I vowed yesterday to not think about weddings. To not look at the knot, to not plan anything, to not even consider who would be in my bridal party or on my guest list. I took a vow and I was doing pretty good sticking to it.**
This morning and yesterday afternoon have kept me busy enough where I haven’t really had the time.
Then I get an email from DC Scout. Now normally, I love DC Scout. They have great deals, and tell us about great stores and some of the stuff they feature is way cute (albeit way out of my price range but that’s okay. A girl’s allowed to dream no?) . Wa Po – you do good by me often. But today? Not so much. The email was this…and it totally threw back to point A. Thinking about it, dreaming about it. Soon enough I will be eating, sleeping, dreaming and talking about nothing but wedding planning. I don’t need to jump the gun anymore than I already have…
Really Now WaPo…. you’re not helping anything with an email like that *sigh*
Is it wrong that I totally want to stop by said sample sale this weekend…for….shits and giggles?? *cough cough*
**I should note to any new readers who may be confuzzled by the wedding talk – i am not yet engaged. However, boyfriend and i have been talking about it on the heavy side and I am expecting him to get down on one knee…dare I say…any day now. *squeee!* So yeah. That’s where this is all stemming from.
*** I should also note that this email was about as helpful as finding this awesome blog DC Nearlyweds – great. Just what I need more wedding planning websites. *sigh*

I got that same email too – like THREE times. I wanted to write back and say “Can you wait until I have a boyfriend to send me this to my inbox? Because now? It’s kind of irrelevant. The first time. Definitely the second, and DARN IT. Get real, the third”.
Nearlyweds. Love it. That’s really cute.
You can’t ignore that writing on the wall!
it’s okay i think about my future wedding too and engagement is not anytime soon. and i’ve had my bridal party set for like a year now, haha.
Wow. You are so ready. Let’s hope the boyfriend comes through in the expected time frame or there may be some serious trauma.
I think you should go! Sample sales are a great place to snag otherwise-unattainable clothes, and I assume at this point you know what kind of dress you want…and how crazy-expensive they can be! On a semi-related note, I had to really rein myself in and avoid buying really great, on-clearance Crane & Co. wedding stationery recently when I was at a shop that was moving to another location. Come on, I totally could have gotten away with keeping it in the trunk of my car until the time was right…right?
Ooh, and also check out Project Wedding– it’s like a smaller-scale version of The Knot, which I am sometimes annoyed with because it seems like their content so rarely changes.
Careful chickadee!
