Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ivory silk mikado, hand-embroidered and beaded, chapel-length train that's already bustled three times, and simply beautiful. It's still the One. True. Dress
sighhhhh...
If I lose a thousand pounds could I wear it?
How are you doing your hair? And do your brides maids know they're not allowed to eat things?
Trudes, you could wear it now. I'm certainly no skinny minny.
My hair is going to be half up, half down. The bangs will be swept across the forehead, and the crown will have a little height, because the 120 inch cathedral-length veil (which Mother insisted on) and headpiece needs a sturdy anchor. The sides will be pulled back and blended into the back of the hair, so it looks as if it's being invisibly held back.
And do your brides maids know they're not allowed to eat things?
BWAH! My bridesmaids will not be able to AVOID the food. Hello? Big fat Italian family here? Heh.
the 120 inch cathedral-length veil
I'm a sucker for cathedral-length veils. Love love LOVE them. If I have a church wedding, I'm SO getting one.

It's just as well this is being done professionally, by which I mean someone other than me, as my interpretation of the above would be "Sticking out horizontally".

I love this one too, despite my initial reservations. It's got embroidery and beadwork on it--not plain at all. I picked it up last Friday, and it took my breath away. I'll try and take a picture of it this weekend.
Edited for context.

Not quite. Though I could have used you as my hairdresser in the '80s.
Girls can be silly on occasion.
It's still the One. True. Dress.
It really is breathtaking. I can't wait to see pictures of the wedding! And gorgeous Maria the Bride!
I'm with your Mother. If you're going to have the wedding of weddings a 120' veil is the way to go.
Ack. It took forever to get Leif to sleep tonight and I still need to go to the grocery store, do at least a minimal amount of cleaning, and get to sleep since I need to go to work early tomorrow. I'm starting to feel like things are getting beyond control. The house is turning into a disaster area, the yard is getting overgrown, the cars are in need of regular service and I have no idea where I'm going to get the time to get things back in order.
Also, why does my wife seem upset that I've made a net $700 on my stock trades from my $1900 of investment money since the end of June? That surprised me.
{{{Gud}}}
Does your wife help you around the house? It always sounds like you've got so much of the daily burden on your shoulders?
I would be pretty happy with a net $700, myself.
