Special Delivery + Goofy Pics: OOTD

Wednesdays are always particularly hard for because I have a 7:30 am staff meeting.  Only 30 minutes earlier than usual, but if feels like 3 hours, and I'm usually a full on zombie! Anyhoo, I was getting settled at my desk waiting for my Outlook to load when I received a delightful, yet unexpected special delivery... my Style Your Dream Wedding book! Those of you who follow my Loving Long Distance blog know that I got engaged last week!!! I am still floating on cloud 9, *sigh* but I get overwhelmed every time I even think about planning a wedding!  Is that weird? Am I the only 28 year old woman that truly has no idea what she wants her wedding to look like?  Well, my mom and I headed over to Barnes & Noble last week to skim through a few wedding planning books.  I fell in love with this book, but not the $49.99 price tag.  I decided to delay gratification and buy the book on Amazon.com instead, which of course means I had to wait for it to be shipped.  Well, I received notice from Amazon last night that my package had shipped but did not expect to receive it within 24 hours! Go Amazon!!! And the book was only $34.99, plus free shipping! Can't beat that! This book has a ton of useful information to inspire bewildered brides-to-be like myself... color palettes, stationary paper recommendations and printing methods, fonts, ceremony and reception ideas, etc and it breaks it all down into "wedding styles" --Classic, Beach, Contemporary, Countryside, Garden, Fanciful, and Exotic.  Well, I don't know exactly what I want just yet, but I do know that it falls somewhere between Garden and Countryside... stay tuned to see how it all unfolds (I'm curious myself! ha!)  There is one thing I am sure of.... THE DRESS!  I want strapless and I want one of two silhouettes -- Mermaid or Sheath.
