The dress that Dani bought

OK! Sooo.. above is my dress. The dress. The dress I have stressed over. The dress I saw in purple and fell in love with. The dress that I totally didn't mind was not a huge arse merrange (sp?) The dress I will become Mrs Green in. I totally love it. I mean, yes I am huge and it is a floor length white satin dress, but I am totally happy with it- and just so so happy it arrived and hardly needed ANY alterations (this shot is before alterations- have just had the straps moved up a little to accomodate my smallish for my huge frame boobs) Also, if we can please note that I was fighting the period bloat severe and it was one of those freakish 36 degree days Melbourne had the other week.
So. It feels like I JUST realised I am getting married. So very exiciting. I am almost organised. We have rings, my dress, bridesmaid dresses, flower girls dresses, the reception organised, cake ordered, flowers ordered, vows penned (but not learnt hehe) suits are being done tomorrow..umm.. veil done, wedding jewelery done, shoes done, hair trialled and booked, makeup booked, hotel booked.... only things I can think of left are the bonbonierre (which I am assembling little white noodle boxes and glueing a strip of green ribbon around them, I have done maybe 1/4 so far? Am doing a few whenever I get a sec to sit down and watch TV or something at the moment. I then need to fill them with green foiled chocolates eclairs, green sugared almonds, mini mentos and a green foiled pink lady chocolate frog haha) oh yes, that and finalise the music list. Am soo lucky my aunt and uncle run a mobile DJ business, we are making up a dinner music playlist and a dancey playlist for them and they will be enjoying the wedding whilst the music runs itself. Sooo.. next week will be finalising those two things and learning these vows. Oh and practising some slick dance moves with ABL haha.
In other news I went shopping last night and bought this cute as black asymetrical black top that I may wear with so-skinny-i-can-barely-breathe jeans and cute peep toe heels to my work christmas party tomorrow night- either that or the hot as snakeskin print thrifted dress, but I am thinking jeans as it is going to be a shitty as 16 degrees in melbourne tomorrow and come on- I work in the transport industry and will be hardcore drinking with drivers in a pub- I think the jeans are looking good right now yes? I did buy a sexy pair of gold and brown jewelled shoulder duster earrings last night from Diva- really nice. Will wear these with my brown chunky wooden beads I think. I am in love with a gold coiled snake cuff from Diva, but \I think large bingo wing arms and cuffs don't match :-( I will show my mum tomorrow when we go shopping and see what she says. Tomorrow I am heading to one of the MANY sales the good old Toll clients have been sending us fliers about- the Max factor/CoverGirl/Boujous sale. Am excited. It is meant to be pretty darn tootin' cheap and I am on a mission- need some severely good coverage foundation, mascara and a neautral pretty pink lipfinity for the wedding. I am going with my boss and my mum- both around same age- which is kind of weird but kind of cool. These sales are soo awesome- am so sad I have no money at the moment- I am talking 40% of Sheridan sheets, $30% off Joanne Mercer shoes etc etc. So sad. Oh well, I have done the charitable thing and forwarded to all my friends. Grr...
Ohh one more thing- saw a totally awesome looking fellow fatty last night shopping- wearing black leggins, a cream sweater dress and tan just-under-the-knee boots- she looked sooo amazing. Who are you?? I want to be your friend hahah. Please contact me! lol

The dress is beautiful. You look beautiful, and that's without hair, makeup and whatever else brides are supposed to do.

Really lovely. Hope your wedding day is something special!
