madandy!! Who is absolutely luvverly and exactly as I imagined her, albeit with much longer hair. I have no idea why I thought your hair was short, Andy? Her wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous and it fits! I also look like a really expensive courtesan in it, so perfect for Nell Gwynne. I have a newfound appreciation for the small things in life, like... oxygen. Once you're trussed into the dress you have much less lung capacity to play with, but it's totally worth it!!
Now begins the struggle to find a hotel room somewhere remotely close to the party venue--there's no way that I, as a corset novice, can sit for 80 miles and get enough oxygen :P I fear we may be in for some long taxi rides unless Dave decides that he's not drinking (unlikely).
Dinner is currently cooking away and filling the house with scrumptious aromas. I fear it may be a little late to the table as I completely forgot how long the cooking time would be for a pot roast. Eight hours or so in the slow cooker. Ah well. At least there'll be plenty of it, with some left over for sandwiches hopefully.
ETA. I'd forgotten what an impatient cook I am. I keep hovering over the slow cooker expecting to see it doing something. The irony of this hasn't escaped me.

Date: 2005-02-22 11:14 pm (UTC)Now that my costume is sorted out (apart from cleaning the mud off my own wedding shoes), I have to sort Dave's out. He's changed his mind at the last minute and I now have to make him a tail, some furry gloves and some cat-ears. I'm still not quite clear on what he's going as, but I'll buy the fabric and pretend it's for my nephew when I ask how to make a tail :P
