Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!

I Got My Dream Dress (Sort of)!

September 28th, 2010 @ 11:02 am by Mrs. Barrettes

I haven’t written the post about how amazing my MOH is, but it’s coming…

Umm—behind my back, he had a tailor create a dress similar to the Marchesa dress!!!

I was still on the hunt for my reception dress, but the search ended when I flew down to LA to hang out while Mr. Barrettes had his bachelor weekend in Tahoe. I walked into the guest room and my beauty was hanging on the closet door!

It fit me like a glove and needed no alteration. When I walk, the full skirt totally floats and flutters around me—I love it! My wedding dress dreams totally came true. Mom’s dress is altered so well for the ceremony, and my reception dress is perfect for barrel-room boogieing! Happy wife, happy life!

Do you love your reception dress as much as your ceremony dress?
