Good Golly

Molly found her dress! The kelly green Eliza J polka dot dress looks even better in person. It's retro chic. Way to go Molly! I haven't gotten a chance to take a picture of her in it so this model will have to do for now. I decided to make a little inspiration board with Molly's dress in mind. The jewelry, shoes, and purse are just random finds from the internet. Some good internet sites I found them in were jcrew.com, robertachiarella.com, junebug weddings, and caroletanenbaum.com. The bubbly a la Sofia is a must accessory for any occasion. Too bad Veuve hasn't made similar champagne to-go. Well, the French would consider that sacrilegious no doubt. The bouquet of calla lilies and pink flowers just reminded me of Molly so I felt like including them.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the updates. As you may know school is just wreaking havoc on my free time. And Oskar is distracted with work can you believe that? And to be honest, I am running out of ideas. So if you can think of any topics let me know.

Am I a crazy groom?

In scanning the Web for inspiration for future posts, I stumbled on a small Web site geared toward grooms and their ideas that looks like it started last week. On a whim (like everything I do these days, it seems), I joined the group, and am now a member of The Offbeat Groom Gang, pending administrative approval. Membership is MUCH cheaper* than that 24 Hour Fitness one I'm eyeing, and I'll be among the first of perhaps tens of grooms trading ideas. Once I'm in, I'll get to start using jargon like b2b to refer to Maryté.

Though the dream of being a truly "offbeat" group is little more than pipe, hopefully it'll spark something more noticeably distinct at our wedding.

Plus, who wouldn't want to comment and glean ideas from absolute strangers capable of inspiration boards like these...


Don't worry, Maryté, I left my wrestling belt in high school and my velvet-sleeved coat is safely in an attic somewhere.

What do you think?

*Membership to the Web site was free, of course.
