Dream Dress

So I promised myself I wouldn't be a bride-y bride, meaning I wouldn't be caught up in the material aspects of the wedding. Instead, I'd focus on the marriage. And while I am still focused on the marriage...I found my dream dress.

Look at that victorian styled coat! And the black belt on the otherwise traditional white dress. The embroidery. And in case you didn't notice it, THE COAT. The designer is Justin Alexander, and my local bridal shop actually carries his work. I'm going down there tomorrow to request a sample of this dress to try on. I have no idea how I'll afford it, but I have to have this dress. Once I saw it, I started crying and damn near hyperventilating. And that is NOT me, normally. I am in love with this dress. 

I need to marry J in this dress. I can see it so clearly in my mind. 

I wish it was winter. I don't enjoy summer.

Macabre Flowers

This blog is hopefully going to be a semi-interesting outlet for me to share my life. I am, in no particular order, a police dispatcher, a fiancee, and a soon to be stepmom. I life with my soon to be husband and his 3 year old daughter.

We're getting married in Las Vegas in 4 months!

So I'm hoping to write about our wedding as it falls into place, and to write about what it's like to be a stepmom. I like "gothic" things (although I hate that term for some reason, it just reminds me of being 13 years old and crawling around the mall)...so consider this your macabre mama blog. I'm not really all that creepy, even if the Grim Reaper is our wedding ceremony officiant.

Enjoy!
