So... after all of the struggles with dress sizes, I've been somewhat silent on the wedding prep front.
The main reason for the silence is a combination of laziness and just too much going on!
Things that have been going on include: deciding on a dress color for bridesmaids, choosing flowers I like (red gerbera daisies), to have a DJ or a band (DJ won out), catering decisions, etc... Other things going on include: freaking out about trying to find a job for next year (one of my current schools decided to use a different company to supply its teachers next year), help a friend also find a job (kind of), and other miscellaneous things that go along with the end of the Japanese school year.
Last weekend, Shimon and I ended up going into the shop to choose and buy our wedding bands. In Japan a lot of women do not wear their engagement rings after they get married (such a waste if you ask me). So most wedding bands are not meant to go along with an engagement ring. That being the case and the fact that I want to wear my engagement ring along with my wedding band our choices of rings were fairly limited. Luckily we found a nice pairing (if not exactly a pair) of rings. To top it all off, they had a sale going on (part of why we wandered into the shop in the first place!). Our rings will be ready for pick up on April 2nd.
Also in big(gish) news, I found shoes!! I think they will be comfortable for the wedding and wearable after. AND they were a steal!! (Roughly $60!) I was feeling so happy over finding wedding shoes that I was inspired to by a second pair of shoes at the same shop. :-)
I will try to keep updated on wedding things from now on.., I'm sure I'll have lots to post coming up and I may even ask for opinions!!

So did you decide on heels? Open or closed toe? Strappy? Give some details!!! :)
Congrats on the rings, too. We bought mine in Fairbanks (we went down for a weekend, since we were living in Barrow at the time of our engagement) but we didn't find Josh's until three days before the wedding while searching frantically in a jewelry store in Phoenix... kind of last minute, I know!
Holy cow!! 3 days before the wedding!?!? That's a little last minute. ;-)
Shoes are a wedge (not very tall at all!) and creamy-goldish with a slight open toe. I think I might not wear nylons (open toe), so I'm going to have to try breaking them in before the wedding if I hope to avoid blisters.
It's nice to have some of the big purchases taken care of... now for the rest of everything!
