Chris and Jen

Chris and Jen got married this past November in Williamsburg (that's 2 down, I'm sure I have about 15 more weddings in Williamsburg to go!) in a beautiful fall-themed wedding.
Jen's mother made her dress! Now there's a budget-saver.The cake by our good friend Josh Carr was really spectacular - and he custom-made it as a gift to the bride and groom. It was every bit as delicious as it was beautiful.
All the gorgeous photos above are courtesy of Kim Hawthorn of Photos Unscripted. Below are some not-quite-as-spectacular shots I managed to snag when not enjoying myself as a guest.

I thought this was pretty cool - inside the church the pews were decorated with wheat (what do you call them - stalks?) and tied with chocolate-colored satin ribbons. It was an inexpensive way to really bring the fall theme together.
The vineyards at the reception site - The Williamsburg Winery.
Another way not to break the bank, the tables had very creative centerpieces - hollowed out pumpkins the came from a friend's orchard, with floating candles.

I loved how the chandeliers at the Winery were decorated with vines. . .it really gave the room a romantic feel. The getaway car.

Title: Noctis, Stella, Cloud, Tifa - King of my castle (Teaser???)

-Watch HQ-
This movie wasn't made originally for being uploaded. It was something I did for myself to try some effects but also to work as an "inspiration board" for a possible amv serie to come. It depends on how the inspiration chocobos feels O_o

I know it isn't mega synced, even though I did try both the flashy flashy but also to blurr, zoom to the exact beat, but to be honest, didn't think it add anything to the vid so decided not to do it that way. Might be that this is my first "techno/bouncybouncy" vid I've ever made, so not that strange if I couldn't pull it off. Even though tried to pick clips that followed the rythm most of the time...

Anyways... on to the plot.. or well idea behind it..

-Story-
There is none! Ha! (lazy ftw?) at this moment. Basically I had some ideas I've been thinking about like making a fanfic combining "Ghost in the shell" with final fantasy. Therefore pretending that our beloved characters really are cyborgs/machines.

So I guess we might call this a teaser for a possible/impossible amv serie to come...

Colorthingy I had in mind. Supposed to be like, vision, but they can't watch thereself so therefore it's not really that, just their color I guess O_o
Cloud = Blue
Noctis= Green
Tifa= Yellow
Stella= Pink

Poor Lightning gets to play Stella again... for now.

Program: Sony Vegas pro 8
Music: Warmdue Project - King of my castle
Clips: FF:ac, FF:XIII
Inspiration: Ghost in the shell, but also ninja the "training helmet" (chroma keying Angeal, manage to fail with completley removing him, notice that after rendering :/) idea from various editors, Gr3iM being one of em (got awesome vids, check em out!)
Dedication: To meeeeeee... well it's my "inspiration board" after all.

Pls Enjoy, Comment, Rate

Wearing your bridesmaid dress again...

Ah, the legendary bridesmaid dress. Now, it seems as though every bride loves to tell us-"oh don't worry. You can definitely wear it again. The $400 will completely seem worth it after the 3rd wedding." And as nice as the dress is, how many times are we going to wear that chiffon full-length dress in Jade. Chances are-zero!

And of course this problem is not limited to bridesmaids-the brides often have a difficult time deciding what to do with their once beloved gown. Sherry from Young House Love decided to forgo popular advice and came up with a solution-dying her wedding gown black. You can read all about her adventure here.

After reading her story, dying a bridesmaid gown could be a good idea. Our advice:

• Don't try it on a gown that you really want to wear again. If the dress gets ruined, chances are there's no way of salvaging it.
• Read up on dying at All about hand dyeing and Rit Dye.
  
• All the online advice says not to try to dye a polyester dress.

Consider a professional dying service like DyePro Services.The prices start from $45 to dye an unlined dress while lined dresses start at $75. Others include Spectrum.

Our warning-we are not legally liable for any damage that results to our dress. Attempt and DO at your own risk.

We just might try it. After all, we weren't going to wear this dress ever again anyway.

Title: Taylor Swift - Last Kiss Lyrics [OnScreen+InDescription]

from her new album Speak Now (:
Lyrics:

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go
Away
Away?



I do recall now
The smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember
The swing in your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did


Because I love your handshake
Meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day when I don't miss those rude interruptions

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and town
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last
