haha thanks, i was soooooooooooo happy. i did NOT want to take it off, i was sad the rest of the night. every day since, i go in my closet in the den and stare at the box for a few mins thinking about being naughty and trying it on again!

MY VEILS CAME YESTERDAY!

I must say I was a self proclaimed veil hater, as many of you know. But I really really love these veils from occansey.

 

Please excuse the fact that I have no makeup on and look like a hag, and am in my PJs with no bra, but I got up early to take these photos while FI was still sleeping!

 

this is the one just like Ann's that has alternating swarowski crystals and 4 mm pearls along the edge.

 

this is the same thing, but with a plain edge.

[becks]

WOW Maura!!!! I LOVE your veils!!! Which veil with which dress?

 

I have to get a photo of mine, but it's tucked away in a closet and I can't really get to it when my beloved is around.

[Maura]

you know, i love them both... but i think the beaded veil will go better with my big dress. jose said it looked gay when i tried the veil on for him last night, but i love how it looks in the photos. he is going out with his friends tonight so i will attempt to get my dress out of the box and on me with the veil to show you what it looks like.

 

ahhhh becca im so excited you will be here sooo soon!!

[Maura]

oh just realized i forgot to post these pics of me trying on the jcrew dress! it came 2 days ago. its actually slightly big on me, im debating returning it for one size down. with the weight im losing right now... i think the size i got is going to have to be taken in quite a bit otherwise. im going to hang onto the size i ordered for about 4 weeks though, and if i'm swimming in it in 4 weeks, i will return for the next size down.

 

 

OH and i almost forgot!!! i got my first makeup trial run done yesterday. here is a photo of how it turned out!

[Maura]

ok one more and i promise ill stop making you guys look bad. haha.

 

my BM tote bags, each custom embroidered with their names, arrived earlier this week. i ordered from lands end. got free shipping with a coupon, and they were doing a thing where you buy 2 or more you get them each for $21 incl the monograms. here are a few shots:

 

and my shower invitations are done and stuffed in envelopes, here they are getting ready to be mailed on monday! just have to close the envelopes.

Maura, you're stressing me out! Ahhh!!! I thought I was doing alright, but now I'm thinking, WOW, I need to get on it! I'm getting married the day before you!
