The first of many...

Ok! A wedding post. The first thing I decided on was what to wear. Before anything, even the date! Below is some girl wearing my pretty dress. I knew I didn't want satin or lace, or a big full skirt, no ties up the back, no huge train... really nothing overly traditional. I tried on ten or so dresses by myself over a few weeks, and then the one time my mom comes she pulls this one out, and bam I love it. It is kind of Grecian when its on, almost, lots of super-soft chiffon flowing everywhere. While my parents are (generously) paying for the wedding, the dress was going to be the one expense I had to pay for myself. I wasn't exactly opposed to that, but then graciously Russell's grandma stepped in and insisted on buying it for me. It is kind of bittersweet as they won't be able to attend the wedding (due to medical reasons they can't leave Maui), and they are such great people.
