Did you know, Mame, of course I do. It took Mum and I an hour and a half to find both the pattern and the fabric. Here is a link to the pattern. Ignore the image in the middle, the front is on the right (minus the silver whatever-it-is in the middle) and the back on the left. Back straps/tie will be simple white satin, not the same fabric shown above. I think the V in the cleavage will have a very small lace accent. And we're cutting the hem mid-calf, because a)it's a beach wedding, and 2)the fabric is scalloped already, creating a natural embroidered hem. It's gonna be gorgeous.

Did you know I said 'Ooooh lala' out loud when I saw the pattern... with your fantabulous material, (and your pretty figure!) it is going to be breathtakingly beautiful! The Donner will be speechless and googly-eyed when you walk up that (sandy) aisle.

Aw, shucks. Thanks, guys. Did you know, of all the things to think about when it comes to getting married, I was certain the dress would be the one thing to unravel all the smooth sailing. Did you know... <sigh>... the ring is STILL at the jewellers, and I STILL haven't been proposed to?? Talk about doing this bass-ackwards. Did you know, Eris, I was wondering where you are! Good to see you back in your favourite thread! Did you know, Vee, I received a similar email the other day, but it was a whole bunch of photos of dresses made out of condoms. Some of them were stunning! Considering I'm 95% certain it WILL be raining during my outdoor ceremony, I'm not sure TP is the best material for me...

Did you know, Mame... I'm pretty sure condoms aren't actually all that waterproof, lol. Every sex ed talk I've ever had told me not to used water-based lubricants, because the water can break down the latex somehow, or something like that... Just a tidbit of info you probably didn't need...

Did you know I am so glad I'm 'fixed' like my cats, and married off, as my mother would say, so I don't have to worry about that sort of thing anymore. LOL. Sigh... probably TMI.

Did you know Karen, we did everything bass akwards when we got married as well. One day (St. Patrick's day) after we had been, uh, well, um...ok, moving on, he said, "You know I want to marry you right" (be still my heart...) and I said "Is that some sort of proposal?" and he said "Maybe" and I gave him my best "rock" eyebrown look and said, "well, then my answer is maybe"..... SO I started planning, THEN we set a date, THEN I bought a dress, got invitations, THEN he came home about a month ahead of time with the cutest "little" diamond you've ever seen and said "You're going to marry me right?" Uh yeah, duh, we already have it all planned out... NOW, no complaints, because I love it, and even though I have a bigger diamond now (2.5k), I still wear my 1/2k diamond because we were broke when we got married (military) and it has been on my finger since that day (except when I was pregnant with DD1, because I swelled so bad, I had to take it off or have it cut off)....AND We'll be married 6 years this year, happily.

Did you know, Escapee, your story makes me feel so much better? Of all my girlfriends, I'm the first to get married and I'm getting the feeling from some of them that they're missing out on that "by proxy" feeling (if you know what I mean?) because we're doing things so unconventionally. Heck, the girl I've been best friends with since I was 13 isn't even invited down to Belize with us... Mine's a tiny diamond, too (.43), but I've been waiting seven years. At this point, I'll take tin and glass, LOL.

Did you know, in some things, it's not about size? Love makes it shine like laser beam. The good thing about going unconventional is that you'll always have a good story to tell. Most of you have heard about my whirlwind romance, engagement, and wedding, right? BESIDES, if what you want is a wedding, your missing out on the more important issue, the marriage. You should want to be married more than you want to have a wedding, right? I can't tell you how many people I know who had this iffy relationship, got all starry eyed over the dress, the cake, the flowers, spent umpteen thousand dollars, only to end up divorced in under five years. If anyone ever wants me to regale my engagement/wedding story again, I will be glad to oblige....

Did you know that J.K. Rowling's site has the door open? IT's always closed until today! Her whole site has fun things to explore, but the door has always had a do not disturb sign. Well, she opened it today and there's a message to her fans. http://www.jkrowling.com/ You have to click around to find the door. It's over by the eraser! By the way, her final book comes out today!

Did you know, I went out and bought it today, at Walmart? Read page 1 and page 604 in the car...came home and began to read in earnest. I am about 1/3 of the way through now. DS is fortunately deep into another book right now, so we don't have to "fight" about who gets it and when. (We did with the last two books.Neither could take it out of house, except me for my lunch hour.- that meant it couldn't be left anywhere by accident.

Did you know I am so out of the loop when it comes to this Potter mania? Did you know I've never read the books, and fallen asleep during the movies I've tried to watch? Did you know, I've been convinced to read the books, but my baby sis forgot to pass them off to me when I was home last week...

Did you know I started to read the first HP book, felt sorry for his abusive living situation, and stopped reading it? All I know about HP is the little bit I have seen on the news.
