Katie's Engaged!

[Phillip]

Congratulations Katie and Dan! We're so excited to hear that you both are getting married and commiting your lives to each other. You will have to keep us informed on all the details as things progress. Any plans for Muppety touches throughout the ceremony or reception?

lol, I told you Matt, Dans in charge of the music. And I thought that the band was broken up, but I could be wrong. Sorry, but thats just not mu choice, lol I gave it up for Kermit and Piggy on my cake lol. I showed him that and he was all "I dont know if I want kermit and Miss Piggy on my wedding cake" I told him that its ok, cuz its my wedding cake lol. so yeah, and I dont think he really wants me to wear my ruby slippers, something about being all in white, lol

I don't know you.... and I haven't read all of this thread yet, but I thought I might share this idea with you for your shoes. I wanted cinderella shoes for my wedding and I made them myself using rhinestones and they were georgous if I do say so myself.... WAY better than sequins in my oppinion. You can purchase the bulk quantity of red rhinestones at Joanns fabric or Michaels (get medium sized... not the tiny tiny ones). Purchase a white pair of dyeables from payless, you know, the kind that have cloth on them?

Apply the rhinestones using small beads of hot glue on the rhinestones and then press to the shoe. I started at the heal and worked my way around. This is very time consuming so you don't want to leave this to the last minute, but it is SOOO worth it!

After you've finished applying all of the stones, use exterior/interior varnish sold in little 2 oz bottles by Delta Ceramcoat sold at Walmart, Joanns, or Michaels. Apply it in thin layers with a paint brush over the stones and inbetween stones, etc. I used about four coats and my shoes are still in like new condition.... I've worn them to my wedding, the reception, and a christmas party (including dancing) and not one single stone has come off!

Congrats and Good Luck!

PS: If you wanna get REAL fancy, you can purchase the silver acrylic paint sold by same company and paint the bottoms of the shoes and then date/initial the inside of the heel to preserve them and then paint that with the exterior varnish as well. After everything is dry, purchase a pair of those shoe scuffs, can't remember what they are called, but they are applied to the bottom of dress shoes to keep from slipping on hard floors and such. This will keep the nice paint and the bottom of your pretty shoes from getting scratched up.... I wish I had thought of this at the time I wore mine.
