NO FEATHERS!

*Photo heavy post ahead!*

I wanted to share some cuteness and laughs from aforementioned niece-to-be. About a month and a half ago, I gave her a stack of wedding magazines to go through since she has been super excited about mine and Scot's upcoming wedding; seriously.. I think her excitement rivals my own (is that even possible?!). The instant one was put in front of her, she started flipping through pages and writing on every. single. item. about what she did and did not like (she eventually switched to post-its, but not that it mattered much to me!). They were returned a few weeks later by the future in-laws, chock full of tips and ideas and major fashion faux-pas'. I took pics of some of the cutest since all of them would take up, oh I don't know, a month worth of posting. If her plans for being President don't work out, she has MAJOR potential to be at least VP or... a wedding planner!

So here you go.. I've rewritten the captions bigger below the photo so they are easier to read.

Tips on wedding dresses:

"Just to let you know, about 30 pages into the book, I stopped writing 

NO FEATHERS! 'cause there were so many cases of feathers it was

too much. So, anytime you see feathers, IT'S A NO!"

((I'm a little sad about this because I like feather hair pieces!))

"Woah! Um, excuse me, where's the girl down there? But I

LOVE the top, the makeup, and the hair!"

((I agree, no poofiness down below!))

"I like the embellishments! The hair piece is very nice, and so are you!

So consider this one."

((Aw, I'm nice! And highly impressed with her vocab.))

Tips on ceremony and decor:

"This looks like an interesting thing to try, sleep on it, will ya?

But it might be too sappy."

((Sappy and super trendy, yes, but I love it just the same!))

"This is a nice outdoor setting, but I think it'll cost too much

on every table."

((I love that she realizes that things can be expensive - I don't know if I had that kind of wisdom at her age.))

"Ooh! Bamboo! That's interesting! If you're a massage therapist, 

it kinda fits you."

((And I am! And we were actually totally thinking of bamboo centerpieces and favors!))

"And we've reached eco-freakatopia!"

((Ok, so I'm guessing that's a no-go, heh.))

"I like this, too. And it'd be cool if it was a baiobab tree, or something

living. You could ask people to put shout-outs and keep it forever."

((I don't even know what a baiobab tree is, but it sounds AMAZING.))

"If you were to do this, make it a color matching your invitation, which you

place next to it. For time and day, put here and now! It'd be cute."

((I love this idea, especially the "Here and now!" part.))

Tips on favors:

"These are cool holders. Make sure they're big enough to hold his

guiness or guiny or whatever."

((She sure knows her uncle Scot and his love of Guinness!))

"Are you techy? Try these."

((I like to think so ;) ))

"OMG I LOVE DUCKS! Gimme gimme gimme."

"If you can get them cheap, make these favors, too."

((Note to self: Buy Syd some ducks!))

"Too cheesy, too beesy!"

((Oh no! You think we can make her like bees before she gets married?!))

Tips on parties and honeymoons:

(For a bachelor/bachelorette party)

"I would just do a simple pool day or mani-pedi's at my aunt's place:

Angelic Nail and Skin Care. For the guys, a simple night at the bar..

or the movies."

((Already promoting! See what I mean about an excellent planner?))

"I'm not sure you should go there.. it may seem fun but what happens

if you spend too much after the wedding..."

((So incredibly true! Again, with the wisdom!))

And.. some of my favorite.. tips on cake toppers:

"Like I said, Uncle Scot would so do that so think about it."

((Yes, yes he would. I love this one!))

"These are too cute.. are you a shopper? Or are you a tweeter?

That is the question."

((I am SO A TWEETER!))

"He's tall, you're slender, and you have red hair. Think about his hair color, though."

((I'm loving the flattery here!))

"He's only partially Irish.. I don't think Uncle Scot's even Scottish! IDTS."

((Heh, love the joke! Sorry babe, no kilt for you.))

((Oh, and she clarified for me that IDTS means I don't think so. Just FYI ;) ))

And there you have it. My 10yr old future wedding planner!!
