From Zero to 3 in One Week

So, in a previous post I was at a total loss and hopeless that I would ever find a proper suit for my proper wedding. And now, behold, I have three! And you better just hope that my dancing shoes and the DJ can keep up, because I plan on sweating through all three of them before the night is through!

On a related note, I'm going to S&K Menswear this coming Saturday to pick out the suits for the G-Men ... something with a little tone-on-tone stripe to tickle your eyes.

Bust-a-move, *B*

Wedding Song Requests! - What's your top 5?

We're taking them now!

Tell us your Top 5:
  • Dance Songs
  • Procession/Ceremony Songs (we won't likely be very traditional)
  • Slow Dance Songs --- Ohhhhh, yeah
  • "Honeymooning" Songs - ??

If you can't come up with 5, you are lame, but at least send us one suggestion.

Love you ALL!
-A&B

Boy, are our tongues tired!

... because we just gone done licking a big stack of envelopes. Don't worry, we didn't buy the cheap brand. But seriously, WOW, we spent all week working on these! Super kudos to Shallon Smith for most of the design and fabrication work, though. All we did is the cutting, folding, and stuffing and we've had enough.

Funny, my beer bottle is now stuck to my lip. And, no, that's not normal.

*#^$@& Gargleblastit!

Confound it all!

The only wedding-worthy suit at Briarwood Mall has been sold, and not to me!

Tony and I saw it several weeks ago at Bachrach, and it was pretty pimp with some super-styling shadowstripes. But alas I went back to buy it last night, only to find out my size is gone and the line has been discontinued. Drats! Well, let the search begin again....
