Say Yes to the Dress

One of the big things to decide will be the dress. It’s not going to be a traditional gown. Several options have played though my mind. I want it to be a meaningful decision.

I love thrift stores and have seen a few options that would require some tailoring.  A gorgeous $16 beaded treasure for one but two strands of bedding have come loose.  Love looking at dresses online and trying to find just the right look.

I love steampunk and have looked at options there. A futuristic sci-fi look. I found a lovely ribbon skirt.  Still searching and the jury is still out but found this cool article today of celebrity weddings and non-traditional dresses.

The Wedding Planner

 It’s been a long time.  Lived in Fort Simpson from 2012 to 2019.  Currently in Yellowknife and met Darcy.  Our first date was at Tim Hortons.  Talked for hours until they kicked us out.  They mopped the floors and lifted the chairs up on the tables.  We talked until they closed up shop.  I hadn’t transferred to Yellowknife yet but the job transfer came soon after.

Next steps are the wedding plans. Picked a place in Northern, Ontario for the family to hang out for a vacay and well why not? Seems like the best thing for a secluded wedding in COVID times.  Thinking August 2023. 

The first step is the ring.  Waiting for the custom order with a turtle and eagle Haida design. I am the turtle and he is the eagle.  The tree of life grows out of the back of the turtle and the eagle sits in the tree watching to guard and keep the peace.
