Well, that's done and I'm married. I don't have any photos right this second because I didn't take any on my camera - my father in law is a wedding photographer and was just chomping at the bit to do photos and I couldn't refuse him, especially since he regularly charges thousands of dollars to do them :)
He's SUPPOSED to email me photos soonish so...I told him not to waste any time doing touchups since I can do them myself but he probably will anyway.

Look, okay, I realize me deciding to get married was kind of a spur of the moment thing but for the love of GOD why does it have to be so arduous to find a damn dress in a size that isn't 24W or 00? THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.
I absolutely didn't want a white dress but I thought surely I could find some kind of mother of the bride type thing in purple or deep blue EASY AS PIE. NOPE.
I ended up getting something in sapphire blue that I like well enough but I paid more than I wanted to for it. The only saving grace is that I can wear it to the opera or to perform in instead of black, so >.>
Of course the sales women were no help, because they kept pulling prom dresses even though I'm A) Almost thirty (I guess I don't look it?) and B) I SAID I WANTED A DRESS FOR A WEDDING. Also don't flatter me by trying to pull a 12 off the rack to see if it will fit. You know damn well I'm a 16-18 and sometimes a 20 if it's cut narrow in the bust.
*headdesk*
I did get new makeup (some of the MAC Archie collection that made me think of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
merridia) today to make up for this horrible experience. And a blue silk blouse that reminds me of MacKenzie McHale.
