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.
My laptop survived the keyboard being drenched in whirled chili peppers. OhThankYouSiliconeGod! There is still some key stickage but it survived! I was sure last night (when I was posting from the other room) that I had managed to kill it.
Three hours gone, and I have to meara... Wowza we talk...
I want some narcotics. Damn. Actually, today I need some narcotics.
The having them right now when I need them desperately has me profoundly grateful right now.
did I mention yummy?
And buttery and okay too.
and damn it, she deserves something nice.
She really does. I am all for pampering -t.
MISS CASS, YOU HAVE SOME SHUNNING COMING! I WAS GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU DESPITE YOUR PAST CRIMES!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm all in pain and stuff, clearly temporary insanity...
because of the Trudy/Tiajuana ban which is, alas, not pretend
I saved you from years in prison, and not the soft-core sexy kind either. You got sandals, be grateful for this. Though that border is looking real close these days.
Alright, I was arguable incompetent in Tiajuana, but I wasn't that drunk. In that case it wasn't the booze but the rampant evil.
I admit, there wasn't a lot of tequila involved. It was mostly the open selling of narcotics, sex and pretty much anything.
But there is hope. I used to have a headache almost every day, and a doozy at least once a week.
libkitty, do you know if a neurologists play with tension headaches too? Most of mine are tension-y though the more than occasional migraine pops in just to shake things up.
Watch out, I might start ragging on your cutlery habits next.
Fork in the left hand, knife in the right... What's wrong with this? (Being left-handed, sometimes it comes in handy.)
marry the only man in the world who could possibly love me enough to think my neuroses are cute.
YAY!
If I can't crush at least one person's dreams a day, I'm not living up to my full potential.
Well you did nix my cunning plan to make you my doctor and crush my dream of not having to explain that I would not be talking to a doctor if Advil took care of the pain.
Your wish is my command
Pretty, pretty dress...

Um ... I got nothing. Except, of course, congratulations!!
