I lied to you, and it might not be the last time

Last night, after about 2 months of walking right past it, I dusted off my camera and went about getting prepared to download all the pictures from my camera to my hard drive. I checked the battery - good to go. And then I spent 2 hours intermittently wandering around in the office and looking at the cupboard where all my camera gear normally resides when not in use to find the cable - a very important piece of equipment if you're attempting to copy files from a camera to a laptop, without which the very act of copying is unpossible. I spent some time looking at the top layer of my desk, which sits about a foot above the desk's surface and is comprised of god only knows what but probably stuff that I should organize at some point. I rifled through my one desk drawer and noted to myself that because the drawer rifling was somewhat therapeutic that I needed to sell my desk and buy a new one made of drawers for just this situation, as I expect it will happen several times again in the future. I tend to lose things, or as I like to call it, misremember where I've placed many items I often need to use at a later point in time.

And not 30 seconds after complaining very loudly that I couldn't find the STUPID GODDAMN CABLE to no one in particular but Doing so in the same room as my husband just so someone could register my complaint, I went into my bedroom to flop on my bed in a fit of WAHHHHHHHH and nearly tripped right over the very cable I'd been tearing apart every other room in the apartment looking for. Of course.

Long story short, I haven't even looked at those pictures yet, but this morning, after ignoring the fact that it's Canadian Thanksgiving (in October!), I decided to try to get a little artsy and take some shots of our wedding rings. And that's why I lied - sort of - and will now show you something else that happens to be wedding related - kind of.

I think I've drawn this out long enough

I think from the following picture taken by Melissa it is clear that I do not wear a lot of dresses.

Also, purple clutch to go with the purple toes.



And now I will stop it about the wedding.

Accessorizing

So a few days before the wedding, my mother took me to get a manicure and pedicure. Of special note is the fact that my mom had never before had a pedicure and she didn't once break out in hysterical laughter from her feet being tickled incessantly. I was most impressed. AND! And she only nicked her nail polish once! That's practically a miracle. While my mother was white knuckling the arms of her lazy-boy recliner from trying so hard to not laugh or wriggle away from the tickle-monster, I was searching through all the available colors for a purple polish. Because when questioned, my fiance had expressed that he'd like it if my toenails were painted purple for the wedding. And I obliged, because I'm all kinds of sweet like that.

Witness:



Of special note: I wore these shoes until about an hour after this photo was taken. And then I went barefoot for the rest of my wedding because I'm ALL CLASS and also a big fat weenie when my shoes are incredibly uncomfortable.

Now that we've established that I could never have a real corporate office job since my feet are whiny whiny bastards, let's move on to the hair. When I dug this puppy out of my purse and handed it over to my ridiculously awesome hair dresser, she laughed and asked, "No really, what the hell am I supposed to do with this thing?" She thought I was totally kidding when I told her to put it in my hair, but being the miracle worker that she is, she obliged and got it stuck in my hair so good that it only took 2 hours to pull it out at the end of the night.



Besides, who can have a wedding with an evening fireworks display without having a fireworks replica thingamajiggy in their hair? Not me, clearly!

(Melissa took these pictures. She's a rockstar.)

Yeah, this is also wedding related

We were thinking of using this as a beverage holder, but someone finally let us in on the secret that it should hold candles. Who'da thunk it?

Summing up the wedding and MOVING ON SOON

I promise I'll start posting pictures from after the wedding I had this summer just as soon as I get through these last couple of shots. None of the wedding shots were taken by me - they were taken by Melissa, my beautiful and so kind Maid of Honor or by Attila, my sweet adorable awesome friend who flew all the way to Vancouver from DUBAI. That place is way far away from here. I hope he got peanuts on the plane.

So first, the sky was all:



Then it was all, OMG, THIS:



So, I was all, HUNGRY, I'll go wait for my food and sit over here:



All of these shots were taken by Melissa, the gorgeous.

Coming up? Me in a dress. OMG YES REALLY.
