Wedding invites

I already have my wedding invites. I am DIYing them. I bought them at AC Moore, bought some navy ribbon, and yellow pearls to spice them up a bit. They are classic white with a pearl border. I like them, but I am not in love with them. They look simple, but pretty. As I was surfing the web I cam across this website: http://www.einvite.com/ . They have a weding sale section for 40% off!!! $60 for 100 invites. Here's a few of my favs...

Here's some of my favs.

Wedding Dress and Accessories

Got my wedding dress from J. Crew. The Rebecca Style on sale plus free shipping. I need it to be altered a little bit, especially the hem...its about 6 inches to long. Its okay though my seamstress is fabuloussss she is going to hem the front and leave the back a little bit longer so i have a sweep train.

Brooch $2 from ebay. I'm going to wear the sash so the bow is in the back and wear this brooch in the front.
Headband from ebay. $5

I'm also wearing a petticoat under the dress so it keeps a little bit more volume. AND future hubby bought me Ralph Lauren pearl necklace, earrings, and bracelet for Christmas that will look unbelieveable with the dress. Nothing is definate yet. I don't even know how the ebay purchases will look with the dress, but for the price I don't care if I need to keep looking.

I have a squirrel in my bedroom ceiling...

So my 7 a.m. wake up call consisted of tiny little pitter patter on my bedroom ceiling. I sprung up and looked at my fiance. I had no idea what it was at first....does my upstairs neighbor have some type of animal up there? Then I realized it was IN the ceiling. The little guy was running around in circles for about 2 hours then crawled up in a corner and started crying. So I finally called my land lord after hopeless time waiting, thinking the little thing would be able to get out on his own. My landlord gave me the number of an exterminator. The exterminator told me "Yeah sure I will be right over" Well after 4 hours of waiting I called my landlord again. This time my landlord said he will be over in 1/2 hour....They are going to set some live traps in my ceiling....I will update you after we catch it...

Friday night wedding
