So far... when it rains it pours...

So - due to the reality of the cost of a wedding yes, everything had been postponed...
Slowly but surely were trying to make things happen...

We still have no clue about a venue...
I guess even to get married in a park around here you have to pay $500 for a wedding permit...
LAME!!!! Anyone want to share their backyard?
Or just give us about $5000 so we can go back to the plan of getting married at the W?
Thatd be nice, and much appreciated...

Oh, and my dress... yah - total fail...
we thought we were making a smart move... getting a good deal...
WRONG!!
It came with rips, tears, and holes in the black layers...
lace on the layers instead of satin...
pink/red stains on the white faux satin...
the fabric was insanely cheap...
crooked stitches everywhere... chunks of hanging fabric untrimmed...
it was terrible. I wanted to die... If I wasn't so furious I would have been crying.
Dream dress... yeah... gone.
So now on an already insanely tight budget, I have to fight to get my money back...
AND find a new dress...
I assume something generic and off the rack to get it in time.
Sad, very sad....

On the plus side.... we got our bands!
I was going to get something custom from Etsy...
but the cost was just as much for 3 tiny diamonds as what we paid for this bling...


I absolutely love it... and its really cool how the two metals contrast off eachother...
(titanium engagement ring & white gold band)
and zaqs is so super amazing...
totally him... black... pinstripes...
and one of his favorite features was the silver inlay...
Its so perfectly traditional yet modern & indie rocker dude.



So yeah... another thing off the checklist, so thats good...
but all the biggest stuff...
venue, dress, etc. etc. etc....
still yet to be determined.
Would love some advice!

Perfectly Punk Rock..

Got my dress in the mail today... 

it is THE biggest piece of junk Ive ever seen...

okay, maybe not the biggest... but its horrible... 

After tons of offers from friends and family to make my dream dress...

I had found a shop on ebay that made custom dresses...

they had 99.7 % positive feedback..

not bad right?

Wrong. 

I was so dumb... 

of course, were trying to save every penny we can to make a nice wedding happen...

this was SO not the place to try to be cheap... 

Not even cheap, it was still about $300... 

I could have went to David's Bridal... hit up their sale and gotten an amazing...

tradition... white wedding dress....

but no - thats not me... 

I could try to blow it off... say hey, what the hell... its punk rock right?

jacked up stitches... crappy tulle... crooked, janky and costume like... haha

perfectly puck rock...

But no chance in hell... its that bad guys...

so now I have to beg and plead with the store...

with paypal... and ebay...

try to get my money back... 

while I should be getting to be the beautiful bride...

drooling over my awesome wedding dress...

GOOOO!!!!

Can anything just go right?

Anyways... rant over...

on a plus note...

were still working on plans...

I noticed Halloween is on a Saturday this year... 

though it would be cool to get married that night... 

Itd kinda tie in our skeletons theme... 

Till death do us part, etc. etc. etc...

Still do the black red and damask... just on a cooler date! haha

Zaq brought up vegas alot... save money and what not...

but I wanted to have a nice wedding... not a quickie... haha

so i started thinking of a compromise...

Vegas - Hard Rock Hotel... 

They have 4 different wedding packages... 

and one... the Rockstar, is black red and white with damask!!

How perfect would that be... yeah, i know... perfect.

The perfect meet in the middle... 

mommy gets her cool fancy wedding...

daddy gets to be rock n roll and save some dough, haha

So, keep checking back for plans...

ill let everyone know whats going on soon!
