I used to blog a lot more and you know why? I was addicted to <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/">weddingbee</a>. I really wanted to become a blogger on there, but then I realized, heck, I don't need that robbing all of my time! I noticed I was online for hours at a time almost every day trying to make <b>them</b> happy, when I was making myself miserable because I thought I was never good enough for them.<br />
<br />
I haven't been on weddingbee for almost a month. The last time I had checked they started coming out with "cloth pattern" names and it was too much for me. I was looking at the info on some of the bees and wow. So not my thing anymore! The only cool chick was miss nachos for me after the dog generation.firemuffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615794595637457781noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466282363043537985.post-80994435580921144752010-01-26T22:37:00.000-05:002010-01-26T22:37:25.525-05:00And They're Off!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The invites are on their way!

</div>I had gotten a Martha Stewart kit from the Michael's store and got some green stamping ink with a stamp that had cute birds on a branch. We wanted something simple and not too expensive. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that was going to be tossed in the recycling bin soon anyways!<br />
<br />
Did you go the cheap route for your invitations?<br />

In our contract it said we have the decorations included, but it wasn't exactly specified. Well, Mr. Ferret found out that the decorations on the walls (paintings and such) are indeed included, but if we want centerpieces they only supply fake flowers. Fake flowers feel really...well tacky and dollarama-like to me. So until we meet up with the owner again in February or March I have to make a back-up plan just in case. With my anxieties slowly creeping up on me as much as the wedding date is I have to plan so I can sleep at night. I stress out over silly little details!<br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I really like the concept of using fruit as centerpieces with candles.<b> It's so fresh!</b><br />

</div><br />
I'm a bargain hunter at heart and I desperately needed a good deal on flowers. I absolutely did not want to pay a fortune for flowers that will wilt and die the next day. My good friend Robyn had fabulous flowers on her wedding day a couple of years ago and she got them at <i><b> </b></i><a href="http://canada411.pagesjaunes.ca/bus/Quebec/Montreal/Boutique-Fleuriste-Coin-Vert/1846134.html?what=fleuriste+coin+vert&where=montreal&le=84c292fad9">Boutique Fleuriste Coin Vert. </a><br />

These are the flowers that I chose:<br />

</div>You see, back when I was in college I used to hit the arcades a little too often instead of going to class. I got hooked on Dance Dance Revolution and I got my daily exercise that way. I finished college a few years ago so I don't play as often. Also, a lot of arcades have closed down in my area -_-.<br />

</div>I am by no means an expert, so I generally play on standard and heavy mode. I used to play with MOH C back in the day. It has been ages since we've played together! I need to dust off my DDR mat from the closet and start playing again at home.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite songs to dance to:<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Yup. Its that time of the month again. I'm one of those unlucky girls who unfortunately gets it that lasts about a week and its really painful ALL week long. No fun.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I have tried pretty much everything that is on the market. The pads, the tampons, the diva cup, the cotton pads...If I do get it on the week of my wedding, these are the winner.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Any other kinds of tampons just don't cut it for me. These ones work the best and I haven't had any accidents. Other companies make their tampons too long so when it gets absorbed, well, you get the picture.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As for pads, I use them too, but only the cotton ones. Pads sold in pharmacies have perfumes which stink in general and I have bad reactions to them. After trying these cloth pads I have never been happier!<br />

I think they were the DJ that one of my friend's wedding a couple of years ago and I absolutely loved their choices. <br />
<br />
They said there wouldn't be a problem incorporating the "movie theme" into the music selection.

I would also have to figure out what medium to create them with. There's chiffon, silk paper, fake moss, fake flowers, real flowers...the list goes on an on. Oh, and I'd like to bring them to the reception hall afterwords. But where would I put it?<br />

Christmas is fast approaching and all of the stuff I want to do handmade...well, I got one scarf done. Bah.<br />
<br />
I've been relatively stressed out as of late. I have been trying to finish the renovations which have been on hold since November. I have been trying to start doing some DIY stuff for the wedding, but have not started one bit. I have been lazy to get new batteries to be able to take some new pictures from my camera. I have yet to call the DJ for the wedding...I'm slacking off. I guess I'm afraid to start everything?<br />
<br />
I needed to cheer up and I saw this on Facebook yesterday. I couldn't resist showing this to you guys.<br />
<br />

You see, whenever I feel down or bummed out, my pets or other people's pets always make me feel better. I feel that animals have this sense that they know when their owners are feeling blue and try to comfort them, or they just act goofy.<br />
<br />
Mr. Ferret and I caught Pepper doing this the other day (this is not a video of Pepper)<br />

He would grab onto it and not let go!<br />
<br />
I always try to see the positive side of things, even when things in life keep getting in the way or putting yourself down. I'm making myself a list tonight with all of the things I would like to get done before April. I think putting in a time line would help a lot.<br />

I really did not know what to do at first. I didn't want to spend a fortune on flowers for every pew, and then something for the altar, and then throw it all away.<br />
<br />
One evening I was looking around everywhere on wedding sites that might have cute decoration ideas. I came upon this:<br />

Did you go through the DIY route for the church decorations?firemuffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615794595637457781noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466282363043537985.post-22029633603187976622009-11-23T23:07:00.005-05:002009-12-22T12:22:18.488-05:00Wha-? Gift Registries? We Don't Do Those HereYou see, here in Quebec or at least in the french community, gift registries are not really known. I had spoken to some family members and they said that they usually just give money at the wedding. I had gone to one wedding shower, the only one in the history on my father's side of the family (whom I have 5 aunts and 3 uncles: all with children of their own. You can do the math). What did they give as a "housewarming/wedding" gift? Canned food. Yes. You read correctly. <b>CANNED FOOD!</b> <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had actually seen these bowls at <a href="http://www.winners.ca/">Winners!</a>, but never got them thinking "well, I already have 2 bowls", which I now see that it is clearly not enough. When I make sweets I generally make two recipes at a time, so I constantly have to clean my two bowls over and over. They have really cute colors that generally run with the holidays and the seasons. Last April I had seen some beautiful shades of pastel for the Easter holidays. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
My mom pretty much knows what I want since I'm always blabbing away when we meet up for lunch once a week and also when we go to Winners! together (it's a mother/daughter ritual we have when I come over to her place).<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">wee bit of soymilk<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Mix the margarine with the icing sugar one cup at a time. If you want to make it creamier you add a bit of soymilk. Do it bit by bit because if you put too much at once you almost have to double the recipe of the margarine and icing sugar. As for the vanilla, it's really up to you. Start with 1 tsp and work your way up.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The picture I found tonight is so cute and I think I will actually use it in the wedding! Instead of <b>red velvet, </b>why not make it <b>blue velvet</b>? Heck, it would go with my teal accents!<br />

I don't like bouquets that are too busy and I'm not a fan of roses. I would prefer if they had yellow, white, and maybe some green. My two favorite flowers are daffodils and gerbera daisies.<br />

I have wide feet. Like REALLY wide feet. As in C or D wide feet. Plus, I have big man toes. I already have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit so you can imagine trying to find elegant wedding shoes! Gah. <br />
<br />
I originally wanted yellow shoes, but I couldn't find anything that was to my liking. Plus, I told my mom about maybe getting yellow shoes and she turned <b>white</b>. So then every time I would go shoe hunting in downtown Montreal for either green or blue shoes (for maybe my something blue), I would keep my mind open for anything that I could probably wear.<br />
<br />
Seeing as our wedding is in April, it might be warm, it might be cold. However, I cannot wear heels if the toe part is closed. Its a recipe for blisters and much more pain later since I'm starting bunions. Eeek. I hate bunions.<br />
<br />
I dropped by one of my favorite stores, <a href="http://www.winners.ca/en/index.asp">Winners!</a> It's basically a store which you can spend way too much time in scouring the racks of clothing, coffee, candles, dinnerware, shoes....ah the shoes! I hopped into the size 7.5 - 8 and ...I couldn't find anything. I was sad.<br />
<br />
Then, I spotted an orphan shoe.<br />
<br />
You see, lots of people who shop at Winners tend to try on one shoe and then put it back where it doesn't belong. Then you have a heck of a time trying to find it's twin.<br />
<br />
So I find this orphan shoe in <b>teal</b>. Priced at 79.99$ it was a little out of my budget (I've never bought pretty shoes for more than 60.00$) It looked really nice, but in a size 8.5? Hah. It would never fit it would be way too big. I decided to try it on and *magic happened*. You have no idea how hard it is for me to find shoes that fit. It was such a sigh of relief to find what I was looking for for months! But wait...I have to find the other shoe...somewhere hidden in this gigantic store. *sob*<br />
<br />
I kept the shoe and continued shopping around the store checking everywhere I possible could. I stopped by the gourmet foods/coffee beans to sniff the goodness and what do I find? THE SHOE! I grabbed it immediately and headed out the store ASAP. I did not want to regret this shopping find. <br />
<br />
I showed the shoes to my mom a couple of days later. She was a little skeptical about the whole colored shoes thing at first, but thought that I "hit the nail on the head" with these shoes.<br />
<br />

I have finally pin-pointed exactly which flavors we would like to have: almond, green tea, and vegan red velvet.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I made vegan red velvet cupcakes for a BBQ back in August<br />
</div><br />
Mr. Ferret and I love to have sweets from China Town which are usually made of coconut, almond, and green tea. Also, those are our wedding colors so it works out well.<br />
<br />
<br />
At first I wanted to make lemon cake since I absolutely<b> LOVE </b>lemon pie. However, after many tries, I couldn't get the right consistency of lemon taste. It was either too bitter or not enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
As for the vegan cake, my photographer <a href="http://www.frederikaphotography.com/">Frederika Wellet</a>, is vegan. I absolutely want her to have cake! Plus, the cake is really yummy to begin with.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the icing, I have perfected my recipe for vegan vanilla buttercream icing. I'm addicted to it myself! I would eat a spoon every time I would make the recipe "just to check if tasted alright". Haha.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm really glad to have tried these different types of cakes over the past few months. My guinea pigs/testers really enjoyed them all!<br />

We absolutely love kids, but we want our guests to have a wonderful time and have fun. <br />
<br />
So there's no ringbearer and flowergirl. Honestly, I've only seen it in one wedding that I have attended.<br />
<br />
I have seen something really cute that would be cool if we could wing it. Mind you, they would go a little crazy with all of the people around!<br />

I drank some iced cider and accidentally tipped my third glass onto my computer and modem which fried it. No fun. The technician had come on Friday to fix it, but apparently he was in the wrong area of town. I finally managed to call them today and they fixed it tonight. FINALLY!<br />
<br />
On another note, I failed the <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/">weddingbee</a> application -_-. I thought I would make it. It's a little frustrating since sometimes I feel that I could bring more to weddingbee than some other bees that have been on there. I guess I'll give it another shot sometime in the future.<br />
<br />
Whenever I feel down this little picture of this little guy always cheers me up!<br />

And 80s cartoon fans. We have a collection of DVDs next to the couch that can make some people blush. There are maybe 2 romantic comedies, but everything else is <span style="font-weight: bold;">action, suspense, thriller, mystery, or horror. </span>And then some wonderful little Disney movie here and there. <br />
<br />
So we thought of using our favorite movies as table numbers. I don't have a picture since I haven't started any printing as of yet (also since we don't know exactly how many tables we will have). <br />
<br />
Here is a bit of an example for titles: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rocky <br />
Transformers <br />
Predator <br />
Terminator <br />
Aliens <br />
Monsters Inc. <br />
The Little Mermaid <br />
Pirates of the Caribbean <br />
Van Helsing <br />
Beetlejuice <br />
Forrest Gump <br />
Stargate <br />

I checked out so many stores for dresses for the girls that I was getting so discouraged you cannot imagine. To the point that it was stressing me out more than everything else wedding related. Crazy eh?<br />
<br />
I tried finding light green dresses during the spring/summer collections since it's pretty much the only time that there will be this shade of green during the year. I was thinking along the lines of the color sage or bright green.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately all we could find were kiwi green or puke green. Bah. So frustrating! I really didn't want to go the black dress route. It would look really somber and feel like a funeral!<br />
<br />
One day Bridesmaid S went to a store that I thought we had checked out, but we completely forgot about it. She found a beautiful dress that I unfortunately do not have a picture of. However, its in this beautiful shade of teal.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">The dress we chose is not this one here. It's from RW&CO and it is strapless (with the option of adding straps), knee length, and empire waist. It's a stretchy material which is not spandex. All of the bridesmaids look lovely in the dresses! They all have different body types and this dress complements all of them.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I decided to go back to RW&CO to see if they had other dresses that I might like since I really like dresses...plus I need one for MOH C's wedding next September.<br />
<br />
<br />

I found this lovely flower which would go great for MOH C to either put it in her hair or to attach it to her waist. Plus, it is a shade darker than the sage green that I was looking for. Score!<br />
<br />
Did you ever change the dress color choice since you couldn't find what you originally find in mind?<br />

She mentioned that she went to an art store there that we don't have here and that I would really <span style="font-weight: bold;">really </span>enjoy it.<br />
<br />
You see, I'm a craft person. I went to Dawson College in Visual Arts hoping to do something useful with my skills. I love to create things with my hands. You know how some people have one or two hobbies? I've got too many! I knit, crochet, do beading, caking, lots of random DIY stuff. I have containers of beads, felt, wool, differents tools, paint...it's all over the place! So when I went to Michaels I went <span style="font-weight: bold;">berserk!</span> I was just astounded by how much different art supplies there were here! We were in there for almost 3 hours! Here is what we bought:<br />
<br />
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-lkjW3__6uPIH32Kr-9QU1sv7dyLMAmNP06s4Rh8H_jcDBvpgZwYtzGBI-0rBIFBrc9LKL-s2riEZXaFsK2OUko5AzeFAl-j2H8QqjqbaHJvRJbsb3FmUc1FlKCUaD_aHpJgk_bRZMWV/s1600-h/bubbles.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-lkjW3__6uPIH32Kr-9QU1sv7dyLMAmNP06s4Rh8H_jcDBvpgZwYtzGBI-0rBIFBrc9LKL-s2riEZXaFsK2OUko5AzeFAl-j2H8QqjqbaHJvRJbsb3FmUc1FlKCUaD_aHpJgk_bRZMWV/s320/bubbles.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398484697373486226" border="0" /></a><br />
Bubbles! Yes, something so plain I know. However, here in our "bridal boutiques" the bubble containers are small, chunky looking, and crazy expensive for nothing. I loved the way these were made. The could fit in your pocket without exploding. I was thinking of tying ribbon on the top for some flair.<br />
<br />

I absolutely love these! I thought of maybe adding something shiny on the bride and maybe doing something with the groom like put a mini bow tie on it to give it some depth.<br />

<br />
I also bought:<br />
<br />

2 invitation box sets from Martha Stewart<br />
Thank you cards<br />

Beads to make the bridesmaids' and MOH's necklace<br />
More ribbon<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Personally, I really <span style="font-weight: bold;">really </span>don't like these. They remind me way too much of the 80s and 90s and everyone else's wedding that I have been at.<br />
<br />
So I searched where else? <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy!</a><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">As you can see I like the bird theme. However, I didn't plan on buying an 80.00$ cake topper. They are really nice, but not worth it for me.<br />
<br />
One day, while shopping with my mom and MOH C in Plattsburg we spotted a Michaels store. We don't have any of these here in Quebec. We went NUTS! (More on that in a future post). I found this (please excuse my poor photography skills):<br />

What are your ideas for cake toppers? Going for the simple and traditional or something "way out there"?<br />

It seemed to me that <span style="font-weight: bold;">before</span> I needed a cake stand I saw them everywhere! And then, when I needed one most, I couldn't find one that pleased me.<br />
<br />
I had seen some simple glass ones at Wal-Mart, but I wanted to get something a little fancier since it will be for a wedding.<br />
<br />
I saw some cute ideas online, but the shipping to Canada would make it double to price. Aie-ayaie!<br />

But I don't have 160.00$ for a cake stand...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Well, one day browsing through random stores in Mount-Royal in Montreal I came upon a store which had a lot of kitchen stuff. I thought, "Heh, why not? I'll browse inside and see what I can find". And I found this one:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I know its not the prettiest one on the block, but for 15.00$ I am pretty happy with it. Plus, it's a light yellow which is part of my color theme.<br />
<br />
I'm happy with my cake stand. I still have a wondering eye though if I end up finding something else with a little more pizazz.<br />
<br />
What kind of cake stand style are you in the mood for your wedding?<br />

</div>Music that is! Not construction noises like we are hearing here at home. We're doing loads of renovations right now!<br />
<br />
Mr. Ferret and I grew up on late 80s early 90s music. <br />
You know what I mean.<br />

We plan to have a lot of Eurodance and some music that we heard throughout our teenage years. What I find truly interesting about Mr. Ferret is that we only met back in 2001, but it feels like we've known each other for much much longer. Heck, sometimes I put on one song and he looks at me as if to say " YES! I remember this!" and he smiles and dances a bit (he's shy about dancing heehee). However, when I hear music that I love, oh man, I will be dancing and you won't be able to stop me!<br />
<br />
These are a couple of our favorites for the wedding.<br />
