Designing a perfect wedding.

January 29th 2010 01:45
Recently my girlfriend and I decided to get married, and we began planning for the wedding. Neither of us had ever taken the plunge before so we were both pretty clueless about where to begin. We needed to get the dress for her and myself a tuxedo. Finding these items would be no easy task. We spent quite some time looking everywhere to find the perfect dress for my bride to be. I thought it was hopeless so I started looking around online until finally, exhausted from my search I found the perfect dress.

It was gorgeous. A stunning white gown, strapless with an ornate breast and a very sheer torso with a lace appeal. The length was perfect, and the look was perfection. My fiance nearly fainted when she saw it. Feeling triumphant I went about on my search for the perfect tuxedo. This task proved to me much simpler and within a couple of days I had my suit ready to go.


The quest was far from over. Now we had to outfit the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Finding outfits to fit this assorted crew of people would be a daunting task. For this I let my fiance work on the ladies and I went to work searching for tuxedos for the guys. I went with rented suits from a local rental place that was inexpensive. My wife after a fruitless search followed suit and went with the same company for the bridesmaids. We were still a long way off from our goal.

We needed a caterer, a place to hold the reception, a band, flowers, we needed to decide on a church or an outdoor wedding. What priest would perform the ceremony. It was than that I realized we hadn't even found the jewelry my wife would wear. I had some gold cuff-links in a drawer and I borrowed my fathers best watch for the occasion. She would not be outfitted so easily. I consulted with an old friend of mine who designs jewelry and hashed out the perfect combination of accessories to make my new wife look perfect.

The necklace was a sterling silver piece with many long strands of silver dangling off of it. They were short pieces and each was encrusted with small diamonds across their length. Another row of diamonds made the bow around the neckline. A matching diamond studded tennis bracelet for her wrist. I also found her a sterling silver broach with a twisting floral pattern and pink amethyst for the petals. Finally things were looking up for the big day.
While our quest for the perfect wedding may have been a harrowing one, with a little patience we were able to persevere and make our special day, well...special.
