I've got the not skimping on photography thing taken care of...He is very good and very NOT cheap. Our engagement pics turned out great and I love the guy's personality. Pictures are extremely important to me, especially since I am not having a videographer.
They way I picked my dress is indicative of my personality. I had been trying on dresses and I was extremely frustrated. My mom and I had fought about it. She hated everything I picked. I wanted to BURN everything she picked, it was pointless! Then one afternoon I decided to skip band rehearsal because I got this charge of shopping inspiration and my mom and I headed out on an impromptu dress search. I found two dresses that I liked parts of, but not the whole thing. So, in keeping with my indecisive and hard to please nature, I said to my mom "I want the top of that dress I just tried on and the skirt from the one I am wearing." She laughed and said "Yeah right, like we are just going to buy 2 dresses and cut them in half..." and then the alteration lady says "I can do that". Lucky me! So we bought the one with the skirt I like and she has ordered the stuff to make the top look like the other dress. She is cutting the top off of the one I bought and giving it to me so that I can have it made into a purse or use it as material for the flowergirl basket. So she is completely rebuilding a top to the dress. Yea!
enough sharing for now
