The futility of it all - I love it!

[femme_letale]

Yesterday night, I had an epiphany. Like all epiphanies, it came unexpectedly, brought to me by the clever pickwick (hey, nice to see you!) and the dashing Dickon Edwards (hey, what a suit!). Like all epiphanies, especially Eureka! it has something to do with a particular thought that has been bugging me for a while, a thought, however, that is of no

I really didn't know about your other blog, Miss/Mrs/Dr!

I know I said it when Neil mentioned it the other day, but congratulations. Kellie and I both sqealed with glee when talking about it!

My other blog is really a consequence of studying 500 miles from where I live. My supervisors need to check up on me sometimes! So, it is not that interesting. I have to admit though, that, occasionally, I post some nice pictures on it.

Thank you (and Kellie) for the congratulations!

[femme_letale]

Thanks! It's exciting and scary. The scary bit goes for my mother, who is really driving me up the wall. You know about families. Yes, better leave it at exciting...

A wedding!

Awww, that's such lovely news! Congratulations to you both.

Thank you! And you are just the right person to ask this question: is it really wrong to have chosen a dress if I am getting married in August 2008? I am surprised at how much I know what I want!

Re: A wedding!

[pipistrellus]

No, not at all! With loads of bridal retailers/different dresses, the ordering time can be very lengthy, so it's great that you know what you want!

When you say that you've chosen a dress, have you actually tried the dress on? I've heard an awful lot of people say that often what they *thought* they wanted wasn't want they ended up with!

If you want to pick my brains about anything wedding related, I'd be happy to offer any advice that I can... with this to start you off: get your venue booked sharpish - August gets booked up way in advance!

Re: A wedding!

You see? This is the funny thing. the PhD puts you in the habit of being ahead of yourself all the time... The dress I have chosen will be in the shops in January, which is when I will go to the shop and try it out. You are right, it may be complete nonsense once is on. Do you recomend any bridal retailers?

This is a cross country wedding so, even if I have chosen I will have to go shopping and pretend to try things on with mum, gran and the evil aunties (ah, the theatre!)

As for the venue, I have a say field trip prepared when I go to Spainfor Christmas, the outcome of which MUST be a booking. All this conference organising may come in handy, finally!

I said this on Neil's LJ, and you may have already seen it, but I repeat it here, too, (this time with dumb typo corrected):

Congratulations!!! It is so true - you are really well matched, an amazing couple. I'm really happy for you both!

I wish you both every happiness - lots of love and congratulations!

[femme_letale]

you are really well matched

I think that is true, actually, and that's why marriage won't change much of anything (I hope), other than being a great excuse to have a party in Spain, and enjoy cricket and Earl Grey tea without having identity crises all the time. Oh, I said cricket, not England being defeated by the blond-black-magic-wizard-troupe. GRRRR.

Thank you! I like your hat!
