expect it to be here in time for the wedding.

Oh and the wedding date will definitely NOT be in August. A co-worker is taking her vacation at the restuarant right on the weekend that I wanted to have it so I am still keeping November 11 in mind but I am also thinking about having it October 10, 2011 (10/10/11) mainly because it is on a Monday which means everyone we know is more likely to come. All I really know is I have to pick a set date soon otherwise I am going to be in trouble.

I also have to pick out a venue and SOON! The Hungarian church is still available but its just SO small. Granted we are not going to have a ton of people there to begin with but I was hoping for a decent size dance floor at the least. Any suggestions about places in the Hillsborough/Pinellas county Florida (not the beach because Curtis will fry and so will I) they would be greatly appreciated. And if you have a rich uncle that lives down here and has a huge mansion we can have it at I am all for it. (yes I live in la la land and my fairy god mother and white slippers are hidden in my closet).

Now Where Did I Put that Wedding?

So I have no idea where to have the wedding.

NOT on the beach, I am well aware I live in Florida and the coast line is beautiful and blah blah blah, but if I am going to spend a couple of hundred dollars on an ivory dress I can't see myself mucking it up with sand. And I will NOT wear an above the knee dress. So that cheap version is out of the questions.

I could go with a park to save on cost and I would like to have an outside ceremony BUT I want the option to have it inside if the weather goes sour. so that means paying for a venue which will cost a ton of money. I am hoping to get some sort of a package deal with the ceremony and food and flowers. But again money money money.

I think we have the music and photographer under our belt (well maybe the photographer I still want a professional there instead of  student).

I was also thinking about maybe having the wedding on a cruise or on a boat. I just don;t know how many of our friends would be able to be there if we did that. Not to mention I have like NO ONE to invite. I think max my list of people who I am inviting to the wedding is like 10.. maybe..

Angie
Mom
George
Angie's Mom
Angie's Older Brother
Angie's Younger Brother (maybe)

and all those minus George and Angie's little brother MIGHT have a +1 added to it.

I was thinking about inviting Attumn too but she never really comes through at the end so I think I will leave her out of the list.

I don't even know how many people Curtis wants to invite, I really don't feel like having girl's he has had a crush on/messed around with/or dated at my wedding. I know I will probably have to make an exception or two but meh... We both deserve to have a good time at the wedding after all.

But it doesn't matter how many people are going to go IF we have no where to have it.

And call me finicky but I do NOT want to have it at someones house. Or god forbid at our apartment complex.

I still don't know how I am going to raise money for this wedding.
