Checking things off the wedding list!

So, some exciting news!

1.  We now have a reception place, only a couple miles from the church, and we gonna be shakin' our tail feathers all afternoon!
2. I found my heels I am going to wear for the ceremony, and for only $20! The best thing about them, other than the fact that they're comfy, is that I can wear them afterwards, so definitely a good investment.
3. And the biggest announcement... drum-roll please...  I bought my wedding dress!!!!!!! I should have the first set of alterations done by August 3rd, then any tweaking that needs to be done. It should look super cute, and it was a reeeeally good price. =)

One of the next things that we should probably get done fairly soonish is pick the tuxes out. I've been looking around and came up with one I like, here's a picture of it:

 Although I think the cane is a little too much, the outfit has so much class and just exudes Zach's personality.

Lol jk, it's going to be light grey, not green.

Moving on, in amongst the smaller details of little things that "don't matter a whole lot but usually end up being cute", I have most all the materials for the wedding favors, which I'm keeping classified as top secret information. Another small detail that's randomly come up is the small matter of what to do for our "grand exit" whenever we leave the reception. Most people now throw birdseed, on account of all the poor, innocent birds that choked on rice thrown at weddings for however many years.

 

 Let's all take a moment of silence out of respect for these poor innocent birds.

Another idea I got from the internet was in the form of a chart, which as you all know by now, I am going to share with you. 

I'm still pondering it, but leaning towards the Kraken.

Say "What the heck?!" to the dress

So,
Previously mentioned bestie Saxon, along with both of our madres, went out in search of a perfect wedding dress... After hiking through treacherous mountains of white satin and lace, and fending off hoards of wedding-crazed ladies also seeking the "perfect dress" (which I'm not sure actually exists) and slaying fire breathing dragons, we finally came to the conclusion that we are too picky and the cutest dresses we could find are waaay out of the price range that a seemingly normal, sane, individual would consider paying. A little discouraging, but hey, this was only our first time out looking, so maybe something will catch our eye.
According to traditional "wedding laws" I can't legally release to you the evidence of us trying on dresses, even though said pictures are cute, and show how adorable the dresses were. I can, however, share with you an extremely cropped photo sharing only our equally adorable faces:

We're also holding AK47's, but wedding laws prohibit us from showing those off as well.

In addition, getting to see the padres this weekend was really nice! =)

Also, this happened this weekend, it was pretty intense:

Zach defends his parents backyard with a tennis racket, while staring defiantly into the eyes of the wasp who dared enter his realm.

Plans to finalize honeymoon plans somewhere in Mexico are being planned, so hopefully that will plan out soon. Lots of plans going on, it seems. We're hoping to snorkel, hopefully with cute dolphins, sharks, and manta rays. Also, I know Zach is really hoping Chiquita can go, I think I found her an outfit:

Getting started

Greetings fellow carbon based life forms!

Thanks to an awesome Bestie and a boring episode of MasterChef, I was able to figure out how to start/post a blog. (Btw, why is it called a "blog"? Seriously, it sounds like some sort of creature that would crawl out of a swamp and make hideous moaning noises.) Moving on... Soo I became engaged recently to the love of my life, Zachary 'Danger' Dunn (whom I affectionately refer to as my "Dimples") and we're currently planning our wedding, which will be on January 5th, 2013, or as we like to refer to it, A-Really-Long-Dang-Time-From-Now.

So, wedding ideas.

• Sunflowers
• Navy Blue, Yellow, & Gray
• Super cute Groom (Not that I'm biased or anything ;) )
• Awesome Bestie, Saxon and awesome new sister Rachel (who also doubles as our wedding manager...And bodyguard... Lol jk. But really...)

Aaaand that's about all that's set in stone for now.

Although we are tossing around the idea of heading to Mexico, becoming the best looking Banditos out there (cue dramatic scene flashbacks from Once Upon a Time in Mexico) and riding off into the sunset on dolphins, we would like there to be sunflowers involved, so it looks like Oklahoma will have to do for the actual ceremony.

Also, this weekend, heading to look at dresses with the Bestie, and her madre, along with my madre and soon to be madre-in-law. I'd also take Chiquita, my dog, but she prefers gold plated diamond dresses only, so she'll have to sit this one out. Here's a cute picture of her:
