In a dream world, they’d all be in 1950s cocktail dresses, but that’s a little out of the realm of possibility for a wedding on a budget.  Next thought was purple, but I’ve also decided against that.<br/><br/>So… I’m going with black knee length cocktail dresses of the girls’ choice.  The chance that she might already have a dress in her closet or be able to wear it again is a big factor for me. Additionally, I have all shapes and sizes and I’d like my friends to wear what makes her look and feel best.</p>http://whatiworedowntheaisle.com/post/481612462http://whatiworedowntheaisle.com/post/481612462Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:01:51 -0400Jessica<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz18rwDrm81qz66w5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://kvknowsherfun.com/post/437410953/thats-right-the-wedding-planning-has-officially">kvknowsherfun</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>That’s right, the wedding planning has officially started.
