ok, i'm getting excited again! the wedding is one month from tomorrow (4 weeks from saturday). i seriously can't wait to show you guys pictures!

i needed a strapless bra and since i'm quite chesty i needed a corset style one to give me the support i need. well, we had a heck of a time finding anything that offered any support so i ended up with the ugliest get up ever! it's practically a pantsuit and a crotchless one at that! lol, when i told nick he said "erm... aren't all bras crotchless?" it's so embarrassing, not exactly the wedding lingerie you envision... it's nude colored and it's supposed to make me "look 10 pounds lighter in seconds", it's like a knee length spandex suit. ugh.

my mom and i went and ordered the flowers the other day. they're gorgeous and i'm pleased to say we went away from the norm and there's not a single rose in the bunch. i was planning on doing pink everything but changed my mind since it's going to be fall and my hair is going to be a plummy shade. now the flowers are all shades of fuchsia, orange, deep purple, and greenery.

i'm having some issues with the readings. first, choosing them is tough because i'm just googling and there are so many to choose from. i did pick this one, let me know what you think-

Love, trust, and forgiveness are the foundations of marriage. In marriage, many days will bring happiness, while other days may be sad. But together, two hearts can overcome everything...In marriage, all of the moments won't be exciting or romantic, and sometimes worries and anxiety will be overwhelming. But together, two hearts that accept will find comfort together. Recollections of past joys, pains, and shared feelings will be the glue that holds everything together during even the worst and most insecure moments. Reaching out to each other as a friend, and becoming the confidant and companion that the other one needs, is the true magic and beauty of any two people together. It's inspiring in each other a dream or a feeling, and having faith in each other and not giving up... even when all the odds say to quit. It's allowing each other to be vulnerable, to be himself or herself, even when the opinions or thoughts aren't in total agreement or exactly what you'd like them to be. It's getting involved and showing interest in each other, really listening and being available, the way any best friend should be. Exactly three things need to be remembered in a marriage if it is to be a mutual bond of sharing, caring, and loving throughout life: love, trust, and forgiveness.

second, i can't get anyone to do the readings. i asked my younger brother, who is my best friend, he said he's too shy (which is crap, he's quite the showboat). i asked his boyfriend, who is going to nyu for his masters in poetry, if he'd whip something up and read it, he also said he's too shy. there aren't a lot of guests to choose from so i guess i'm going to ask my sister-in-law to read the one above, even though we are not at all close. then maybe ask nick's sister to read another, if i can find one. i'm not really big on the readings but we need something to draw the short ceremony out. please share if you have something good!

and i got finn his first pair of shoes! he got black converse for the wedding. he's never worn shoes so he acts all weird when they're on but they are so tiny and cute.

here he is modeling them!

that's it! i'm just excited!
