Alicia Ordered Her Dress!

I finally got over my natural aversion to dresses and ordered my wedding dress. Of course, being me, I could not obtain a dress in the normal way. I ordered my dress online directly from China.

In this dire economy I wasn't about to spend $3000 on a dress. So, I discovered that dresses are significantly cheaper if you order them online and have them shipped to you. So, I ordered my dress from Julius Bridal (www.juliusbridal.com)

I learned about this dealer from the Bridal Bargains book and looked around their website. I loved this dress immediately. I also have to admit that a part of what I loved about this dress is that it is called "Anita" which was my Grandma's name.

Here are a couple of pictures of it from their website:

I am very excited about this dress!

Las Vegas Reception

Brian and I finally booked the reception in Las Vegas. It is going to be held at The Buffet at the Wynn. Since the reception will be in the same casino as the wedding, guests will not have to go very far!

We booked The Buffet from 7pm until 9pm. So, if you are coming to the wedding in Las Vegas, be sure to leave lots of room for dinner! Also, you will not need to worry about lines; guests will be able to bypass the line and be seated in our section at 7pm.

This buffet is supposed to be the best in town with lots of delicious choices. According to my event planner, Linda, the Buffet has:

"Sixteen (16) live action exhibition cooking stations and a sumptuous array of extraordinary dishes [that] make this all-you-can-eat experience one that will re-define your notion of buffet dining. The endless parade of dishes is showcased beneath a sun-filled glass atrium surrounded by terraced seating and gardens."

Here are a couple of photos of the buffet:
