Trooper

Dean was such a trooper this weekend- I'm really lucky to have him.

On Saturday, we weren't feeling very well and he embarked on a shopping excursion with my Mom, Dad, and myself. He tried on quite a few suits and shirts (to my great amusement) and finally he landed on getting an English Laundry suit.



The only difference is that Dean's suit is black, and he'll be wearing an Ivory shirt and black tie. My Dad also picked out a very nice Perry Ellis suit (with the help of our own personal Macy's shopper Ken) and a beautiful shirt/tie that will be stunning for sure. I also bought myself a pair of jeans because of my...unfortunate ripping accident that I will not go into any more detail about! (Nothing scandalous, just totally embarrassing). Thank goodness for our personal shopper also helping Mom find her outfit. She got a fantastic blouse/skirt that I can tell she felt gorgeous in. She tried on a fantastic skirt/shirt combination but it was just too formal for our wedding. She said it made her feel like Meryl Streep!

Yesterday we went to Huntington Beach Central Park for our engagement photos (finally, after almost 8 months of being engaged). We are not very photogenic, and my hair was blowing around WILDLY near the lake but we should have at least a few good pictures. I just hope that our personalities came out on film. I managed to stay away from the evil, evil geese at the park and we even saw two horses! Though, there were some typical Huntington Beach characters in the park that were there while we were taking pictures. One guy was fishing on the small dock by where Alice's cafe used to be and said that there were 'small carp' in the lake and he accidentally ripped one's eye out. How romantic. The second was actually a group of teenage boys who were imitating the geese and although it was funny at first, it started getting kind of weird towards the end of it.

I also bought the groomsmen's ties, as well as Dean's and I will be buying my bone socks today as well.

I cant wait to see the pictures that Kevin took, and all in all it was a really productive weekend!
