I think loose curls down is very romantic!
to 25 days!
Oh, the jewelry is so beautiful (and funky)! I love it!
I also love the 'dos! I'm very anti-updo because of the way it pulls on my scalp (migraines), so I'm always partial to the down'do. They're all very romantic. And even in the one where you mentioned pouf, I didn't really see it.
Loose and down sounds so pretty! Ekkk You guys are getting so close!
The jewelry is amazing! I love the colors. I love wedding hair down and loose curls, very classic beauty! Oh my gosh, you're getting sooo close! The countdown is on!
Thanks, everyone! We have the official countdown calendar posted: 19 days! Holy crap... I'm working hard on making my arms look rock solid, whitening my teeth, and practicing my breathing for those Bridezilla moments.

I just this week found an image of my dress on a foreign website and I set it as my desktop and I keep minimizing all my screens to look at it. It is so stunning and it makes my heart smile to think of it. I am SOOOOO glad you feel that way about your gown. Every 
should feel that way. 
What will I ever do when it is over!
It's funny; I think there are three types of responses: people like my parents, who feel so bad about the rest of society that they overcompensate in their excitement for our wedding; people who don't think of our wedding as any different than any other; and people who are nasty or negative. Sounds similar to most people's experiences with having a Disney wedding, doesn't it!
