I found my dress today! I am so excited. I went to this place called castaways, I wasn't expecting to find ANYTHING there because it's just a consignment store. What I didn't know was there is a whole room in the back just FULL of wedding gowns. Some were used and it was obvious they were second hand, but others were brand new. I looked around for awhile and the old women who worked there swooped down upon me and took over. They were so helpful. The very first dress I found that I liked I got uoset over. I LOVED it, and there was only one, but it was a size 12. I am a fat butt, I wear a 16. So I wanted to cry. But the woman assured me, I should just try it on. And holy heck, guess what. The durn thing fit, perfectly. I had a bustier on, which I think helped smash me down some..lol. So anyways, I would post a picture on here, but I don't want Chunk's wandering eyes to see it. I wil say this, it is brand new, It still had all the tags, The lady who consigned it never got married. It is an Alfred Angelo, and it's an A-line dress. It has some beading on it, but it is very simple and the beading is in a very pretty pattern, which I cannot disclose until MUCH later. Like, after the wedding lol. It is white, and beautiful. And I look pretty in it, and it is also temple appropriate. I love it, I am so happy. I am on cloud 9...I can't wait till this wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!

The invitations are all laid out and set to go, but I am having a technical difficulty. My printer is just about outta ink and I need a new cartridge. RATS! I hope and hope mine isn't one of those heinously expensive ones. Here is a pic of the invitation. I am printing some of it on vellum, and tying them together with a ribbon, it's purdy.

The Invitation Experiment
I purchased this "kit". It is supposed to be super easy blah blah blah. First of all the instructions are really vague, and seem to be a horrible translation of some other language. Second, my printer is a homo. It has these little paper jams ALL the friggin' time. It ate an entire invitation. I managed to get ONE printed out just lovely, and when I went for a second, it ate it. I decided to be a total nerd and use the Evanescence font, since I already have it on my pc. It looks really pretty on the invitations though! I should take a picture of what the font looks like.... 
What do you think? I need serious input. The invitations are going to be printed on simple white cardstock with an embossed silver border all around the edge. There wil be Rose colored bow tied at the top of each. Here is a picture of my pretty pretty rose colored ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby.
 I am so glad I have a blog to record this entire process. Most people's memories begin at the wedding itself. People fill up huge albums with wedding pictures and such, well now I have some pre-wedding memories too, and I know I will cherish them forever.
I am supposed to be expecting a package in the mail today from Chunk. He said it has hershey kisses and a poem in it. How sweet! I am extremely suspicious though, because he overnighted it. Who overnight mails hershey kisses? I asked him that, and he said, "Well it didn't cost that much more to overnight it". *coughs* bullcrap. The last time I overnighted something really small, it was over $15, and priority mail was only $3. Well, whatever. Maybe he really is weird enough to overnight hershey kisses, I love his weirdness anyhow. I need to send that boy a "Kelie-cares" package. I haven't created one of those in quite some time, not since the ex-A-hole was in boot camp.
I think that's a wrap for today. *hugs*

I have really been thinking about last night. What would I do if my mom couldn't come to my wedding? I think I would fall right over and die.
I went and bought the materials for some "test" invitations. Just enough to make one or two to see how they will look. Since we don't have a date yet, I can't make the real ones *sigh*
What now? I have no idea really.
I'm just going to continue planning and discussing things with Chunk, and hopefully everything will fall into place. Just go with the flow.

I wanted to ad a better picture of the most gorgeous ring ever to my blog, now that Chunk has so kindly taken better pics. I don't have much else to say except our date is probably getting pushed back because my dear Mother is not going to be able to make it in May. I am sad, I want it NOW, hehe. Gimme gimme gimme gimme. I love him so much, I want to be near him NOW.

I meant to write about the ring that Chunk picked out and bought, but I need to get something out first.
I have been crying for the past hour. I am listening to general conference right now and I am feeling overwhelmed. I need to go back to church, period. No ifs and or buts. I need to suck it up and just go. This is too important to keep ignoring and making excuses for. I just heard the best talk, and I don't even know who it was because I connected mid-talk. It realllllly hit home. Chunk, I love you, I want you to take me to the temple!!!!!!!!
Ok, the ring. All I can say is WOW, you did good Chunk, you did good. I took a picture of it, but for some reason it saved super tiny, so after a lot of zooming in you should be able to see it. http://img42.photobucket.com/albums/v128/thefaerietanzle/weddingring.jpg I thikn to be able to zoom in on it you'll need to right click and save it. I am going to try to fix this little problem tonight. This ring is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and it is *just* what I dreamed of. I love it.
I am going out to scout out some more deals for our wedding today. I want to hit up Hobby lobby because my sister told me about a wedding announcement kit that was really cool. I am really adamant about making them myself, because it's much cheaper, and also because I love making this kind of stuff! I don't get enough chances to be artistic because of my hectic life, so this is the perfect opportunity! My sister gave me a lot of good idea's and she is going to be such a big help to us. I am really glad we want to get married in Colorado because she only lives an hour and 45 minutes from where Chunk is. This is so exciting. I am so happy, and in love, and just feeling superb. I feel all floaty and it's just great. I hope this feeling lasts for a really long time.

I had this really good idea yesterday about what to do with my hair. I think I will dye it all this color called Chocolate Cherry. It's a really dark brown with a slight red hue to it. I really want to dye my hair all black, but I am a little afraid of what Chunk's parents might think of that. I don't know why I am worried about being myself. Probably because myself is not what most people consider normal huh. Anyway, I thought that since I'd have all one flat color to my hair, that I could have my hair braided into an updo, and have pink ribbons woven into the braids. The inspiration for this idea came from a Shakira album called "¿Donde estan los ladrones?", which means, 'Where are the thieves?". On the cover of the album, she has pink braids and stuff. There is a picture of it here.. http://img42.photobucket.com/albums/v128/thefaerietanzle/shakirabig.bmp
I think she is so pretty. She is the reason I wanted to learn bellydancing.
I was not able to go try on dresses at David's Bridal today due to some babysitting issues. Grrrr. I am shooting for tomorrow with my friend Erica. I am kind of glad I couldn't go today, because now I have someone to go with, w00t.
Overall things are going really well today. I don't have much more to add to that. I am floating on cloud 9......
Later Taters.

Funny that I got this result. It seems that love is what is on my mind 24/7 here lately. I am having mixed emotions about getting married. I am so in love with him, and I want to be married more than anything, but MAN this stuff is stressful. I feel really bad that my father is not helping pay for this at all. It makes things hard on me, and especially hard on Chunk. I found some fakie flowers I just adore at walmart today. I took a picture of me holding them. I look like a nerd, ignore me and just look at the dang flowers, lol.

Anyways, that's all I've to say about this stuff tonight. I am going to go have a pity party in my pillow soon. Ciao.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
I believe our tentative colors are black and pink. I am stoked about that because I enjoy being different. Being the same is so boring. A lot of weddings seem the same and are boring and blasè. At first I was worried about a lot of small details and how everything had to be perfect or I would die.
Today I realized that the material things about this wedding don't really matter at all. I am marrying The One. Seriously, I am lucky enough to have met and fell in love with the most awe inspiring man on the planet and I am so grateful he loves me too. All these petty details don't seem to matter as much, because I am going to be able to spend the rest of my life (and quite possibly eternity) with this lovely man, so who cares if everything isn't just-so?
I made an appointment to go try on dresses this friday. David's Bridal is having a $99 wedding gown sale for 5 days and I hope to score something there. My original dress I wanted is $300. If I can save $200 I will, because we really need it. Unlike tradition, my parents aren't paying for my wedding. I am sure they would if they could, but neither of them is in the financial position to be able to do so. I plan on working my heinie off at the grocery store and putting every cent of that into my wedding.
I want it to be really special. I want it to be special for Chunk too. He, like most men, is clueless when it comes to weddings. It makes me giggle sometimes. I think it's funny how we dream and long for this our whole lives. I wonder what guys dream and long for their entire life, besides sex. I am going to bid you all goodnight.
