So, the wedding plans are in full swing. We agreed not to plan or discuss it until after the holiday stress was over. And here we are…

I forgot how much there was to do. The cool part is that I’m not doing it alone. AT is very, very much excited about planning this shindig together. Woot!

In discussions (prior to the holidays), we decided that we wanted to skip all the formal wedding hooha and have a super-awesome party…with a super-awesome live band.. We’ve secured Cristabel and the Jons to play…and THEN it evolved from there. We decided to do the whole wedding/reception with a 1920’s theme.

Yep. Flappers, gangstas, jazz, speakeasies and booze.

And we’re hoping everyone will play the game with us. The boys are excited about dressing the parts.

Finding clothes… uh… that has proven to be tougher than expected. One would first think- go vintage! Uh, not so easy. Aside from the fact that women were very much smaller than most of us today, all the nice dresses that are still wearable and not stained are VERY expensive. Gorgeous, but not gonna happen.

Then, after days of surfing and phone calls… I found a very, very cool shop on eBay. They have “new” vintage dresses, styled from original patterns from the 20’s and 30’s. I found one (well, a few..but picked my fav). Ordered it. It was sitting on my porch 3 days later. The best part? It fits perfect!! Like I tried it on in a store or something. It’s BEEEEAUTIFUL!

We’re not even going to try to find AT a real vintage suit. 6′4. Sheesh.

Let’s see… what else have we done… reserved the location, bought wedding bands, are in talks with food peeps (Time Out Deli, yayah!!)… and we even made our own invitations! Decorations are in the brain-storming process.

Hope time is in our favor.. we still have lots to do. Lovin it!!
