To be honest, for several years of me early teens, I didn't want to get married. It's only during this year that I've actually look forward to. Here are some of the ideas I've been really loving:
1. Balloons! I love balloons lately. They're so pretty!
2. Pennant banners. I made one for my cousin for her graduation party, and I fully intend to make one for my wedding (whenever that is).

4. One thing I really, really want to have at my wedding is a photo booth. And in that photo booth I want to have props like these. Geeky glasses; a bow tie; and a funny, fake bow tie - my favorite!
6. I love ice cream. It and brownies are my favorite deserts, add a beautiful dish and adorable, heart shaped waffle cone and I think you've just made the perfect wedding treat!
7. I fell in love with this picture as soon as I saw it. Until then I had never thought of having mismatched bridesmaid's dresses. Now I am *in British accent* totally and completely planning on having each brides maid picking her own dress (but with a common color theme).
8. While all the brides maids were getting ready for my friend, Sarah's wedding, Heather and I started talking about how we would like our brides maids hair done for our weddings. At the times I had no idea what I would like, but when
Elsie Cakes's tutorial for messy buns, I realized that that would be perfect! Definitely something I would love for my brides maid's hair!

9. Thank you again to
Maggeygrace for bringing this picture to my attention! I completely love the whole outfit: the bow ties; the cardigans/blazer; the jeans - even the boutonnieres. Add some converses and you've got, in my opinion, just about the coolest outfit a guy could wear! Here's hoping my fiance has the same impeccable taste!

10. "Just about" a word that here means "the coolest outfit aside, of course, from the 10th Doctor's outfit." A suit, and tie and converses - who'd have thunk it?? Of course, the trench coat would be awkward for a wedding, but if my fiance wants to wear the rest of it, I'll not be complaining! *winks*

11. I love Elsie Cakes "
married finger." I am determined to do this when I get married.

12. And what about my dress? Well, I definitely want a shorter dress. I was looking for a picture of one when I happened upon this one. I may be biased by the big, sea foam green thing
behind the dress, but for whatever reason, I love it. Just look at the cool headlights - I mean, lace details. <3

So that's all for my wedding inspirations. What do you all want when you get married?
Just plain "Watson" wasn't enough of a nick-name for Heather, so she added a first name - Emma after Mrs. Emma Peel from the old Avengers TV show. After watching three and a half seasons of Doctor Who she added a middle name as well: Rose after our favorite of the Doctor's companions, Rose Tyler. So now I am Emma Rose Watson.

I thrifted this dress while Jack was visiting. I'm not usually a fan of maxi dresses on myself, but I just couldn't pass up the lovely lace details on this one!
I wore it the day after I got it. Jack drove me down to the beach and we got to spend some time just walking through the fog and taking lots of pictures. It was a really special time since I don't usually get to go on many adventures with my "big sister."

The power was out for four days while Jack was here. On one of those days Jack and I got a huge hankerin' for ice cream. But, unfortunately all the places that normally sell ice cream within walking distance of my house (we didn't have a car available) also had no power. So we took the opportunity to walk head to the beach for the second time that day, as the ice cream shop there had power, and we invited Christina to accompany us. Here are some of the pictures I took that day:
This is Christina and my signature pose. We tried to do it from either side of the road, but a car let us go across, and we had to run quickly, so we didn't have time. You can see the rest of the photos from that day on my Flickr page - if you so desire.
"Dress everyday like you'd run way with the Doctor in those clothes."
Anyway, about this outfit. I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago when Heather was visiting. We spent every night she was here watching Doctor Who, and, being the nerdy fan girl I am, I decided to base and entire outfit around The Doctor. Voila! The bow tie isn't exactly from my favorite Doctor (David Tennant is, in my opinion, the best Doctor the world has ever known) but - well, I agree with Matt Smith. "Bow ties are cool." *grins*

The second day Heather was here, she walked with me to a local park to get some outfit shots. It was a lot of fun, and I got a lot of pictures of her, and of the two of us that I'll share next week.
This outfit was inspired by one of Kitty Gallannaugh's photo shoot that was styled by Jennifer Lilly Designs. It's one of my all time favorite photo shoots.
