Caffeine v Celaprim and the Wedding Musings (mutterings) of the Inanely Insane



Okay, so I know you've ALL been waiting with bated breath (or a vague memory of my internet blip somewhere back in your cortex...or wherever it would be) for the next installment, but first I have to list my excuses. Yes, you will have to read them all so you know I didn't desert you in favour of a new pastime just yet.

1st -  Just after my last blog regarding Cyclone Anthony I believe, Cyclone Yasi came thundering towards the QLD coast and I did what any other (total sook) would do and headed for the hills (figuratively speaking).

2nd - Came back and had a big meltdown and decided I was not going to participate in anything but the necessities of life for a while

3rd - Got REALLY busy with the necessities, got over my tantrums and thought HOLY CRAP - I'm getting married in less than 8months...and I haven't really done ANY planning at all!!


So then, on with the blog.....today I'll upload what I'm aiming for with our wedding...please feel free to comment and suggest anything you think will be awesome...I will flog your idea off as my own, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing everyone thinks I'm super-clever because of you ; )

Dress and veil:






oh how I love those shoes also but it's too hot for stockings when I'm marrying...and I am NOT wearing pointy white eighties Billy Idol pumps without the stockings....then it's not cool and different, it just looks like I got my shoes from the op shop (thrift shop if you're not Australian)!! THEREFORE, I will be wearing these lovely things below:


The closest thing I could find to some awesome Manolo Blahnik's that were in like 3 years ago...but outta my price range anyways at $550 or something ; ) Big thanks to  www.fairyshoeprincess.com for finding these babies after I had all but given up hope for yellow shoes!!!






Wouldn't want to be taken tooooo seriously right....hehe


this hair, but less boofy out to the sides though...hanging limply would be a better option ; )
 
 and these eyes with much lighter lips...it is a daytime wedding after all (I don't know if my skintone is even enough to pull off the 'doe' look though!) 



 invitations....they look brighter in real life







RINGS - tralala...they had to match (thanks to yours truly's OCD tendencies) and Shannon wouldn't have white gold...so concave and different colours it is....lovely!!


picture these hanging out of the trees with tealight candles in them for the reception, with the balloons like below hanging like clouds about 4ft above wine glasses, with the yellow lanterns (decorated with black paisley by moi and the fox girl if she pleases!) accenting here and there....I can't WAIT!

 
 Soooooo want a fauxto booth....how bloody fun does that look!!? I'm sure my awwwwesome photographer will be able to help me figure out how to set it up (cough!cough!)







A single layer about this height with a similar paisley pattern piped in black randomly around, topped with awesome yellow coloured pistachio flavoured MACAROONS!!! Oh yeah.....who needs a honeymoon suite?


something along these lines (it's STONE ..not beige...not grey, STONE!)
I wanted something more like this but with proper pants, not JEANS of course....but my lovely fiance clearly doesn't know ANYTHING at all about being cool, so I will have to compromise and allow something more like the first one (he wanted like creamy beige and THONGS can you believe....only leather thongs though...truly upperclass flip flops!!!)


Alright, obviously there will be more (like how my nails will be black, the awesome fringed wedding lingerie I found, the black and white pinwheels lining the aisle and the little daisy bunches hanging off the chairs etc etc etc) but I can't bore you with ALL the details! Even I don't have the mental stamina for it! Sayonara for now...but just so you know....caffeine was the victor (thank GOD!)
