So many wedding shows on WE. What does WE stand for anyway? I could google it, but I'm too lazy to alt-tab google.com. Tired.
Maybe when I'm less tired I'll go to theknot.com and build my fantasy wedding. I've heard that's a good thing to do - construct the wedding of your dreams, then implement your budget, hacking and slashing till you've got something realistic. It is probable that you will retain at least some elements of your pie-in-the sky wedding.
ps the problem with a lot of wedding attire sites is that they don't list the prices. stupid.

sigh
Dress shopping was ... intoxicating. The more gowns I tried on, the drunker I got.
Also tried on some awesome ones at a different place that wouldn't allow pictures.
And what's this nonsense I was spewing about not needing a veil? I loved the veil. What I did not love about the veil was its price. What is up with $200 for a piece of tulle? Nvm, jury's still out on the veil.
Advice for wedding dress browsers:
- Wear an outfit that doesn't require a bra so when trying on backless stuff, no bra lines.
- Makeup. Good boutique lighting can only do so much.
- Everything looks schmaltzy in its vinyl cocoon. Let them take it out of the bag.
- Call ahead and ask if you'll be allowed to photograph yourself in the dresses you try on. You might want to skip the ones who say no, at least early on.
