Dreaming of Dresses…

Posted by Rebecca on June 22, 2008

Looking at dresses (’cause what’s a girl on Cloud 9 supposed to do)…
I’m liking Alfred Angelo; in no particular order (as far as favorites go):

^Style 1205 – Eh; maybe. I don’t really like the two piece look and that train ain’t happin’.

^Style 1231 – Sequins? It looks pretty on screen, but doesn’t really sound good. Maybe sequins are pretty in person. Ha!

^Style 1606 – My boobs would pop out, but it’s pretty nonetheless. (Sequins scare me though…)

^Style 1612 – A little plain looking at it now, but this was the first dress I fell in love with (before the proposal was even made).

^Style 1634 – I like the lace… so pretty.

^Style 1678 – A splash of color again…

^Style 1719 – I like the lace, but the semi-cathedral train is not the look I’m going for. I do, however, like the fact that the satin ribbon can come in a purple/color.

^Style1774 – I need to learn the bridal gown lingo – what’s a chapel train?

^Style 1807 – Lace, lace, lace… (I probably will be over the lace phase once I do finally go dress shopping. Ha!)

^Style 1963 – Cinderella… Awe!

Looking at my list one might think I liked every gown ever made… Ha! (In case you didn’t count already, I only chose 10… That’s not all that many.)

Please, if you have any comments about any of the dresses listed (or any advice on what to look for when dress shopping), leave me a comment. I appreciate them all!

That’s enough for tonight; I have to go – Cubs are playing the Sox on ESPN; can’t miss that game. Go Cubs! Go!

(BTW, all these pictures came straight off the Alfred Angelo website; I’m still learning and I don’t know how to credit the fabulous photographers…  If I’ve stepped on your toes, please let me know and I will promptly correct it.  I’ve had this blog for all of a few hours…)

“Our Journey To ‘I Do’”

Posted by Rebecca on June 22, 2008

I’m also working on this second scrapbook. I actually started it first, but it’s about events that are presently happening, so sometimes it gets put on the “back burner” until there is a new event I can scrap about.

P1. Title Page: Our Journey to “I Do”

P2/P3. Meet John Jason Dyer/Meet Rebecca A** W*****

P4/P5. Boy Meets Girl/Girl Meets Boy (still a little unclear as to what my inspiration is exactly… maybe something about us meeting on OKCupid.com)

P6/P7. Jason’s First Impression of Rebecca/Rebecca’s First Impression of Jason

P8/P9. First Date (2 page layout – I already have it done and it’s AWESOME!)

p10/P11. “He Proposed” (Was going to be a 2 page layout, but I didn’t exactly get the elaborate proposal I was anticipating, so I don’t know what I’ll do now to fill the 2 pages.)

P12/P13. Rebecca finally graduates (2 page layout)

P14/P15. Moving Day (2 page layout about moving in together)

P16/P17. Planning the BIG DAY (2 page layout)

P18/P19. His vows/Her vows

P20. In Love “Forever and Ever”

This is also a 12×12 book (blue silk). It’ll make a nice “coffee table book”.

Cruise scrapbook

Posted by Rebecca on June 22, 2008

I’m also looking forward to scrapbooking about our upcoming cruise.

Has anyone out there ever scrapbooked about a cruise? What are the pages/moments/events/memories that I “must include”?

Even if you don’t scrapbook but have been on a cruise, you could share with me your fondest memories or memories you don’t want to forget…

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

“Moments of a Lifetime” scrapbook

Posted by Rebecca on June 22, 2008

I’ve recently gotten involved in scrapbooking. (I’d also like to learn to quilt if anyone has the patience to teach me…)

Anyway, I wanted to share the page ideas with you all for my most recent book. (It’s a 12×12.)

If you think I’m forgetting any important pages, please feel free to offer your opinion.

P1. Title Page: Moments of a Lifetime w/ inspiration for the book, “When an old man dies, a library burns.” (I don’t want my library to burn…)

P2/P3. Birth (to include copy of birth certificate, ultra sound, Mom’s story vs. Dad’s story, etc.)

P4/P5. 1984 (what was going on in the world and such) and the meaning/origin of my name

P6/P7. Birthstone/Zodiac

P8/P9. Mom/Dad

P10/P11. Grandparents W***/Grandparents W*****

P12/P13. Susan/Michael

P14/P15. Monica/Megan G*****

P16/P17. Illinois/Houses

P18/P19. Preschool graduation (’cause I have pictures)/schools

P20/P21. Girl Scouts/Grandma Melba’s cookie receipe

P22/P23. Alabama/Houses

P24/P25. schools/”Sweet 16″

P26/P27. Sparkman High/UAH

P28/P29. cars (Contour, broken Contour, Grand Prix)/broken bones

P30/P31. Whiskers/Spirit, Sadie, Tiger

P32/P33. “Dream Job”/jobs

P34/P35. The Little Mermaid/Chicago Cubs

P36/P37. Jason Dyer/2008

The rest of the pages I thought I might do some straight-up journaling. I’m looking to “The Book of Me” by Angie Pedersen and “All About Me” by Philipp Keel for inspiration.

This is a big undertaking… especially since I have “perfectionist” tendencies. I’m very excited though.

Things to look forward to…

Posted by Rebecca on June 22, 2008

I’ve always wanted a countdown ticker, but I’ve never had a reason or a place to put them.

I promise not to go ticker crazy…!


Jason and Rebecca, along with Jason’s parents, leave out of Nashville (to San Juan, Puerto Rico)

on April 26, 2009

for a 7-day cruise through the southern Caribbean on board the Caribbean Princess.

Ports of Call to include:

San Juan, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Tortola, St. Thomas, and San Juan once again.

It’s been a long time coming!

Rebecca will graduate

on May 9, 2009

with a Bachelor’s in Engineering

(civil engineering) from

The University of Alabama in Huntsville.


The original plan was to turn this blog into primarily a “planning diary” for the upcoming wedding

on May 15, 2010.

As of this writing, the engagement has not been made public yet.

Neither of us have told our parents (long story), but hopefully that is in the near future.


Jason will graduate from ITT-Technical Institute (Nashville campus) sometime mid-2010

with an Associate of Applied Science degree.

(I put in July 1, 2010 just because I wanted him to have a ticker too…)
