I am posting this off of Bits n Bobs blog with her permission... if you can please help... Thank you

A very dear friend and designer needs our help.

It is with sadness that I let you know our very own Felice's (aka Felice Original) Husband is currently in Hospital after having Sever Stroke Like Symptoms after having a vein near rupture in three places... This is NOT minor :( Henk underwent a harrowing surgery yesterday where metal threads were inserted into the effected vein to give it strength. Henk has pulled through this surgery but is by no means "out of the woods" :(

Unfortunately ~ Insurance does NOT cover this in the Netherlands (where Felice & Henk are situated) so I am reaching out to you all to help with a MASSIVE COLLAB...

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO FELICE & HENK TO HELP WITH COSTS!!!

The name of this Personal Use Collab will be: TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES

The Theme: GOTHIC

Please feel free to forward and Post This ~ The More the Merrier!

Please contact Krissy at the addy below if you can take part.

OK OK I had some help, my great friend Jess/litlgrlblue came up with my song that i'm walking down the aisle to. So far here is the music List

The song that the moms and grandmas and shanes sisters are walking down to being escorted by the groomsmen is : A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson

The Bridesmaids are walking down to: Bellas Lullabye by Carter Burwell off of Twilight

I'm walking down to : Clare De Lune by Debussey

The Sand Ceremony : There You Are by Martina McBride

First Dance : I Finally Found Someone by Barbara Streissand and Brian Adams

Now I gotta figure out the prelude music, the music as me and shane is walking down the aisle, and i think thats it oh a father daughter song, am I leaving something out? If I am PLEASE PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know lol You all know I'm not knowledgeable at this wedding stuff lmao.

So Far in my Wedding

2009-07-23T23:11:00.008-04:00

Well I think I have gotten pretty far into the planning, I got my dress, my flower girl dress, and the bridesmaids dress, now we gotta do the tuxes. We figured out where we are gonna have it at just gotta pay the deposit woohoo lol. I got me a photographer, my maid of honor is doing the flowers, and her family is doing the food. I got 3 songs picked out, the bridesmaids are walking down to Bellas Lullabye number 12 off of the twilight cd. My friend is singing There you are by Martina Mcbride at the sand ceremony, and I finally found someone by Barbara Streissand is going to be the first dance song. Now I'm lost on the others lmao, So if anyone has any suggestions on songs please leave me a comment. I still need, the prelude, song for the moms and grandmas to walk into, my song i'm gonna walk down to and the recessional song and a father daughter dance, any other special songs i gotta pick out for the reception?

Here are the sites for the dresses my friend took some pics of me in my dress still waiting on her to send them to me and then i will post them

My Dress - Make sure you look at the alternate view

Bridesmaids - Its a darker blue on the outside lighter blue on inside

Flower girl - Its the one on the right

Oh and I still gotta pick out a cake, I think I'm gonna do the small cute little cake and a bigger sheet cake.

I'm gonna have blue and white flowers with mostly blue to offset the dress, and the bridesmaids are gonna have mostly white flowers to offset their dresses, the groom is gonna wear like an ivory or champagne tie to match me and the groomsmen are wearing light blue ties to match the bridesmaids.

Can you picture it all I can wooohooo I'm sooooooo excited I cant wait!!!

If you have any ideas you would like to share with me Please leave me a comment!!!! or just leave me a comment letting me know what you think .

I think thats got it covered, for the most part. If I'm leaving something out or I havent thought of something please let me know you all know I know nothing about weddings I wouldnt have gotten this far if it werent for my maid of honor lol
