Wedding Weirdness - Part 4

Fact- You will spent more time on random little details of the wedding than you will on the big stuff (location, cake, etc). So far the two things that Nate and I have spent the most time on are trying to find ties for the groomsmen, and trying to find the correct color and width and style of ribbon for the cake. We still don't have the ties settled (we can't find more than 2 of anything that works for us and yes, we did once drive to 6 different area JC Penney's..multiple times each... trying to track down multiples of three different ones that worked without finding any more at any location.. go figure)

On the ribbon, we finally bought some that wasn't as dark as we wanted, but it'll do because we are tired of hunting and it is darker than anything else we've found so far. Our search encompassed Michael's, Hobby Lobby, at least 2 Wal Marts, and multiple JoAnn fabric stores. Our 'acceptable' ribbon was courtesy of Harwin when I went to buy bridesmaid jewelry.

On a happy note, my dress is in!!! I am going to pick it up this weekend when we go to visit my brother and sister-in-law in SA!! Now let's just hope that it fits :P Working is such a bummer when you are about to take a trip.. we're leaving around 4:30 this afternoon for SA and I can't wait!!! Just 9 hours and I can leave work behind for three days :)

***Funny side note- the spell check on "Harwin" suggested I may have meant to type "harem"

Dark brown ribbon is almost impossible to find. However, when you place the ribbon on the cake, it darkens as the shortening from the icing soaks into it. So you probably have the perfect ribbon - yay.
