Vera Wang and Dior

Fuckity Fuck Fuck! That is what is going through my head right now.

I just rang Joel and asked him can we elope, pretty please? There is so much stuff going on at the moment with my family and his family I'm ready to jump on that plane. I have actually been really sick the last couple of weeks and I'm really starting to put it down to stress, i always knew it was some of the cause but maybe i am this sick because of all the stress. You think people (families) would be compassionate at this time so close to the wedding but no all i am getting is "she is not really sick, she doesn't like our family" (comments made from my lovely in laws to be) "she is always sick, blah blah" and then on the other side of the stick(my family) " oh it is your fault you are making the dramas worse etc" Why can't this be the most wonderful time it is meant to be. Lucky i do have Joel cos he is the only one that is holding me together at the moment.

I have to say I'm actually really dreading Christmas at the moment every time i eat i get a really sick feeling in my stomach and usually have to lay down, doesn't matter what i eat it happens after every meal and the last couple of days i have skipped breakfast to avoid the feeling cos it really is horrible and i normally have to have a nap for a couple of hours to feel a bit better. I hate this feeling. Also with all the family dramas i do not feel like smiling and just forgetting what everyone has been saying about/towards Joel and i. I hate that fakeness shit!

I do hope everyone has a lovely christmas, and hopefully here's to the happy time thats 2008 will bring us.

Oh i nearly forgot to mention, last night a very very close friend of mine came over to catch up not only did she bring the vera wang glasses/cake cutter that i brought through her mum(she works for wedgewood) she had given me my christmas present it was so gorgeous she gave me a Dior bracelet and it is so stunning.

So here's to Vera Wang and Dior :)

Buttons are silly things

Had the dress fitting last night, It just seems so unfinished atm all the beading is yet to be done, and other bits and pieces still unfinished. But it is looking great it had the buttons on this time they are so tiny, good luck to my mum :lol: they had problems doing up the 2 top buttons but once it was up it felt ok a little tight but she said that they need to stretch or something.
I tried on a veil it look quite good it was very very simple and it was as long as the dress 2.3m. I'm getting it but still unsure if i'll wear it on the day i guess i leave it up to last minute and then it can be a surprise :)

Heading out tonight with Kenz and Arna, should be a good night. Although i have busy day tomorrow so i'm not sure how long i'll be out for :)

6 weeks to go

I can’t believe there is about 6weeks left to the wedding. I have to admit I am little bit over it at the moment I being told this is normal. I feel excited about becoming Joel and I becoming husband and Wife I just feel like there is so much going on I don’t have time to just relax, lucky Christmas is coming up and I’ll have a couple of days off but then it’s back to work. I’m getting so excited about the honeymoon.

We ordered our cake flavours the other day we are having cherry/chocolate flavour. We aren’t actually handing our cake out at the wedding or serving it up as dessert. We will cut it just for pictures and then because all my family will be over from the east we are having a brunch the next day and we will hand out the cake then just to close friends and family. I know I am going to get some strange looks from people about this on the day but I just wanted something special for my family for coming over and I though this was a nice idea. I will make sure Joel’s parents/grandparents get some though.

Have had some more dramas with my MOH to cut a very long story short she can not make the rehearsal/dance lesson or my hen’s night – which now has been cancelled. Her reason’s are justified to an extent but she is just acting like she didn’t know anything about the wedding until a month ago and making comments about how she hope I only get married once and a few other snide remarks.

I’m heading to the reception place today to finalise some details and then tomorrow I have my final dress fitting.

I think i'm crazy

It’s all weddings a go-go in my house atm, it’s so funny how family/friends change when there is a wedding around the corner some surprise you at how kind they are and you never thought they would be interested others turn out fucking crazy when you really didn’t except but then sometime I have to admit I knew all along there would be dramas how could there be not.

Anyway we had tastings of our mains for the menu last weekend and it was soo yummy. We are having a choice between Entrecote of Scotch Fillet served with a onion and red wine jus with a potato and herb cake it also has a pastry puff triangle and little beans wrapped in bacon and Baked Emperor Fillet - With a herb spring onion and sweet potato rosti finished with chermula spiced prawns and salsa verde.

MMM so good, and they look divine as well.

I have been pigging out like crazy this week I blame laziness and being stressed about everything, I can’t believe I thought it would be a great idea to plan a wedding, build a house and plan an overseas trip all at the same time the only one thing good about it will be I guess it will be all done, then I will have nothing to plan. MMM well I might be planning something already but we will see on that.

I’m going to set myself a mini goal of losing 5kg before the new year, I can’t loose too much more than that or I’ll be paying $500+ for alterations on my dress.

Joel just informed me we are going bowling tonight YAY! Haven’t been in so long should be good ha ha

THE DRESS

Had my 3rd dress fitting last night. I can really start to imagine what it is going to look like at the end. There is still a lot to do with putting on all the beading, pearls and buttons and all the other finishing touches but I’m really starting to picture it and I can’t stop thinking about it I took pictures, but I’m only going to share the one of the back, because there is still a lot to do at the front yet, all the front was basically unpicked and then pinned again cos I didn’t like the way it was sitting at first it was too a-line now it’s a little more fitting to show off my curves, I want to flaunt them and I don’t want to tarnish your views of it plus I guess it’s a little teaser he he.



So we are:

Let's play house

Grrr I'm sick again, i can't believe i just can't seem to shake this frickin piece of shit flu thing.

I can't believe it's Thursday already how fast as the week flown by?

Work has been hectic because my boss become ill, something that he was meant to get fixed like 5 years ago and never did, so Wednesday i get a call from him telling me he is on his way to the hospital. So i have been holding down the fort while he is away, although it's not too bad there have been some dramas with wages, i didn't get paid until this afternoon when i normally get paid yesterday, such a pain, no ones fault but still a pain.

Mum went past our little block today and said that the bricks were all there and they had started putting up windows, so exciting it seems like only yesterday the slab went down. So before we know the bricks will be all up hopefully. Going down on the weekend to check it out and take some pics :)

YAY! it's Friday

This day has seemed to go on forever. YAY! It’s nearly over and it’s the weekend.

Tonight I am going out with the boy and heading to a movie, which will be nice I feel like I have been non stop busy this week.

Tomorrow night I’m meant to be heading out to a birthday with a 60’s theme, I am trying to get out of it so I can go out with Arna, Kenz and Phillipa. Hopefully I can get out of it I think I am 95% out of it YAY! Mmm but I have to wear the dress I got for the 60’s party cos I got it especially for this and it was $130, it’s a little bit like a shift dress style I spose. So I hope I look ok to go out with the girls, oh well I’ll be retro lol.

Found out today I’m heading to Albany for work in about 3 weeks, I have never been to Albany so I’m a bit excited about it but nervous too cos I hate those little planes, they quite frankly scare the shit out of me. My sister works in the mines and always has to go on one, so it mustn’t be that bad.

Hope Everyone has a Great Weekend! xxx

A whole lot of nothing really.

He He i have been told to update, so here i am updating lol.

Weightloss lets not even go there, i'm not loosing but not gaining either(well i am a little but not that much) I just really don't want to talk about really.

Wedding stuff is going great hopefully next apopintment i can take pics and show you the progress of the dress. I have been trying to organise my hen's night orginally i was going to have it at a bar, but i just don't have enough people to do that so now i am doing something at home cocktails and a little burlesque anyone? It will be fun and then after the people that what to go out can. I have already decided on the cocktails of the evening - Peach bellinis and Cosmos just to tempt your taste buds lol. I hoping i can do a few little surprise through out the night too, too make it different - no strippers. Isn't it lovely how i am organising it all on my own, i do have a few other people helping me but most of it myself, i wish i had a BM that would do this for me 1. cos i am lazy and 2. it would be nice ha ha. Oh well i guess i get what i want this way.

Last weekend was so busy and this weekend is shaping up to be the same :( i need to just relax!

I think i may leave early, yup on that note i'm shutting down my computer and heading home
:-)

slice of heaven oooo

I hate choosing titles, so this was the song that was just on the radio lol

So this week I have started back at curves. I went in thinking oh this will be easy, it's only been 3 months since I was last here. How wrong was I? Very to say the least I was aching all over but went back Tuesday and it wasn't too bad still a bit sore though especially my arms, today i'm hoping it be better. I hoping to get back in the routine of going 5 times a week, this is what I was doing before, I can't even remember why i stop going to curves cos i was getting results, I guess pure laziness, NO i know it was laziness. I hate that I'm the kind of person gets results for a couple of months then gets lazy and goes back to old habits. I'm going to try so hard to make this time different.

I went past our block of land today, and next door to us have already had there slab all layed out I hope we are not far away from getting ours done but I haven't heard anything. If i haven't by the end of the week I'll call to find out what's going on, I'm so impatient lol. I just want our house to be built already.

In other exciting news ALL our flights for the US(our honeymoon) have been booked and payed for WooHOO. I only have a small amount left to pay on the accomadation and then we are all set. We are having a travel registry for our wedding but you have to pay everything first, so basically whatever we get we get to take with us to the US which is a bonus. SO New York, LA and Las Vegas watch out :)

much happier!

Went for my first fitting of THE dress again today, because when I went last week the torselette(sp?)I had bought was wrong. This time was all was good, and I have decided I am having straps on my dress now. I’m really happy about it for some reason before I was totally against (don’t know why) but I’m really happy with the affect it gives and it does wonders for my arms :lol: now I just have to decide if I’m going to have tulle straps or lace and I still can’ decide about veil. She is also making the v and the back a little lower and it looks beautiful, sorry for gushing I’m just so happy I was bit upset with what had been happening and now I’m getting all excited about it now.

Update on Tragedy’s(the MIL2B) outfit. She changed it and the one she chose this time around is a lot better her daughter must of said something, although her daughter hates the dress she has now. Anyway it’s much better than the hot pink number she was going to have before. But still I have no idea why she was looking at BM dresses, because she showed my all these brochures and they were all BM ranges. Oh well, who knows what goes through her mind.

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for red blotches on the chest. I always get this when I’m nervous/stressed out. Today cos I was nervous I went all sorts of red on my chest and of course it looked all kinds of wrong with the dress. Obviously I know this is going to happen on my wedding day, so just wondering if any one else experiences this, and what do they do?


Had a blast on Friday night, it was great meeting some Perth bloggers. It truly was a great night.

excited

My fitting the other day basically didn’t happen so after they told me to buy a corset which I did but apparently I don’t need one I just need a bra they can sew into the dress,*rolls eyes* it’s so annoying. Yesterday I spent an hour trying to find the right one so that on Monday it can go all as planned and I don’t have to go back again. I got a few cos I’m so confused now, so hopefully one of the ones I chose is the one.

Going to a bloggers dinner, I’m fairly new to the bloggers world. So it is really exciting to meet some fellow Perth bloggers.

I have decided that I’m going back to curves I loved it when I went earlier this year I was going 5 days a week, so tomorrow I’m back on the fitness wagon. I’m actually really pumped, exercise when you get into routine actually make you feel great, who would of known lol.

Hoping for better times.....

I'm leaving work early today, YAY!

It's always good to leave work early even if your not going home.

I'm going for a wedding dress fitting, my first since May i think. I think it is only the calico again, but i'm not too sure maybe they have done some of the top of the dress. I'm really hoping my experience is good this time i have to say that i haven't been excatly impressed with the way i have been treated the times i have been there before. I mean every bride should be treated well, and the lady/designer i'm going through has a very good name. Last time i went there i had an appointment and i was waiting there for an hour and a half no one said sorry or anything it was just like we will see you soon. I was fuming.

so wish me luck for today he he :)

trying to get back on it

Went out on Saturday night, Joel had a footy thing we had to go to(free drinks YAY!), and then i headed into Northbridge to meet up with some girlfriends. Had a great time i was already a little pissy before i got there and then after a few too many jager bombs it was time to go home. Felft pretty good on Sunday considering how much i had drunk the night before.

I'm trying to get my head back into the weightloss thing, i have lost about 7.8kg which is great but now i have found i have lost the motivation to keep going which is silly cos i was going so well, i just hate the fact that if i want to go out to dinner with the boy i really need to analyse where we are going, making sure they have "healthy options" and why can't i have the piece of chocolate cake like everyone else. One thing that irks me is the boy's family they always try to feed you and if you don't eat it you are rude or something is wrong with you.

Wedding and house are coming along.

woohoo

So another kilo down YAY! thats a 4.4 loss not too shabby. I'm feeling good a skirt i ordered over the net arrived last week and it didnt do up :( this morning i put it on and it does up so im wearing it which is making me feel fantastic.

Still though after all the weigh programs i have been on it is so daunting walking into the room to weigh in, it is just so scary. well it is for me, i pack myself everytime.

Last night we got our first wedding present, ,my nanna and pa who live in melbourne, well all my family do, anyway they got us a washing machine and dryer. I couldn't believe it i was and still am just feel so overwhelmed by it all, it's just such a generous offer. So on Saturday we have to go pick it up from Harvey Norman and put it in our already full storage untit which is going to fun fun fun lol. We have so much stuff, it's crazy i counted i have 9 dinner sets and over 40 coffee mugs ha ha i will never have to buy another dinnerset in my life. What i am planning on doing is when our house is finished getting built i will go through everything and all that i have doubled up on i will give to my sister. I found it funny i don't have a glory box i have a glory storgae unit, which has everything you can think of in it, but i'm glad my mum and i have bought all this stuff now, because it means we will have a brand new house with all new things. It will be just like christmas opening all the boxes, basically everything has never been opened. we even have new couches in there and everything. We were very spoilt at our engagement party. Here is a picture of my boy and i at our engagement last year and a pic of me from it:








Thanks cara for the link, i'm currently saving pictures from it now lol.

bridezilla... me???

Grrr i am so annoyed i had my hair trial last night, 2nd one so far. There are no photos because i ripped my hair out after she left and had my first real bridezilla moment lol. Ok so this lady did they wasy i wanted the bridesmaids hair perfect but mine she just cant seem to get it right and it just made me so mad so i had the biggest sooky tantrum. I will admit that i am nal about my hair it just needs to be perfect and i know that we will be getting married in 40 degree heat so i need to be careful of what i choose. So if anyone has any goos hair websites, or nice up do's please let me know, because i am already starting to panic that my hair will look shocking on the day.

On a happier note last night a friend came over afterwards and totally cheered me up, she bought me the cutest compact mirror that says bride on the front, it is just so cute.

Eating this week has been great so hopefully a loss tomorrow.

And i just found out i am now going to the cristina concert which is great i wanted to go but tickets sold out so fast but my friend has a spare and has said i can come along woooooo! so excited.

My whole day has been looking well trying to look up nice hair styles, so i might just countine to do that.

Maybe i should tell you a little bit about myself.

I'm a 23 year old who is constantly thinking people are looking at me because of my weight. Paranoid much, i know but i just can't help it. I never was like this until about 6 months ago when i realsied how much weight i had put on and then made a consious effort to change it. Well it's taken me a while but i'm fianlly here and trying to loose the weight.

I live south of the river in Perth, but i'm from Melbourne and one day i hope to move back there if i can convince the boy ha ha. He was born and raised here and before he met me he had never been out of WA. We are getting married in January 2008 and i'm so excited but maybe more excited about the honeymoon we are going to New York, LA, Las Vegas.

Getting married has shown who my real friends, my best friend that i have known since i was 10 when she found out i was getting married she really wasnt excited and throughout the year has really shown she just doesnt care. It really hurt me alot at first in her defence she does not like weddings but to me i just wanted my bestfriend to help me out, but she just didnt want to and if i asked for her help i would get told im a dictator. But i'm lucky that i have a couple of friends one that doesn't even life in perth that is so willing to help and is so excited for me. so that has helped.

Oppps i'm going off in all different directions here lol.

So anyway i have my hair trial tomorrow so hoping she can do what i want.

Here is a picture of my wedding shoes:

busy bee

My first weigh in last week on SS i lost 2.4kg and this week i only lost a kilo, but in total so far 3.4 YAY!

Nothing much has been happening. just really busy at work, and then i get home and i have a millon things to do. Which is fine, but sometimes i just wish there wasn't so much going on. Well i spose thats what you get when there is only 6months to go towards the wedding.
Sureslim is going great, having no problems at all on it. I just keep thinking how hot i'll look in my dress ha ha sorry very vain i know.

What else to tell you, mmm i'm having a hair trial next week so i hope she can do what i want. if not i think i'm going to fire her, even though i feel bad about it cos i have booked her in and paid her money but i'm really having my doubts if she can do pull off the look i want and i really dont need to be thinking about that on the day. bring on the hens night i say lol, i need a drink but cant drink on sureslim lol. imgaine how drunk ill be if i dont drink till the hens night, well 2 cocktails and ill proably pass out woooooo. ha ha

So nothing planned for the weekend as yet i don't think, just see what happens i guess.

I'll try and get a picture of my hair and post it up. well thats if anyone is reading out there lol.

xoxox

slack

Ok i should really update, how slack of me.

I have recentley joined sure slim i started on sarturday, i weigh in on friday arghhh how scary!.

About Time

Well i thought it might be time to maybe actually bolg on this thing.

I'm getting married in January and i am trying to loose weight, on top of that i am planning a honeymoon and building a house. So it is a very busy time for me right now, but exciting too.

I joined curves gym 4 weeks ago(this friday) and have my first weigh in this Friday, i feel alot less tired and have so much energy so hopefully the scales and measurements show that. I'm pretty much following the WW eating plan.

So till this friday i spose.
