I'm going wedding dress shopping tomorrow. I've had my fun trying on pretty stuff, now I really just want to find my dress (also, there's a sale. I wouldn't mind not paying a fortune for a dress I'm wearing once)

Re: What Are You Thinking About?
I spent $120 on my dress, altered it myself, added my own beading, made my own veil, and we carried lanterns instead of bouquets...I should see if I can find pictures. All together, our entire wedding (including rings--which is good, because we've both lost them and have had jobs where wearing them was a no-no) was under $1000.

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
So, I made this little string of conversation its own thread (I thought we, at one time had a thread like this, but maybe not)...I figured this is a topic that can stand alone and be fun to talk about, whether you've done it or are planning to do it.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
On my way home, unfortunately not with a dress. But I tried one on in another store which I'm going back to try Monday. And they have a sale too. I'm not handy, I wouldn't try altering my own dress, as I don't wanna be naked on the day :P
One thing that's starting to annoy me is the whole "you gotta suffer to be pretty" they've got going on. I tried one on that was toed so tight it was killing my back, "but it gives you such a tiny waist, it's worth it" no... i like my waist thank you very much. I also like my bones unbroken, and I sure as hell don't want to be uncomfortable on our wedding day just to get a tiny waist, or bigger boobs or better anything actually... sorry about tthe rant ^^You remind me of the babe

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
The idea for most weddings it seems is spend a fortune,at least that's the commercial vision. Thing is after you are married,you realize(and more so if you gonna have kids) that money will come in VERY handy when you are trying to throw together your first apartment as a couple. When the idea of having kids hits you,you begin to understand just how expensive raising kids really is.MAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED
all i ever wanted was a normal life and love.
NO TERF EVER WE belong Too.

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
My dress cost $210, including alterations. It's still sitting in my closet, but I think I'm going to remove the train and wear it on anniversaries. Just keep your eyes open.
My entire wedding cost 2k, including dress, shoes, circlet, venue, food, ceremony. Though I didn't pay for the booze my uncles snuck in against the venue's rules. =P

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
Thanks Raphaeline stressful indeed, but hopefully worth it. This is a wedding, i a church, which I've felt a bit strange about. But it's more of a cultural thing than a religious to me, and it means something to him. I asked him if we could have a handfasting as well, and he said of course we could, but I'd rather that was a private thing just for us.
So :P sounds like you know what not to do?You remind me of the babe

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
You can try looking online too. I got mine online and it worked out wonderfully. I had to spend forever taking measurements to enter in but it was worth. I do suggest adding an inch or so to all the measurements. If it doesn't fit perfect you can always take it in to get altered. Even with altering you should be able to get a real good one for under $500, and definately under $1000.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread
My mother hit on the idea of dyeing my wedding gloves (they were long, above the elbow, and fingerless) with indian ink and curry powder.
As a result I smelled like chicken vindaloo.
