G - Gowns, Gems, and Gâteau

I bought my wedding dress! As much as I'd love to post pictures of it, Mike reads my blog (hi Mike... I love you!) and it was determined that he will not see the dress until the day of the wedding... thus no pictures.

However.

My roommates went with me to pick the dress up, and had a blast trying on things for themselves! Just see for yourself!

Three cute girls in three very different dresses... Ariella's face is the best!

Kenzie's lovely yellow dress... complete with Christmas socks!

Cute! I love this one!

Who'd have thought Ariella would like trying on dresses? ... Not me!

Elizabeth LOVED this dress! She danced all around the store in it, not paying attention to anything around her as she dreamily twirled from rack to rack... it was cute!

Ariella just being silly =)

Kenzie tried on a dress that was so big for her that she could turtle inside of it. We laughed for quite a while!

Cute girlies! =D

Sadie found the dress of her dreams! Doesn't it look fantastic on her??

SO flattering... I love the buttons down the back! And the train, and the fittedness... and everything else!

So... I realized the other day that Mike and I have been engaged for a few weeks and I STILL hadn't posted a picture of my ring yet.

So here you go!

A far away and a close up!

I LOVE my ring... out of literally about 100 rings I tried on, and TONS more that I looked at, this one was my favorite! I love how the wedding band interlocks with the engagement ring part (pictures to come later when I'm allowed to have that part!)

Thank you Mike for letting me pick it out! I love it... and I love you! =)

Along with all the other wedding plans, I've been looking through wedding cake ideas. Nothing official has been decided yet... nothing unofficial either for that matter! However, here are a few ideas I've found that I like. Enjoy!

I don't love the green (obviously... this IS me we're talking about!) but I do like the swoopy, drapiness of it!

SUCH a cool idea! A water fountain on your cake?! I love it!

I actually don't really like this one, I just like the idea of swirls and flowers, but not the way they're done here

Again, swirls and flowers, this time incorperating the drapiness of the first one... at least to some degree. I really do like this cake!

This is probably my favorite! The swirls are just right, and I love the white frosting flowers. Obviously if I had colored flowers, I would do them in blue, because hey, this IS me we're talking about! =)
