I have my wedding dress!
Go eBay, Go eBay, Go, Go, Go eBay!
It's even more beautiful than it is in the pic, and it's already been altered to fit my measurements. $56 on eBay plus $8.65 shipping. Oh fuck yeah. I just need to have the length taken up because it's too long and I'm a short little midget.
It also came with a matching wrap, which I'm going to cut up. Some of it is going to be mailed as a swatch to my mom if she'll make my flower girl's dress to match, some of it is going to make a matching garter, and some of it is going to make a little vintage-style half hat with a slip of fishnet or tulle for a little veil. I'm also adding an ivory faux fur collar to the dress.
So yay! I'm so excited!
My ring should be here this week too. And I finally told my family. I'm all engaged and shit! :P

Re: I have my wedding dress!
That's a beautiful dress, Yek. And so freaking cheap, OMG! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Have you guys set a date yet? I'm really happy for your two, y'all sound like you're great together. :)

Re: I have my wedding dress!
Thank you! It looks like October, but we can't set a date in stone until we put down a deposit on a venue, and we're still browsing for a good venue. There are a few places we like, but we still need to look at two of them (and of course, make the money for the deposit). I hope we can lock the date down soon so I can send pretty save-the-date cards!

Re: I have my wedding dress!
I looooove red wedding dresses and the various traditions behind them.
Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!!!

Re: I have my wedding dress!
Nice dress. Post pics of you in it. ;D

Re: I have my wedding dress!
;D Thank you!!
My family probably thinks I'm going with red for the Hollywood glam and Asian traditions (I've always been fascinated with Chinese culture). In actuality I'm stoked and proud to be a social harlot. For my first wedding, when I was a deluded little good-girl marrying a nice boy my parents loved, I wore a white dress. This time I'm a grown woman, a stripper, a swinger, a writer of kinky fiction, and a proud member of the whore class... and I'm wearing a fucking RED LIGHT at my wedding because I want to!

Re: I have my wedding dress!
congrats! It makes me happy knowing someone is in love and getting married. I remember when you first came to sw you were unsure of your relationship because he wasn't jewish, which is understandable. But it is commendable that you two are in love anyway and all rules get thrown out the door.
Not sure what im trying to say other than I am happy for you! yey!

It's beautiful, and you're going to look smoking hot at your wedding. Best wishes to you and K. All that knotdotcom planning paid off. ;D
Are you getting married in Memphis?

Re: I have my wedding dress!
May I just say, I love the fact you're not wearing white. Not everybody looks good in stark white and blondes especially look smoking hot in red! You're going to glow :goodvibes
