Thanks Toby

For finally getting your ass in gear and for giving me something to blog about. I've been running on empty. He finally proposed! My best friend Jacquee is getting married! And check out the rock...

That's a whopping 1.2 carats, folks. When Toby goes all out, it apparently extends beyond electronics and large television sets. It goes for diamonds as well. Really, I'm proud of the boy. He's done very well for Jacquee.

The proposal was very sweet, with a trail of rose petals leading to wine in a bubble bath where the ring was nestled inside of a rose. So sweet. The engagement is going to be uber-quick. They're getting married the first weekend of March, assuming that all the rentals fall into place as they should, so today we went dress shopping. Wheee!

Jacquee knew what she wanted going in. It was the first dress she tried on. It will be the dress she wears on her wedding day. But to humor myself and Lexi who were tagging along with her, she tried on some other dresses for us. Like this one that caused us to burst into giggles when she came out from the fitting room.






A regular Southern belle, our Jacquee is. All she needs is a parasol. The runner-up dress was gorgeous with a long, flowing train and lots of lace.






Beautiful, is it not? It's nothing compared to the dress Jacquee will be walking down the aisle in. The dress in the picture has gold trim, but the version of it that Jacquee is getting will have light blue replacing all of the gold bits and the dress is a snow white, not an off-white. So please, use your imagination to get a real idea of what the dress looks like.






Ah, man. I wasn't tearing up until I started putting this post together. My girl is getting married!
