Long Beautiful Hair?

Okay, it seems to be common among my fellow bloggers lately to raise some questions and pleas for advice on hairstyles. I grew my hair pretty long so I could have it all fancy for the wedding, but once it gets too long, it starts to drive me crazy. I can see the split ends, and combing it elicits not-so-nice words out of my mouth.

I've got an appointment for a haircut tomorrow, but I'm sorta getting cold feet. Here's what my hair looks like now (with my lovely friend Aletha here; I'm the one on the right):

And here's how I want to cut it (the girl's hair, not Evan Lysacek's, though I do admire his skating):

The front (but maybe have mine a little longer):

The back:

Now keep in mind that I am not the ice-dancer extraordinaire that Tanith Belbin is. She's gorgeous and has the perfect facial features. So take this haircut and picture it on my face. Anyone who's good at Photoshop can feel free to take a crack at it! :)

In the end, I'll do what I want to do. But the advice of my friends always helps. So thanks!

And don't worry--I will have MANY wedding posts up here soon. I'm taking my time so you can get the whole visual!

Just the Beginning

I know I'm WAY late in posting this, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I'm sure most of the loyal readers here have seen the preview of our wedding photos. If not, check them out: http://amycarrollphoto.blogspot.com/2008/05/becky-matt-wedding-preview.html

Amy Carroll and her assistant, Angie, did a wonderful job with everything and couldn't have been more fun to work with.

The week of our wedding was more stressful than I could have imagined, but our wedding day was perfect to us. The week of, I had very stressful work things going on, plus all the last-minute things we had to do (programs, placecards, seating chart, buying ceremony flowers, etc. etc.). Thank goodness my mom arrived in town and went to work. Seriously, she was a lifesaver and pulled out the Mom juice in full force. She's awesome. Not to mention she fixed my dress for me, which we realized was much-too-much big the week before the wedding. And my wonderful alteration lady had jury duty all week and couldn't fix it for us. Let's just say that you could see down the front of my dress, and while I wanted to share this important day with my loved ones, I certainly didn't want to share that much. So my super Mom was able to take the dress in and it fit perfectly the day of the wedding.

I'm going to try to give a review of all our vendors and such, a little at a time. So stay tuned. I'll post many separate entries rather than one big one (this is my goal anyway).
