I feel naked

My wedding/engagement rings are getting re-rodium dipped.

I can't stand not having a ring on my ring finger. It feels odd.

I may have to whip out some old classic to take its place for a while. I'm thinking of bringing out my circa-'98, Viking class ring just for laughs... (Not really.)

* This is not a picture of my rings. I just thought they were pretty.

Contract Schmontract

Per my usual routine (on the days I don't get to take the ipod to work...!), I was listening to the radio this morning. The topic of the segment was that there are actually brides out there who are now demanding that bridesmaids sign contracts to be in their weddings.

Some of the contracts include:

- You will not gain weight.
- You will not get your hair cut.
- You will not get any tattoos before the wedding.

Seriously? Since when did this become a sort of business transaction?

This is completely asinine! If someone were to ask me to sign such a thing, I'd be out of their wedding in a heartbeat. Isn't it about being close? Being friends? Being accepting of loved ones? Being happy they're part of your big day?

Good thing I have such wonderful friends:)

Yay! Compliments of the 'ol Times Herald...

* Sorry M, I had to. Miss Benz, I'm totally on the lookout for yours...

Another beaut!

Dresses for M and C's wedding above.

Picture in black. Very chic.

Can't wait to wear!

Great taste

How beautiful is this dress?!

I'm so excited Ms. Benz!

P.S. The woman does somewhat scare me...

I'm glad I wasn't on the invite list

I'm really not sure how I would have reacted to a life-sized bride cake.

I think I would have done the following:

1. gasped

2. laughed

3. spent the rest of the night wondering what body parts tasted the best

I wonder if her husband requested "You're so vain" as the official cake-cutting song.
