Ahem... I registered

[bluntforcemama]

And it was one of the most tiring experiences of my life. Ugh!

Victoria Secret, Frederick's or Axford's??????

 

[bluntforcemama]

Oh, I have far too much lingerie. Monk and I need to invest in some more pratical things.... like kitchen appliances, bedding and bath towels. Doesn't that sound kinky? We registered at Target and "Linens and Things."

 

[Merelan]

Did I hear you say that? Too much lingerie? You can have too much? Shhh.... please don't tell my guys. Please.

Registering was a pain in the butt to me. I didn't want to do it. I didn't need anything. I had it all, or he did. We had both lived on our own so...
But his Mom made us, and went with us. Some of the stuff she wanted me to register for was absolutely asinine! It took us three hours and I am still amazed I didn't punch the clerk before we were done.

Know something? We got one thing off the registry. See... my friends knew. I twas her boss that bought it. I never even met the guy. Nice chip dip tray, I have used it twice in 15 years.

Good God. It has been 15 years?

I hope you feel better now. Most things to do with the wedding are stressful, but if you don't do them someone else might. Imagine Aunt Edith helping you choose china?

Note: a combination of different roses will probably be used, anyway. This is a true homemade wedding.

I like the first two... but what shade are the ladies weaaring? That particular color might not go.

 

[bluntforcemama]

There aren't any ladies, it's just me.

 

[Merelan]

As it should be.... yes. I like the first two the best. Unique, absolutely beautiful.

 

[bluntforcemama]

They're my favorite, too.

 

[Merelan]

Real of course, right? Damn,. they are absolutely gorgeous. I want some too!!!!!

Oh, MYST! I just realized you are getting Married!


Congratulations!

Where the fuck have I been?

I wanted to say that two of my very good friends work in floral, and I am about to start in one month, if the bonsai greenhouse that I applied to doesn't hire me. Anyway, my one friend worked for a really cool lady who encourages originality in the designing of stuff. One lady had an autumn wedding and she had a mix of roses, with some kind of dried berry and actual dried mushrooms. The way she described it blew my mind. It sounded beautiful. A mix of fresh and dried might be just the thing.

Do you have 'set' colors for the wedding?

If you go with a rusty orange rose, some purple would be stunning.

If you want, I would be more than happy to cut and dry lavender this summer and send it out for you after it dries (July) from this summer's bloom. That way it will cost you nada, and you can have a bit of starfish love in your wedding. If you don't use it in your bridal bouqet, you may be able to use it in the other decorations.

Sounds great, Fishie!
