Crazy Mad Brainwave!!!
November 21st, 2009 — ideas, our wedding, outrageous ideas
It’s totally insane- but every time I think about it, it makes me smile! This is usually an indication for me, personally, that something is a good idea…
okay okay, you can stop smirking and shaking your head at me now.
What do you think about me putting a couple of seats at our wedding- four at most- on auction, with the money going to a charity like ADHASA or Bosom Buddies, or a cause we support like “Lent For Liam”?
Is it complete and utter vanity to assume people may actually want to be there “badly” enough to bid on seats- or do you think it may be a fun thing to do for a good cause? Is it too risky in that we may end up with a couple of crackpots in those seats?
I know it may sound completely narcissistic, and my mommy darling literally gaped at me and then hosed herself when I told her what I was thinking… but it really appeals to me!

Of course, if I do decide to go ahead with it, it’ll only happen after I’ve sent out the official invitations so that the people who are already invited don’t have to bid- although they’re welcome to do so anyway!
What are your thoughts?
My First Wedding Nightmare!
November 16th, 2009 — bridezilla, our wedding, planning nightmares
Literally!
I am determined not to be a BrideZilla… but I think my concerns are going to manifest themselves in my dreams! I very seldom remember my dreams at all, but this one was entertaining to say the least.
In my dream, it was mine and my Glugs’ wedding day! It was as if I had jumped forward from now to our wedding day and skipped everything in between- including the planning and organising.
We were supposedly at the venue we had booked and paid for- but it didn’t look like our venue at all!
There were people in the reception “hall”- that looked like a big draped tent, which I so don’t want- but they weren’t the people on our guest-list and there were only about 30 people that I could see! And I vaguely remember my Glugster telling me these were the only people who had turned up!!!
My sisters, who are my bridesmaids, were dressed in the strangest outfits and I couldn’t understand why I hadn’t bought them pretty dresses for the day, and when I asked sister B at some point she just walked away from me. And for some reason we were walking around outside some building in the dust- like we were looking for the door or something.
I don’t remember there being a ceremony at all but that may just be something I forgot by the time I woke up…
It started getting dark in my dream, which seemed to indicate the end of the wedding, and my sweetheart and I were searching for the place we were supposed to sleep! There was sand everywhere, like a farmyard- complete with ducks and chickens, and the two of us were shown that we had to sleep on the floor! We were at least indoors- but it was dreadful!
I was wearing a white dress in my dream too, something without sleeves- but I couldn’t see what it looked like.
One thing I did sense all the time in my dream- was my my Glugster at my side. Most of the time I could sense him holding my hand- even though he seemed to be only in my peripheral vision the entire time. That part I liked a lot.
Very strange!!
Tips and Tricks – Foundation
November 13th, 2009 — ideas, make up, tips and tricks
Here’s a tip for your foundation, for any occasion. Actually- it’s two in one!
The first one is this- when you put your foundation on before you put your make up on, include your eyelids and your lips. It provides a perfect base coat for eyeshadow and will make your lipstick and eyeshadow last a little longer.
And then, you know how sometimes you see a woman wearing foundation and it quite literally ends at her jaw line? I was always taught that that was a no-no, and that you should blend it down into your neck as well.
I’ve taken it a little further. If I am wearing something with a lovely neckline, I will go so far as to wear foundation over my cleavage as well. It hides freckles, sun burn, stretch marks and veins- if like me your cleavage is milk-white
The foundation will rub off on the inside of your clothes a little so you’ll need to remember that, but as long as no-one else can see it that doesn’t worry me.
