Wedding RINGS.

So, I know most people dont buy their wedding rings 3 months after getting engaged and 1 year and 5 months before the wedding... but we're not most people and *I* am extremely organised. So, in november andrew and I took a trip into the city on the train. Diamonds International were having their 40-50% off sale (which Andrew also purchased my e-ring in, in june).

I knew I wanted a plain gold ring because I really really wanted to never ake my ring off and I knew I would feel like I had to work without it if it was diamond encrusted :) Im just really paranoid I guess. Anyway, the woman who served us was really nice, and at first she showed me this beautiful diamond ring that suited my e-ring perfectly. It looked really beautiful and I still think about it lovingly, but I turned it (and its $1000 price tag) down for a plain gold ring. Andrew got his too. If you've seen the 'good ring pictures' post below I think the rings appear in those, but heres a few anyway.


It cost us $393 for both of them. So pictured is $3988 worth of jewellery... eek.

Felt.

In my honest opinion, felt is the best material in the world. It may not be the prettiest, or the best feeling, but its so easy to make things with! I've been making felt flowers. Its been much fun, but Im looking forward to making some with a bit more detail, maybe some more stitches and beads... here are a few pictures.

This pink, purple and white bunch was made for my grandma.

I made this rainbow bunch for Andrew for his birthday.

good ring pictures

After reading a post on weddingbee.com about taking pictures of your rings, I decided to try it. What I did was, get a camera and set it to flash off and the macro setting (it looks like a flower). Then I got items which reflect me and Andrew and I took pictures featuring my ring on them in natural light. Thankyou Anne Ruthman!

The 1950s

Im in love with the 1950s. I didnt know I was untill a short time ago, when I was on weddingbee.com going through miss strawberry shortcakes archives. When I found all her vintage resources I realised that everything I love in terms of fashion and accessories is actually 1950s inspired. Its such a beautiful and innocent time and style.

Tuesday the 9th of December.

Since becoming engaged I have wondered many times about my own sanity. From what i read on weddingbee this is normal, and I feel that at such a stressful time in the brides life any crime committed in a mass of tulle or ribbon should be completely forgiven. I have only been engaged for four months and seven days but based on the events of this short time, I can see myself becoming a 'bridezilla'. I genuinely hate that term, its overused and really the only individuals accusing others of behaving like a 'bridezilla' would be those who are either men, never married women or women who can't remember how stressful trying to create the perfect day really is!
So far I have bought a dress and decided against wearing it, drifted between not wanting a reception at all and wanting the historic courthouse resturaunt at cleveland point. Ive wanted purple and green, all black, all white, pastels and rainbow as our wedding colours, and Ive adjusted our theme countless times. This may be considered the past-time of a 'bridezilla'. Or it may just be the activities of an eighteen year old fiance who never wants to regret anything about her wedding day. Ultimately I know that it wont matter whether I have a vintage 50s theme or a country england theme - what matters is marrying my bestfriend of 5 years on the day my grandparents married, 56 years before. This is, by far my favourite wedding 'detail'.

Vintage wedding.

Theming our wedding has been one incredibly difficult aspect of the planning we are able to do this early. I always wanted a vintagey-country feel, but I really didnt want to be forced into having a pastel theme. I employed the same colour 'rules' with my wedding theme as I have with my own styling. That being- no pastels for a redheaded translucent skinned Emily. This probably isnt necessary as I will be wearing the lightest colour of all and it will be up to my 'ladies in waiting' to don the puffy pastel-ness. However, I think I have a conclusion... I want antique looking roses in birdcages for the centrepieces, thats really country-ish... Im thinking a dusty purple for the bridesmaids!
I have decided, despite my love for the country and pastel roses that the theme of our wedding is going to be my grandma and grandpa. We are getting married on the same day as they did, and I deffinately want a traditional wedding with a 1950s feel :)

Dress-love.

I spent about 4 hours in my wedding dress today. I had a manequin too so I got to look at it properly from all angles... funny thing, i planned to see if I could put a bustle on it, but in the 4 hours i was wearing the thing I forgot all about it... wonder what I was doing?

Here is a teeny tiny teaser for you... only 501 days to go untill you can see it for real.

Bridesmaids

Went bridesmaid dress- looking today..

was interesting..

we have a favourite but I dont think Im going to let on yet.

Jo and Amber are two of my three bridesmaids and they are so short that all the 3/4 length dresses look full length on them :)

Amber and Jo liked this dress, but its not very bridesmaid-ey. maybe if the top was higher and the hem longer ;)

These dresses were very peasant-ey and they made Amber and Jo's top half look chunkier.

This only came in a small size (6) so Amber couldnt try it... its nice.

Ive got some hot bridesmaids :)

Wallace Bishop 2.

My blog about wallace bishop before wasn't meant to discourage anyone from buying from there ( I didnt even know anyone read my blog). I have just gotten an email from someone from Wallace Bishop and they have been very nice... I really like everything that wallace bishop sells, if my blog aimed to communicate anything to people wishing to purchase something from there it was just that they should do their research first. Research is something that should be done wherever you shop. After christmas I will be shopping for my wedding ring again and will be looking at all shops- including/especially Wallace Bishop. Ive been there before and theyve been very helpful.

I really didnt expect anyone to read the previous post :)

Organised.

Im a very organised person. So organised that one year and 5 months before our wedding, I have my dress, veil, headband, earrings, necklace, bracelet and corset. We are having a long engagement though, so I prepared all these things because they are the only things I was able to plan! So now for the next bit of my premature planning... Garters. I honestly can't decide which one I should get... its pretty much between two right now.

There is this one, which is beautiful... I love how its not so lacy, and a bit more modern. pearls match my theme too. I am only going to have one garter, as Im not doing the garter toss. I might keep my garter around a photoframe or something after the wedding, and this would look really good. I like the tradition of garters and what they mean. Since their meaning is applicable to me I am happy to wear one, not as a reception tradition, but as a symbol.
And then there is this one-

Its very nice too, I think what I like about this one is that it seems more sturdy than the one above, and also I like the little key. I may try and find a key charm on ebay and I could buy the top one, but diy a key onto it :)

Another wedding issue- im falling less and less in love with the idea of a reception. I wont be able to get away with not having one, but ill keep the fantasy alive for awhile longer :)

Wallace Bishop.

Yesterday Andrew and I went looking for our wedding rings. We were at Wallace Bishop at Victoria Point and the lady that helped us (if you can call it that) was pretty horrible. We went in and were looking etc, and we tried some on. At Wallace Bishop they only have 9 ct male AND female rings. My engagement ring is an 18 ct gold one and so I asked her "will it damage my engagement ring if its a harder gold?" she told me no. I thought that was a bit strange. Id heard Wallace Bishop was having a sale 'buy one get one free'. So I asked how much both of the rings would be and she said "$456.00". She didnt even mention the sale and how it would affect the price. It should have only been the price of Andrews ring- $340.
I was planning on buying one from there, but now I will never go there again. We went to Prouds afterwards and asked the same question about the gold and she told us that 9 ct will damage an 18ct gold engagement ring.
So, we've decided to go looking at diamonds international in the after christmas sales.
I wanted to do that anyway!

The best day the world has seen (at least) this year.

The 5 th of November 2008 will go down, atleast in my blog as the best day the world has seen all year. Possibly the best day in 8 years. Hopefully I will be buying shoes from the American ebay within the decade :) My mother and I enjoyed his acceptance speech. The most eloquent and well written presidential speech Ive heard come out of America in 8 years.

Election

Im Australian, some would ask why the American presidential election concerns me at all. However, Im smart enough to realise that whatever affects countries such as England, New Zealand and America affects Australia too, especially America- since unfortunatly it is considered the 'leader' despite its horrific debt and crap health system. Demonstrated in the current economic crisis I am yet to experience personally, but I hear is pretty serious. Therefore, I can only hope and pray that the republicans dont get in again!

Gosh, I will be praying so hard!

Change of government is always good, as we ourselves learnt just last year- with the election of Kevin Rudd- what a relief! So, change is always good... particularly in governments in which the president has been prove a liar, was a failure at every business he ever ran before becoming the president, and then commenced to destroy the biggest business in the world and also who may or may not have caused the events of 11th September 2001.

This a conspiracy theory I believe due to the research Ive done and listened to... it seems impossible to believe that the planes did that much damage etc... research for yourselves, start here if you want.

Anyway, since no one else reads this anyway and it is like my diary.. i can say what I want!

In my opinion George Bush has proven his stupidity in his, what, 8 years?

4 years ago, around this time I was expecting the Americans to have learnt their lesson, particularly on the wrongs of creating an excuse to start (no not a war) a bombardment on a particular country. Back then I was thinking, 'they'd have to know better by now'. I was disapointed. It made me think that Americans care little for what is 'right' according to the bible and common sense. Killing innocent men, women and children is wrong on all levels. It is more wrong than giving pregnant teenagers the choice to murder their unborn children. ultimately it is up to them whether they murder them in real life at the hand of a doctor or in their hearts when they wish that they could have been able to... its biblically considered murder either way.

Basically I will be terrified if the republicans get in. Another 4 years of killing and conspiracies and trying to be God.

Post high school weight.

The title says it all. Its a great mystery as to WHY we put on weight after high school. Doesnt make sense, its not like we graduate at 17 and are then suddenly ready for 40 year old extra baggage! The photos of me are shocking! Ive changed sooo much! so now I must try harder. It is my goal to eat better and excercise daily and gradually lose weight and be happy again.

I must however admit that the first photo, taken in november 2007 was just after my formal, which I had been getting thin due to for a year... the second photo was at our engagement party 0ctober 2008. Its well and truly time to do something about this!

Guests.

Right now I have cut the guest list from about 80 to 63. And I am super proud. especially since I know of about 3 boys and 2 girls who could leave the list without me giving it a second thought! So, my self inflicted limit of 60 guests is attainable! I had two lists. What I had in mind while writing the new guest lists was that immediate family, bridal party and long term friends of family were on list #1. The second list had people we should/would like to invite... we had 45 on list #1. It worked out rather well!

Pretty close to having decided on my wedding hair, too!

Religion.

I have some very different beliefs regarding religion than most. I once wrote a blog on myspace about my personal beliefs.
Here it is-

Religion.

My religious beliefs dont fit into any one religion. I am confusing and complicated and this is what causes alot of my inner conflicts.

I believe that Jesus and God are two seperate beings with the same purpose. I believe that they are OF one idea and reason for being but theyre two- not 'three in one' as so many churches believe. I think that 'three in one' is illogical.

I believe that RELIGION matters little. I dont care what religion someone is... they can be a jehovah's witness, mormon, muslim or Jew. If they believe in God and try to follow what he says then that is enough. Many churches have a THING against JW's in particular and it just proves that they are hypocrites. Most of the time they make uneducated comments about them anyway! Also, I love muslims and this worldwide hate for them just makes me like them more!

I dont like churches. I know I should, but I dont. They are full of flawed people. The ministers are not perfect either... and they admit it, so why should we be told by them not to gossip if they are the biggest gossips of all? I believe going to church is important- to be around people like you and for encouragement. And to give tithes etc, but I dont think that it is so important that you need to go twice a day. I also dont think that 'going to church' and 'spending time with god' can be considered the same thing or even similar. Anyone can see that.

I believe that an individuals relationship with God is private. I very much disagree with praying in groups FOR other people. My youth, when I went. used to pray in groups about an issue, or many issues, but they did not get an individual person to stand in the middle of a circle to be prayed for when they didnt ask for it. And they're pentacostal too! It is almost vulgar to insist upon praying for someone in public. This is how I think praying for people should go. If you think you need to pray with or for someone, you should go to them and tell them. Or do it by yourself, when you are praying at night- im sure god is not going to not listen to you because you are alone, instead of being in a group of 15 speaking like a motorbike.

That brings me to another issue. Speaking in tongues. I understand that it is a gift, but it is also a gift that isnt given to everyone. Therefore i believe that it is not meant to be a public thing and perhaps should only be revealed when alone or in a small group of people who know about it. My reason is that uneducated people- or young christians are not going to understand that not everyone gets to do it and they will think "oh thats what im supposed to do!" and they will mimick it. Which , i dont know about you but it seems like it would be blasphemy or something to me. Also, some may think 'its not about what other people think, but isnt it our job to tell people about God? well what sort of job would we be doing if we told them but then damaged their growing knowledge with our insensitivity?

Ok, holding your hands up in the air when singing at church is also something I think should be private. Even I do that when i am home alone, but at a church it is inappropriate, in my opinion. However, Andrew is right.. if only on this point it IS about a persons motives. I think that this act is something that a minister or anyone really, in a church judges the congregation on. If you look out and see every hand raised Im sure most people who only look at the surface would think that everyone was into all the singing and stuff, and if they didnt see any of them they would think everyone was asleep or drunk or maybe just not a christian anymore. This is a VERY shallow thing to judge people on. family backgrounds and personal backgrounds have a LOT to do with why someone does this or not. I think that the shallowness of it is pretty much a reason NOT to do it. Some people may even do it just to show off- isnt that admirable?

I believe when the bible said not to make any graven image that included crosses! I believe that a method of execution has no place hanging on a wall in a church or dangling from someones body parts. I have often considered finding a charm of an electric chair to hang around my neck to prove a point. NO GRAVEN IMAGE. If you need a cross to remind you about the god you serve you are not a very good servant!

Now, Im sure this will be shocking but I dont believe in Satan! Or atleast in the same way that so many others do. I do not believe that he runs around tempting everyone to kill themselves or rob a bank. I believe he is there, but has no power and is somewhat irrelevant. He was never GOD, he always had less power than him, so why do so many christians suddenly want to believe he has almost equal power? The evil being that tempts us to do bad things is ourselves! Humans have free will and so obviously sometimes we will choose to do the wrong thing. Now, why give the devil credit for your own stupidity? Im sure he'd like it too! Stop empowering something that has no more power than you do yourself! I think that this popular image of the devil was made up by a man who wanted to believe he was some sort of powerful enemy that you need to overcome- to satisfy his boyhood dreams of 'slaying the dragon' or catching the bad guys.

Above all, I am conservative- but that is what i think we are supposed to be. I dont think we are supposed to be advertising our individual holiness. I love the idea of someone sitting on a mountain overlooking all that god created and having a conversation with him. Like a best friend. Like someone that you tell everything to and cry to and arent scared around. I love the idea of sitting in a cottage thing with andrew and a dog and having complete faith that everything is going to be okay. My image of perfect christianity is far from what I see in pentacostal churches. Im sure that it is far from what I would see in any church.

I wrote all of that awhile ago, and I still hold those opinions, however I have more evidence to back those opinions now, after about a year. This blog isnt about that extra evidence. It is about the need for a denomination. I have survived my whole life attending churches that did not hold the same opinions on the details as I hold. This fact has just illustrated to me that denominations are not as significant as some people think. Really, the only division I find relevant in christianity is the Catholic/Protestant seperation. I am, and always will be a fan of the reformation, due to the high level of corruption present and historically weaved into the Catholic Church.
Seperations between groups like the Methodists, Anglicans, Baptists, Pentecostals, Lutherans, and Christadelphians seem pointless to me. These groups have such slight differences with each other that its a job to actually discover them! So, Im basically saying that denominations are stupid. Everyone has a slightly different opinion when given the chance to put thought into what they're hearing... there could be billions of different denominations all because God gave us an imagination and descernment.
I certainly have a different opinion to most, and Ive been involved in churches that disagree with is all my life. Ive been apart of Alexandra Hills Church of Christ, Cleveland Baptist, The Rock Christian Church (Pentacostal)and Bayside Christian Family Church (Apostolic), and I hold one of the most different and passionate opinions on the details of christianity of anyone I have come into contact with so far.

I love passionate essays :)

Colours dilemma.

I have previously decided on Purple bridesmaid dresses, with the secondary colour being green. I think Ive changed my mind :)

I like green as the main colour now, and I think its better for a day wedding anyway.

Proposal

I love talking about my wedding planning etc.
So I will write this story down here before I forget it, because I find myself forgetting bits of it all the time.
Ok, So for the previous week Andrew managed to convince me and then unconvince me repeatedly that I would have a diamond by Saturday the 2nd of August.
First he would say ' we should both get the night off' and id get all excited and then he'd say' oh, it doesn't really matter'. So I woke up on Saturday morning confused and slightly annoyed. But I chose to think of it as a relaxing day with Andrew, and I thought that if that was all I got out of it, it wouldnt be wasted at all!
So he picked me up on Saturday morning and we went to wynnum. We went to a second hand bookshop and I bought a book Ive been wanting for ages. Then we went for a walk along the waterfront.
As we were getting out of the car, I followed andrew to the boot because he 'had to put something away' he stood there with the boot open for ages untill I walked away! haha. While we were walking Andrew kept making me do things like climbing childrens play equipment, swinging on the swings and standing in different positions. It must not have seemed right to him because next thing I knew we were back in the car, going to visit Matthew. This made me think he wasnt going to propose that day- who goes to his friend's house before he proposes to his girlfriend? We were there for awhile, during which time Andrew spilled all his lemon lime and bitters on his gear stick and steering wheel.
After leaving Matt we drove to Hawthorne and got on a city cat. We got off the city cat at southbank, bought some lollies and walked all the way across the bridge to the botanical gardens. We sat up a tree for awhile, and this is where I thought he was going to do it- I would have loved to be proposed to in a tree!
We got out of the tree when these strange men started looking at un as though we were the strange ones. We made our way back across the bridge, went to boost and then got back on the city cat. So, basically it was 3:00 and still no proposal.

So, we got back in the car and drove to my house... I think I fell asleep on the way. Anyway, I knew we were going to the courthouse resturaunt that night so we got changed and sat on my bed for awhile. We talked about Mel and Rhys wedding, which was the next saturday and I said that I hope I dont get really jealous that Im not engaged, while watching their wedding. Andrew said " you wont". :) Anyway, Andrew wanted to pray, and Id never done that with him before, so I was kind of nervous but I did it anyway. We went to the courthouse resturaunt and it was really yum- except for the cocktail Andrew made me drink- Chocolate Bunny :( Its sad that it has such a nice name.I think I just hate alcahol.

Andrew got a text message halfway through our dinner from Ben, and he texted back saying that I was getting drunk- I deffinately wasnt!We got up and paid, and Andrew spent AGES in the toilet. We drove to one of the little raby bay beaches and I really didnt want to get out because it was so dark, but I did anyway. There was a funny little man with a bag of what looked like orange peels walking along the path...It was kind of like he was a murderer disposing of the evidence.
We walked to the beach and then Andrew said he had to run back and 'take off his shoes'. We were standing on the beach (we could only tell it was the beach because it felt like sand- couldnt see a thing!) and Andrew said " I love you" and I said " I love you too".
Then there was a long gap and I thought, ok he'll do it soon. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" at that I though, hes DEFFINATELY going to do it. Then he got down on one knee, though I could hardly see what he was doing. I was smiling so hard now, and he said "Will you marry me". :):):)I can't remember what I said straight away, but I do remember saying YES. Although Apparently he didnt hear because after lots of hugging he said "So, that's a 'yes', right?" We had to run back to the car so I could see the ring and it is the best one I've ever seen. I couldn't have chosen a better one.

We rang my mum first, and then his... his mums reaction was 'thats odd'. She wanted to know where Andrew got the money from-haha. We rang my dad next, and then All our friends. Afterwards Andrew informs me that he'd decided if I didnt pray with him he wasn't going to do it that day... :) lucky I did!This day was the best ever! I love my ring!

Engagement Party!

My First Wedding Board.

Ok, no one who is going to be at my wedding reads this anyway, so im safe.
My Wedding will be on the Saturday the 6th of March 2010 at 10.30 am. Ive decided on my dress, the colours, the groom :) and most of the bridal party.
My Bridesmaids are Jo, Amber and Ashleigh. If Andrew chooses to have four groomsmen, then Ill choose another Bridesmaid.
Engagement Party is on this Saturday... :)
Oh, and today we got a full cutlery set from Curly... so happy about that!
Love Emily.

18/09/08

Today is Thursday the 18th of September... just over 2 weeks untill the engagement party. Im kind of angry at Andrew... he doesnt see me as much as he used to and on friday night he's going to a drunken party- grrr. However, I am exaggerating a bit coz he is only going because he promised his friend he'd 'drop in' to his 18th and he's only staying for an hour or so.
BUT STILL!
:) Tomorrow Im taking Samson for a walk. I have to add excercise to my diet, coz ive been eating rather well, just havent gotten around to excercising yet.
Also, Samson deserves a walk!

Hello.

Haven't posted anything for awhile.
Our Engagement party is on soon... the 4th of October, but Ive never been to one.
What do you do at an Engagement Party i wonder? Im sure there will be more posts about this in the near future!
Ive pretty much chosen the honeymoon place- all thats left now is to book it... its BEAUTIFUL and pretty close to home too- Mooloolaba which is on the sunshine coast.

It's about $300 per night and I think we're going to stay for 10 nights. So all our engagement money will probably go towards this :) It'll be so much fun!

The Dress.

Went to try on wedding dresses yesterday and I tried on a total of... ONE. Its the type I have always been in love with, ever since looking for my formal dress last year. Its gorgeous and it really suits me. Im so happy.

Diet.

I am going back on my diet. I call it my diet because its worked for me before!
My inspiration this time is going to be disney princesses... not that I want to look like them coz they are very thin, but just the whole princessy thing really inspires me.

Finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, Ive finished my History assignment! yay... first real uni assignment of this semester done. Now I have to go to bed... so I can get up early tomorrow to excercise and lose weight- yay!

procrastination

Sometimes I wish that we had agreed to have our wedding earlier than we have. Its better waiting this long though. We agreed on the 6th of March 2010 the night we got engaged, and a few weeks later found out that the lease on the rental property that mum owns, that we prefer ends on the 15th of March (when we are still on our honeymoon) so it works out really really well. However, sometimes I still wish I could just marry the little fellow. Haha, he's not really little at all. Im currently doing a Uni assignment.. but a little procrastination never hurt anyone.


haha- cuteness! This is Andrew, his brother David and me... I think I was 7.
Im going to go now...

Andrew

Not much wedding stuff being talked about recently.

Andrew had to go to the doctor due to random chest pains.

They start after he does strenuous excercise and then he gets them ALL the time, random things like running up the stairs or picking something up causes him to get dizzy and his heart beats really fast and it hurts... its so painful just watching!

So he went to the doctor and he said that if its what he thinks it is he might need a catheter Ablation, and in the worst case scenario a pacemaker- :( grrr.

So, the thing about Andrews heart is that after a random strenuous excercise ( in this case- he pushed a ute!) his heart starts beating at around 130 beats per minute... normally- with no excercise or anything. He feels completely normal when his heart is going that fast. But when he does little bits of excercise his heart goes even faster and he gets chest pains and dizzyness... its terrible- i pray he gets better.

So I think I will dedicate this post to him... because he is absolutely beautiful.

I Love Andrew so much... I can't remember if the creamy balloon face was my idea or his... but it was really fun, this was at the wynnum North Train station and ofcourse, Andrew being weird and brave wanted to take the balloon on the train with us- but I wiped the cream onto some nearby leaves out of my fear of being looked at-ness:)



Ok, so I dont have my drivers licence yet, even though Ive gone for it twice- stupid thorough Cleveland test-guys... This boy drives me around all the time. Although, he does complain about it quite alot. I am so thankful for it though. I love being in the car with him :)


This photo was taken at Mel and Rhys wedding.

They are a couple from Andrew's youth.
It was the first wedding we were invited to without our parents:)

This photo is at Andrew's formal with his school friends and their girlfriends... The girls were'nt allowed to go because we didnt go to Wynnum North High, but his preformal was really nice.

This photo was from my formal... Andrew wore his formal clothes, but he wasnt allowed to go to my formal either. :)

I love him so much!
