Pick My Wedding Shoes, Okay?

To contact us Click HERE

So, I have scoured the whole internet.  Ordered designer shoes on sale.  Returned designer shoes because they were too tall.

Apparently, cobalt blue satin shoes are hard to find.

Comfortable, non-cheap, non-expensive, blue satin wedding shoes.

It is the holy grail.

And I give up.

So, I'm having a pair of shoes made.  There are shoes that can be literally custom made, ones that have custom ornaments and embellishment, and then the ones that are mostly made and you just dye them.

The custom ones... too many options.  I wish I had done this a year ago when I was more enthused with decision-making.  I'm leaning towards a pre-made option.

There are 4 shades of blue to choose from, but that's a whole different problem.


So, I'm not 100% in love with all of these shoes, but I do like them all.  I think, in blue, some of them could be perfect.

They are all about 3.25 inches.  (#1 is 4" but has a platform.)

I know they are kinda crappy quality photos, but that's all there is on the site. 

Pick a shoe, any shoe. 

Also, in YOUR experience, is a slingback more comfortable than a whole-backed-shoe?  I think so, but maybe I'm wrong.  I think a whole-back-shoe has to be broken in a bit more.

Pick my shoes.  Please and thank you.

Health Alert: Pesticides and Food Allergies

Dichlorophenols are chemical compounds commonly found in pesticides and used for tap water chlorination. A recent study of 10,438 Americans showed 24.4% had dichlorophenols in their urine. Researchers found those with dichlorophenols in their urine were more likely to suffer from food allergies. Further research is needed to determine whether or not dichlorophenol exposure is a cause of food allergies.

We have to do something, it's not an option.
- Paul

Bride: What about the girl.
Sam: What girl?
Bride: The one you met last new year's eve.
Are you gonna meet her tonight?
Sam: It was a year ago, we've all moved on.
Look at you two... a married.

You walked-out on me Daniel, 
I think that says it all.
- Laura

I'm dying, I'm not deaf.
- Stan

I've been hanging on this long so I can see the ball drop. One more time.

I'm over it, and I'm over you.

Duncan: Excellent. Sweet.

Hello, I'm Claire Morgan of the Time Square Alliance
and has you all concede the ball has stop half way to its perch.
It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne 
and celebrate the new year. 
To stop and reflect on the year that has gone by.
To remember both our triumphs and our missteps,
our promises made and broken. 
The times we opened ourselves up to great ventures
or close our self down for fear of getting hurt, 
because that's what new year's is all about. 

Getting another chance, a chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, 
to give more, to love more, and stop worrying about what if,
and start embracing what would be. 

So when that ball drops at midnight, and it will dropped, 
let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other, 
and not just tonight but whole year long. Thank you.
- Claire Morgan

You don't mess with serendipity.
- 

Did maturity just walk into the room?
- Sam's mom

Don't forget second chances they don't expire until midnight. Okay?
- Claire

Sam: You showed up.
Kim: You showed up.
Sam: You look beautiful.
Kim: Well, I have a year to get ready.

Sometimes it feels like there's somethings in this world that we can't control.
Earthquakes, floods, reality shows.
But it is important that we remember the things that we can.. 
like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts, because the one thing 
that turns the world from a lonely place to a beautiful place.. is love.
Love and any of its forms. Love gives us hope. Hope for the new year.
That's new years eve to me. Hope and a great party.

This is the first place we met,
so.. this is the place we have to say goodbye.

People have their own lives, they get busy.
- Jane

They're all beautiful it's just that 
Hugh is very particular, 
and every thing has to be perfect.
- Jane

No I'm not trying to convince you, 
you know, it's a fact.
- Jane

All I know is it 
I have a man who looked at me like that
I would never get out of bed.
- Psychologist, Jane's friend

I grow up.
Everybody has to grow up Michael, 
everybody but you.

Michael: Oh, God I'm dying.
Old man in the Park: You're not dying but you're broken heart.
Michael: Why is it hurts so much? 
Old man in the Park: It's just means, you're human.

The right choice isn't always the best choice Jane.

The world is hard as it is guys.
It's f*cking hard as it is.
Can somebody say "hey, let's be positive."
"Let's have a good ending to the story."
- Pat

(My Cherie Amour playing)
Pat: Is that song really playing?
Receptionist: We have music sometimes.
Pat: That song is killing me.
Can you please turn it off.

Receptionist: I can't.
Pat: What do you mean you can't?
Receptionist: I don't have the controls.
I'm sorry.

A one incident can change a lifetime.
- Dr. Patel

True love is about letting her go and see if she returns.
In the mean time, if you listen to that song,
I don't want you to fall apart.. so get strategy, okay?
You need one.
- Dr. Patel

Can you say the same about yourself f*cker?!
Can you forgive?
Are you any good at that?
- Tiffany

Dr. Patel: Pat, you have to have a strategy I told you earlier. 
You need to recognize these feelings coming to you,
otherwise you will be sent back to Baltimore.
So when you get these feelings you need to get a quieter place, 
with peace with yourself, how well you can.
Pat: Yeah, but it's easier said than done
Dr. Patel: You have to do it, you have no choice.

I got nothing but love brother.
- Pat's brother

Dear Tiffany,

I know you wrote the letter...
the only way you can meet my crazy (is by doing something crazy yourself). 
Thank you. I love you.
I knew it the minute I met you.
I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up.
I just got stuck.

Pat

Wedding Wednesday: It's Official

To contact us Click HERE

As of last week, Mr. RH and I officially have a wedding date.

September 21, 2013.

 I have booked exactly 1 thing: the church.

In my defense, I had plans to book a reception site and set up meetings with photographers yesterday... but then I got the bombshell of all bombshells at work and I spent most of the day on the couch whining.

Which was a really productive use of my time.

So, I know it's been a bit of a bust around here with regards to wedding-planning... but let's hope I get that straightened out soon. 

Excellent. Only 353 days until my wedding!

 Happy Wedding Wednesdays!
