Well, we've set the date: Febuary 17, 2012. I've always wanted to elope, but the courthouse requires you to have two witnesses that you know. How do you choose just two people without everyone else getting grumpy? Also, even though they have been warned MANY times in the last few years that I wanted to elope, my parents suddenly assumed that they would be invited. Um, were you not listening, mom and dad?
So, now we are inviting the entire ten people that the courthouse allows, AND we're having a dinner afterwards where a few more people can come. Oi.
On top of this: Rob is in school for a course that will be going straight through the summer, and the only time he'll have off for a honeymoon in the forseeable future is reading week, which is February 20-25. So, even though I hate the winter and really wanted to get married in the late spring, it looks like we HAVE to get married then or not for another three years. Hence, the date is the 17th.
Now, I've gotten quite... comfortable in the last five years of being with Rob, so I really wanted to shed a good 40-50 lbs before the wedding/honeymoon so I can look and feel fantastic and wear a bikini on the beach! Well, now I'm on a pretty strict diet/workout regime so that I can lose those 10 lbs a month. And to add even more incentive, I've purchased a very sexy dress to wear on the big day... And here it is! (ps, it will be in white, not blue)
I also was sure to order it in a couple of sizes larger than my goal size, so that I can get it tailored before the big day. I sent the pics to my mother who said, "Thats awfully sexy for a bride, you'll be wearing a shawl, right?" To which I responded "Just be glad I'm not wearing latex." Lol.
