What to wear?

I started looking at possible wedding dresses today. I'm still very far from buying one. Although, frankly, I'd like to get it over with right now! But see the pictures below for my top three wedding dresses (for the moment!) for the Western wedding.

It's funny. There's a lot of waiting when it comes to weddings. My inclination is to do, do, do. But there is a certain amount of patience involved. Waiting for people to get back to you. Booking things in the right order (as opposed to everything at once).
Waiting for the priest get back from vacation so you can ask him a couple of questions.
I'm not very patient, so this is a true test for me. Plus I'm on the opposite coast from all the action, so that doesn't help either. If it weren't for Walker, who, by the way is very patient, I would have exploded about a week ago.

Anyway, we booked the church, Grace Episcopal Church, on Martha's Vineyard. Which means, we now also have a date! The Saturday before Labor day: September 5, 2009.
I am totally tickled by the fact that we have to have 3 counseling sessions with the priest before we can get married there! And at least one of us has to have been baptized. (Luckily, we both have, though, technically, I'm Hindu. It's a little confusing, I know.)

And we're currently working on the location for the Indian wedding. It's a private club, so the woman wouldn't even talk to us without a referral. Thank goodness for The Lewises. Walker's parents came to the rescue on that one and a friend of theirs vouched for us.

There are so many little loops to jump through. So far, I'm finding it really fun. And it so exciting when something actually pans out!
