Setting up House Keeping: The old-fashioned style

Well....

I've been meaning to update this. Lots has happened since the last post.

We were going to buy a house and then a lot of things pointed to not getting it. So, so be it. Needless to say it is still a bitter pill to swallow. Moving on. We do have an apartment picked out. It's a little one. Think a white bungalow style. We have the second floor and the owner is on the third, the other floor is a garage. It has 2 bedrooms, small kitchen, small bathroom, and a living room, but a large porch out front! It comes with the large appliances and thankfully a washer/dryer! We will be moving in after the wedding, Handsome will probably start to move in before.

I have already been fitted 1x in my dress and the changes are being made. Just taken in, a bustle put on, and the dress shortened. I picked out a veil too! It's similar to a mantilla. Thankfully it was on sale for $75. Yay! It will be placed at the top of my hair do with an attached comb. The hair will be somewhat victorian looking. It's not really what I pictured, but it looks great. Lots of swirly curls attached to my head and some curls hanging down. Had the trial run for that last week. I'll post pictures later.

I am now concentrating on the favors. The favors are what are stressing me. I think I found what I want. I am obsessed with something and they will work perfectly. :) Surprise to you!

Found my guestbook. It's a Lilly Pulitzer of course. Havana style, but it has the pink and green colors in the flowers. I found it on Ebay and it came with a small photo book. yay!

Just had to update a bit. I'll be better I promise :)
