That’s right. It’s here. The moment I’ve been waiting for since I first dressed up as a bride when I was four years old. My wedding dress has arrived. And I’ve survived the first fitting.
A slew of fears plagued me before the fitting. Will I like it? Will it fit? What if it’s not what I remembered? What if I trip and ruin it…
The wedding has reached the stage where it’s no longer a tiny dot, far into the future. Instead, it’s a very real, very near event that is only one (gulp) week away!
There’s plenty that goes through one’s head when facing the last week before the wedding. Sure, some of it involves breathing into a brown paper bag, but by-and-large, it’s full of a mix…
Last night I returned from Miami where my first of two bachelorette parties took place. The Fiance and I are certainly not cutting ourselves short when it comes to this time honored tradition: He went to Vegas two weeks ago with 10 of his closest friends, while I went to Miami with nine of mine. In June, he’s also having a cabin weekend getaway with…
It’s here. The final month. A mere 30 days separates me and my fiance from officially being Mr. and Mrs. And yes, there’s certainly a level of stress that comes along with that—but it also means it’s time to celebrate.
And celebrate we did, with the help of the two B’s: bachelorette/bachelor parties and bridal showers. Two extremely enjoyable and exciting events but in very…
After Jack and I got engaged in October, I spent the next couple months in a wedding planning frenzy. Before I knew it, we had set the date and booked everything from our ceremony and reception venues to our photographer, DJ, videographer, and florist. We had decided on wedding colors, chosen our bridesmaids…
We are at 96 days and counting, people. That’s right, last week, the wedding countdown went from a three digit number to a two digit number . . . and all I can say is holy crap! It’s time to get serious.
Packages are arriving at my house left and right . . . bridesmaids gifts, shoe tags, gifts for our parents, lanterns for the…
Before I get into this week’s post, I need to first and foremost thank everyone for their incredible support for my mother. Just a little update for you all—she had two lumpectomies in one week and was recovering well. But unfortunately, the doctors weren’t able to get it all and have scheduled her for a full mastectomy. I know she appreciates everyone’s love…
This weekend, we will begin to tackle our wedding registries. Crate and Barrel, Target, and Macy’s are on our list of stores to visit. I’m pretty excited—this is one of the tasks I’ve been looking forward to, even before we got engaged. What doesn’t sound fun about pointing and shooting a little gun at items you…
China, check. Serving dishes, check. Towels, check. Blender, check. Bedding, check. Luggage, check. Silver, check. Check, check, check.
My goodness, who knew there were so many decisions when putting together a registry?! Maybe it’s just me, but creating our registry has been an ongoing process, and it’s one in which I’m not entirely confident with my decisions. Ask me anything about how I want our…
It was during a recent marriage counseling session that our pastor said something that really stuck with me: Life doesn’t care that you’re planning a wedding. That statement never rang more true than it did about two weeks ago.
It was our weekly trip to Target to stock up on essentials and take a break from the never-ending tasks of planning a wedding when I decided…
