Not again!

i think i'd rather eat split pea soup everyday for the rest of my life than look at another bridesmaid dress.
Is it like some sort of rule that bridesmaids dresses have to be ugly and really really ridiculously expensive?
and that the places that sell bridesmaid dresses have to be really really ridiculously far away from, I don't know, say EVERYTHING!
I was on east 78th looking at dresses today. EAST 78TH! I'm sorry, but I have no business being on east 78th. Apparently I have no idea how to navigate the east side. Who's stupid idea was it to stick lexington, park and madison between the numbered avenues, huh? That is a constant source of confusion for me. You know why? CAUSE I NEVER GO TO THE EAST SIDE!
Needless to say I was there today. It's like a whole other world over there. Dare I say it's cleaner?
Anyway, I looked at MORE bridesmaids dresses and I changed my mind AGAIN about what I'm interested in. I've given up on getting dresses that my bridesmaids will wear again. I hate to break it to you all, but there's no such thing. So right now, I'm just trying not to have them look ugly, matronly or bridesmaidsy and I'm trying to keep the price down (hah! fat chance!) Although I will tell you that a lot of places will give you a 10% discount on each dress if you have 5 or more bridesmaids so when you're picking your bridemaids more is definitely better :-)
Ok, now I'm going to go look at the only think that irks me more than these dresses...caterers. Lord, help me!

We Picked a DJ!

Music is very important. More important than food. (Even though food at a wedding costs an arm and a leg. What's up with that?!?!)
Anyway, back to the food and music thing...think about it. Wouldn't you rather boogie down all night long than stuff your face?
I certainly would. Although the right bowl of pasta would make me think twice.
Oh goodness, what am I talking about? The point is I am SOOOO happy that we have finally chosen a dj! It was a hard choice. Our wedding planner is top o' the line so she suggested two really great companies, but we're going with this place called MyDeejay.com. Ok, it's not the greatest name in the world. But our dj is indian, (hiw name is Soor Kothari, you can see a picture of him here) which just makes me happy for no particular reason. And he knows all the cool indian music, which makes me happy because I am indian and I DO NOT! So if you have any indian music requests, lemme know. BHANGRA NOW!
:-)

p.s. I am now officially taking song requests. Just comment on this (or any) blog entry with your ideas!
