About Us

Baltimore, Maryland, United States
I am the funny one, he is the weird one. At least, that's how I see things. He would beg to differ. We make a slightly strange couple - a History-Channel-loving linguist and a Nintendo-loving animator - but somehow we make it work. We met online 4 years ago on a game that we played at the time only to find that we were coincidentally applying to the same university and we lived only 25 minutes away from each other. Maybe it's fate, or maybe we're both too geeky to meet people in the traditional face-to-face manner, but whatever the case, we're getting hitched!

Still waiting

Actually getting started on the planning, so far, seems to be the hardest part of the whole thing. We still don't know how many guests we will have! Of course, I can't even reserve a date if I don't even know if I'm going to have fewer than 20 guests or more than 20 guests.

While I'm just sitting around and waiting for everyone to hurry up and make up their mind, I'm deciding what colors to go with, and what style dress I should shop for. I've been reading plenty of guides on what kind of dress would look best on my kind of figure (tall, slim, not exactly voluptuous). What I have been finding along the way is just how ugly wedding dresses can be. I mean, seriously, some of these dresses put the Top 5 Sluttiest Wedding Dresses of 2009 to shame. On the other hand, I find it ridiculous to spend a fortune on a dress that I will be wearing for about 3 or 4 hours on one day.

I really like the princess-style dresses. You know, the kind of dress that is so poofy that no one can touch you (image from iVillage):


However, my fiance and I will most likely be doing a water-side wedding at Disney, perhaps at Yacht Club or Boardwalk, so that kind of dress may look slightly ridiculous for that setting.

Instead, I might go with either an A-line dress, or a romantic beach style dress (images from Bridal wave, and Dressinsexywoman respectively)




What I found very entertaining to look at was this site with Disney-themed wedding dresses. I have no idea what they cost, but it's probably a fortune.

Oh, well, happy hunting, right?
