Not really one I want to make, but it's probably going to be needed.
So right now I'm thinking I'll have to choose between going back to Winnipeg for the holidays (plane ticket and bus ticket) or... the wedding dress that I want. And yeah, I tried some on a little while back and last night went for a quick look again. I keep gravitating towards one in particular. The kind that you just can't help but smile and stand a little taller when you put it on.
It's "just a dress" and sure it's a bit pricey considering it's $1098.00 which is probably more than I should be spending on one, but it's less expensive than 3000 dollars which is just plain insane. But at the same time it's the one thing I really want out of anything wedding related if not an actual wedding other than being married itself. It would just make it feel more like I did get that wedding that every woman gets to plan. But like I said, it's just a dress and if I need to I'll just go tell the dress shop thanks for their effort. Especially since I'd have to put a 25-50% deposit down like... now... in order to have it for around June/July. So 50% (You have to pay half for the order request to even be sent out to begin with...) right now is $620.37 then 5 payments of 124.07 a month after that... just considering the amounts alone I'm thinking I may just forget it as much as it's bugging me right now. It's just a thing, I'll get over it. :)
I mean, it'll be nice to see my old friends and family again. I left back in April so I've been gone for over half a year now. It'll be a week long trip so not too long, not too short. Just have to find someone to watch over our cats until we get back which is another issue all in itself.
In any case, I have a lot of thinking to do and going to hope for hours at work.
Time to start supper and maybe watch my Nikita downloads now... ciao.

Nikita = Win! I used to watch that every week when it was on tv.
ReplyDeleteTough decision with dress vs going to Winnipeg. I know very well the financial stress of going home at Christmas. This year's plane tickets cost me more than I wanted to spend...but I know it'll be so good to see everyone in Ontario (now if only they would come out to BC once in a while...or even just once really, since no one but my parents has come out to visit me in the almost 3 years I've been here....but that's a topic for another day).
Got any pictures of this pretty dress? :D
The travel cost for us will be around 1244 or a little more depending on the flight times and whatnot. That's to go there and back. His mom's going to let us live in the basement while we're there but it's still a strain for the cost. Then there's gifts. Where's the time when people could pick up a stick and say "here's your present! I picked it myself!"
ReplyDeleteyou definately have a decsion to make, i know which one i would make, and i bet you do too. but you have to do what is right for you, good luck. as long as you do what you want then you know it will be the right decsion.
ReplyDeleteChoice was made before I even noticed in my accounts that I had to make it. We'd already told everyone that we'd for sure be there... and to take that back now would just be wrong.
