If The Shoe Fits

Shoes make me happy. Well, pretty ones, that is. The fugly ones just make me cringe and wonder who buys those things anyway.

For our wedding, I decided to put off the shoe hunt until after we've made our decision on who would make my gown. This way, my shoes and gown would at least match. Reasonable, right? Super.



But I've already bought my shoes :)

In all fairness, I didn't look around for them. I found them waiting for me on my lunch break.

I was working outside the office one day when I decided to grab some lunch at the nearby mall. As with any REGULAR person, I window shopped a bit, stopping here there to look at the displays. Suddenly, my eyes caught a distinctly red "Sale" sign on one of the stores. I couldn't resist. I went in and checked the sale rack.

And there they were, all pink and satiny, begging me to try them on.

I was floored. I mean, they were pink. And perfect. And totally within our budget. How could I resist?



So I didn't.

Suiting Up

For the past few weeks, Dodie and I have been having discussions (and when I say discussions in our world, they're usually arguments) about whether or not he should buy a new suit or barong for our wedding. He says he doesn't need to and can wear the suit he's worn to other events instead. I say he has to.

Call me frivolous or extravagant, but I do want Dodie to look his best on our wedding day. He is, after all, the groom.

Dodie and I both agree that he's going to wear either a suit or a tux. So why the "discussions"?

Yep, you guessed it. Our budget.

Dodie has always been the more practical one between the two of us. But I figured we could make an exception just this once because it was our wedding. And besides, we're spending quite a hefty amount of money on my dress already. What's a little more for his? And it's not like it can't be used again. His suit or tux can be used at other events, while my dress, for the life of me, can't. (Oh God, I'm beginning to sound like a whiny brat.)

Maybe I'll just buy a suit for him on my own. Then he won't be able to do anything about it. Tee hee.
