Las Vegas Photog

We have finally found our photographer for our Couple's Photo Shoot at the Neon Sign Museum in Vegas! The VERY talented Chelsea Nicole is going to take our photos and I couldn't be more excited!   Here are some of my favorites from Chelsea....


























Amazing, Huh?  So Excited!!  The last picture is actually the Neon Sign Museum where our photo shoot will take place.  Can't wait to meet Chelsea and feel like a photogenic princess for a day!

Postage Predicament

After my trip to the post office today I needed a drink, or a sedative or maybe just a phone call to Dad.




Since my imaginary OCD tends to flair up more these days, I took a trial wedding invitation into the post office to get weighed and double checked. I figured if I went ahead and mailed myself an invitation I would know EXACTLY what they would look like as they arrived in all of our family's mailboxes and that the postage would be adequate. 

Everything was going A-Ok- I paid my 66 cents and was content with the way it looked. Just as I  was ready to mark that controversy off my list and head to the car, I saw this ginormous ink stamp flying through the air and slamming down on my meticulously planned envelope. My eyes widened and as my boiling blood surged through my body.  The man behind the counter looked up a me with a Grinch-like smile and said "That's it."




That's it?  I stood there for a moment puzzled by the indigo ink stamp that littered my beautiful white envelope.  I cleared my throat asked him if that was whole step was necessary - (probably not the right way to ask the question) and he said "Yes. Have a nice day."  And with that, my envelope with soaring into the dingy ink stained bin.

But why? Why do you have to put a huge nasty ink stamp on my beautiful envelope with the tiny wedding cake postage stamp in the corner?

Needless to say I went into Bridezilla mode and called Dad.  Luckily for me (and everyone that crosses my path) he has this wonderful way of calming me down.  He recommended that I try some other post offices in town to see if they had a smaller postage cancellation stamp or even an invisible one.

Am I crazy?  Did anyone else have a mini-meltdown over this?

Update to Fashion Help! Wedding Emergency.

So in my last post I was looking for this necklace

via J.Crew

and I took your advice and searched high and low on Etsy.  I found some okay options but they still fell in the $200-$250 range.  I figured if I am going to spend that much, I'd rather just get the one from J Crew.

Fast forward to today when I accidently stumbled upon this beauty...

While it is not exactly the same, I could change the ribbon out and cut off the excess chain and still manage to achieve the same look.  The best part is this necklace is on sale for $33!  Yes, $33.  It might be worth a try, huh?

I need your Fashion Help! Wedding Emergency.

So, I have absolutely fallen in LOVE with this Fenton/Fallon for J Crew Necklace.



But the $295 price tag has me a little scared.  I really need a chic/funky necklace to wear on my wedding day but I didn't plan on splurging on a necklace. (In my world it is usually Shoes> Jewelry)  

It is my wedding and if it comes down to it, I'll probably have to just suck it up and buy the darn thing.  But being the optimist/"Secret believer" that I am,  I thought maybe someone out in the bloggy world might be able to help.

Has anyone seen a necklace that is similar to this or at least has the same vibe?  I would be ever grateful if you have any tips.

Tear-Jerker

I thought everyone might need a good afternoon cry.  Here is Carrie Underwood's new video for "Mama's Song".


Love you Mom- I know you will cry as soon as the video comes on!
