So if you missed the second to last post, I'm engaged y'all.
And not in that Britney-Spears-55-hour-long-marriage kind of engaged. It's taken us 6 and 1/2 years to get here.
This is what I actually did, right after Feyoncé proposed:
Fucking Awesome, right?
Okay, not really... but that IS me and I actually did that in Jamaica a few years ago, and it was the most fun I had had (had had?) in years.
Also? I look terribly sexy in shorts and black sport socks.
It's okay to feel a little jealous inside. (Go ahead, watch it again, you know you want to)
Now... I am not, by any means, planning to turn this into a wedding blog, but let me tell you there is some seriously effed up shizz in the wedding world. I will be touching on some of what I have already experienced in my quest to find an affordable dress, and all that jazz.
When searching for a veil online, I came across this photo of "flower girls"
The "girl" on the right should maybe not be wearing the cleavage-displaying, pedophiliac delight as she appears to be. Tell me I am not the only person troubled by that photo? And lefty seriously looks like s/he could be a dude with waxed arms. Just sayin'.
I searched Kijiji for wedding dresses. (Kijiji is the cheap bastard's eBay - it's free to list and so people will list just about anything).
Found this gem, posted for you ladies out there in need of a throwback to 1982:
I know, awesome right? You're welcome. All for the low price of $75. I think the sales pitch should have been "awesome costume for 80s-themed Halloween party!!".
One additional note. I went into Heirlooms Bridal Shoppe in Dundas, Ontario, just to see what they had in store. I asked the sales associate what, if anything, they had in my price range.
She literally looked at me like I had just shat in the front doorway. And she turned her nose up, as if it smelled like I had just shat in the doorway. She then had the nerve to SCOFF at me, and say:
"Well, we have some very PLAIN dresses here. They are about (twice your budget)" as she lazily sifted through a few "destination" dresses at the front of the store.
Wow.
Haughty, snotty bitch.
The wedding industry is like the rich girl/cool kid club, and I am SO NOT ONE OF THOSE.
I promptly told her I would look elsewhere. GAH.
p.s. I did find a dress somewhere else, within my budget.
p.p.s. Trying to find a wedding dress when suffering extreme fatigue is not fun, time consuming, and exhausting. Just letting you know.

| You might have had better luck selling this dress about 30 years ago (you know, despite it's seasonal versatility and pet-free home and everything). |
