Listener: Thank you for your concern. She doesn't get upset easily. She knows I have a good fashion sense when I need to impress and doesn't get upset over the whole thing. The reason I do not wish to tell her because there's a few surprises she is going to get for her wedding day. All of which I am aware she will be happy about.
1) Few songs sung to her and guitar solo's
3) few other unmentionables
She
is not a bridezilla. When I say she is very understandable, slow to
anger, and very open to changes, as is her family, I really mean it.
Unfortunately this sounds like all the cliche's you hear people saying
about the person they're marrying. But we've been together for 7 years,
living together for 6. We've gotten to know each other and understanding
what upsets each other pretty well.
Pale.employer: I agree with you that is not a bad idea. But I do know that she wouldn't openly acknowledge her view for the simplistic but suave view of your recommendation. But I have a feeling she would be much more impressed and feel like she had a memorable wedding with a few surprises. I'll that in mind in case I can't find what I'm looking for.
Respectful.observer: That is a great idea. I didn't even think of it. I'm going to have to investigate! Thank you.
Lou- I went ahead and opened this discussion with her mother. She already thinks that's a great idea and is sorta helping but I do not wish to overwhelm her to help me on top of what she's already doing with my fiance.
scratchme- Oh yes, good advice. Believe me if
i'm going to spend a good 700 bucks on a custom made outfit, it'll be
EXACTLY what I want. I have long hair too, down to my hips. Going to get
my hair done as well, not chopped off, just very presentable in the
long hair department for guys. I'm a rocker at heart, goatee (i'm sure
you get the pic).
Finkel~Oh don't get me wrong. I don't want to dress like Prince. He's not my hero or anything like that. I just realized his style is very similar to what I personally feel okay with. I don't mind wearing something that's little bit risky, obviously i'm not going to show up in a blouse and skirt. I'm not going to do any 'make up' or anything. But the blue and white outfit fits me, the black and red fits me. I feel comfortable in them enough to have the confidence to pull it off. Screw social conventions. Of course her mother will see the outfit and give her stamp of approval in the end.
ShirleyW - LOL LOL I must sound like a 9 year old huh? "I wanna dress like Prince!!!!!" ...no I don't want to dress like him lol. And keep in mind, it's the STYLE that i've been attempting to describe to my friends and family that prince nailed on the head of the nail with those few outfits. I do not like ALL of prince's styles. I mean can you imagine I come out with a yellow spandex suit with the butt area cut out with giant circular holes for my tush and no underwear? lol no no no It's the style I see in those few outfits he picks. ...And I'm 34 years old.
My fiance's the one that's pushing for me to wear the traditional culture's outfit for the ceremony =/ more than anyone else! She's seen the one that I picked and just swooned over it. "OMG you'll look like A prince! YOU GOTTA wear that! " etc... She loves the idea about the ceremony indian outfit.
