Year of Weddings
As we stepped into 2012, happy news kept on coming and now we have 3 confirmed weddings to look forward to!! And to prepare for too, even if they are on short notices, because they are the people closest to me and I would give up anything to be there for their big day!
My childhood friend Eva is tying the knot with her SO of 11 years (or more?) in July, then 2 months to the day my brother is gonna be a groom to start his own family! Last but not least my awesome friend Elle is going to be walking down the aisle in December!! A summer wedding, an autumn wedding followed by a winter wedding - one in every season!!
When's my turn??!!!

silver shoes

Since I am going to be a bridesmaid for B's best friend who is having her wedding in July (too bad he couldn't be a bridesmaid!) I was asked to wear silver shoes with the purple dress to go with the theme colors of purple and silver. I have nothing of that sort in my wardrobe, however, so I thought it'd be a great idea to start looking. I haven't decided to go with flats or heels yet - do I weigh comfort over appearance? After all, the gorgeous bridesmaid dress is a full-length evening gown that might require something with a touch of class and elegance. It's the perfect excuse to go shopping for new shoes, but it's gonna be difficult to choose among all these adorable offerings!

recovery weekend
Hell is finally over, or so I hope. After being awaken around 3 a.m. on Friday I couldn't get back to bed, so I started my weekend with a lot of LOL practice. I think they must have done something with Shen in the latest update patch because he used to be a better tank and much less squishy.
When the sun came up, I decided to hit the gym for some last minute shape-ups and tried a spinning class. Boy, I thought I'd never sweat so much in BodyAttack, but this group cycling class they call "All Terrain" had me soaked 5 minutes into the routine. I loved the music, but kept feeling like I couldn't go on every time the instructor cued us to increase the resistance. I got a little wobbly coming off the bike, and my neck and shoulders were sore. Otherwise, I felt great! I think I will give it another try, this time sticking to instructions about upping the gear - I kinda cheated and kept the resistance about the same throughout most of the class. It's definitely a good alternative to the high-impact BodyAttack.
After my workout I headed over to B's - I wanted him to see what I would be wearing to his cousin's wedding. He didn't like the blue dress Michelle and I had picked out, so I went in a black chiffon dress instead. Getting ready took longer than expected and since B's mom volunteered to do my hair, I didn't get to attend the ceremony. We did make it in time for the reception though. It felt quite uncomfortable - I must have had way more hairspray in my hair than I'd normally use in a year and I had on makeup so thick that I had to wash my face twice to remove it all.
But it's worth it, don't you think?
I spent the rest of the weekend in Markham because I wasn't going to drive after all those glasses of wine Saturday night and I had a splitting headache on Sunday (maybe a hangover?). It was definitely nice to not have to worry about anything - and now that mom's back from HK, I'm hoping that everything will be OK.
