I've moved my wedding blog! Update your google readers!

See you there!



Note: I'll still be lurking on Xanga, people. I do like the community here. I'm just more familiar with using wordpress for blogging. :)

that I'm having a wedding this year.

Now don't get me wrong, every day I do think about married life and what that would be like. Mr. Zombie and I always tell each other each night about how excited we are to finally tie the knot. We've been focusing more about our life together than the actual fluff of the ceremony itself.

I know this is a good thing. At the end of the day, all that matters is the commitment we've made to share a lifetime together. However, we still have the menu to choose and a whole darn ceremony to plan. Argh, why didn't we just elope?!

Since November, Mr. Zombie and I haven't done a single thing that's wedding-related. No mention of a schedule being made, none of trying to actually figure out costs now that it's a new year and all the 2009 price lists are now released. Procrastination, procrastination, procrastination.

How can you guys focus on planning this party when you're more involved in planning your life together?

My six:

1. I'm deathly terrified of Christian statues... like statues of Mary, Jesus and misc. saints. This was the result of growing up in the Philippines in the early 90s when the news was constantly showing images of statues crying blood or walking.

2. I've got the "jimmy leg". I always have the constant urge to shake/move my leg whenever I'm sitting for long periods of time.

3. A huge bulk of my iPod consist of musicals and soundtracks. Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, Rent, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Rocky Horror etc. etc. etc. I mostly listen to showtunes than regular stuff.

4. I used to draw storyboards on scrap pieces of paper then throw them out. I hated letting people see my work. I still hate it to this day.

5. I've had problems with acid refluxe since the terrible week of binge-eating KFC chicken in 8th grade. I always carry hard candy and Zantac in my purse incase it strikes again.

6. I know the screenplay for the film "Homeward Bound" off by heart. I watched it way too many times when I was little.



I'm not sure who to tag this time around. I tell you what... if you decide to do this, just forward me your answers. K?

It was a little bit chilly when these engagement photos were taken so it was kind of a challenge to find something cool to wear to the photo shoot without making our layers of clothing look like a stuffed spring roll. Considering how last-minute our outfit picking was (we only rummaged through what we had in our closets the night before), I think we looked pretty cool-in-an-artsy-sort-of-way.

Anyway, here is how you dress a Zombie for engagement photos:

Mr. Zombie:
- The pants were from Trash and Vaudeville in NYC. I bought it for Mr. Zombie the last time I went there. They actually sport a very subtle red pin-stripe pattern.
- The Freddie Kruger sweater was from a store in Ottawa. It's awesome and nerdy.
- The suit jacket was a present from Alex's parents. It still had some fake blood in it from the Zombie Walk proposal.
- The shoes are Sailor Jerry Chuck Taylors. Mr. Zombie wears nothing else but chucks. These are his happy shoes.

Miss Zombie:
- Both the skirt and jacket were from NYC-based designers Beebop & Wally. They have a little makeshift shop in Soho, but have also traveled to Toronto for the One of a Kind Show. I love their clothes!
- The mini-beret was from le Petit Beret. This was the only thing I bought specifically for the engagement photos since I have such the fetish for mini-hats.
- The shoes are brown pin-stripe Chuck Taylors.
- The felt button pin was from Princess Lasertron (who recently plugged the photos on her blog! Thanks!). If you ever find any excuse to buy a button flower, buy one. They will change your life.
- The scarf was knitted by a friend of Mr. Zombie's as a "congratulations on registering your business" present. The logo is actually his production company's logo. I wore it to pimp him out. 
- The necklace was a duplicate Tokidoki Cactus Pup toy that I had lying around in my apartment. I made it into a necklace for toy-love-representin'.


How did you guys come up with your engagement photos outfit?
