December 7 is already infamous. ..... .... the anniversary of the bombing on Pearl Harbour. :noid:

How jolly and appropriate!

Thanks for bringing up that gem of info, Stipe. :noid:

Should I wear white? I want to...white looks good on me, but some would say I shouldn't.
Where did that come from anyway? It's an outside wedding. I don't know why that part matters.... :noid:

Wear white if you want to. The color of the dress is not what's important.

I already knew what that date was when I chose it actually, not that it was why I chose it...but I knew.

Also on that date:
1732 The Royal Opera House opens at Covent Garden, London.
1787 Delaware becomes first state to ratify constitution
1842 New York Philharmonic's first concert
1973 Wings release "Band on the Run"
1982 In Texas, Charles Brooks, Jr. becomes the first person to be executed by lethal injection in the US.
1989 In their third and final fight, Sugar Ray Leonard retains the WBC Super Middleweight Championship of the World, defeating Roberto Duran.
1995 Bill Gates announced that Microsoft would shift its entire business focus to the Internet.

Of course you chose it because of Microsoft's announcement right?

Actually I did think it was rather amusing considering where the funding for my wedding is coming from.

(and because I frequently take pleasure in getting over on Bill Gates because he's a nasty :Commie: :noid: :devil: )

I'm a computer nerd

Do we have a record of donations?

Minerva · Nov 15, 2007

not till my brother gets home tonight - maybe sooner if he doesn't have much work to do

I am supposed to go shopping for a dress tomorrow. Now, the weather channel only does a 10 day forecast so I can't know until the 28th what the weather will be like on the 7th. I have to shop tomorrow because that is the only time I can go to Pensacola before the 7th. (jared works too much, plus I can't afford gas to there so my mom is paying for gas and that is when she planned to go) ANYWAY the QUESTION is.....

Any advice on dresses, it will more than likely be somewhere between 60 and 70 degrees.(it could be like 55 though :idunno: ) I have always wanted a strapless wedding dress but I don't want to freeze! Maybe I should just go for what I want and deal with the cold...the ceremony can't last that long right? I don't know, someone tell me something.

Stripe · Nov 16, 2007

Did I hear this was going to be an outside ceremony?

I say buy what looks good and hope for the best. You could always don a jacket for a short time if things get out of hand.

Or potentially what looks good could mean something warm

I simply cannot envision myself in a long sleeve dress. That would be weird. Ok for others, weird for me.

A longish shawl which would cover your shoulders and arms, which you could just pull around you or take off?

Here are a few ideas.

By the look of those Army boots, I would have thought you were tough enough to handle a bit of cold. Buck up soldier!

That fake mink is great. It's and extra $30 but I bet the money will come!
