Last night my bridesmaid that can’t fit in her dress told me about an idea that her co-workers are taking part of. It’s called a weight loss race, and she asked if I wanted to join in. Here’s her explanation:
You pick a number of pounds to lose (say, 20). We all weigh ourselves on [...]


My bridesmaids have had a case of too big, too little and too little when it comes to their dresses. I was hoping my last bridesmaids dress would be “just right!” but it wasn’t. And since it’s difficult to alter dresses down, we have a back-up plan. My original choice of bridesmaids dress only goes [...]


Depending on what type of reception you’re having, you’ll either want to end the night with a bang or on a sentimental note. The following songs are a mix of both.
Perfect Day-Lou Reed
Oh, it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you kind of sums it up perfectly, eh?
If I Had [...]


I have been busy with both work and wedding stuff this week! A brief run-down.
-We did our engagement shoot on Sunday and I’m really pleased overall. You can see some of our favorites at our photographer’s blog here. I’m so tickled that we have professional photos of us, even my future mother-in-law was expecting Olan [...]


Work has been incredibly stressful this week (and I have an interview at a job I think I have a decent shot at, so any positive vibes would help) so these playlist posts have been a good stress reliever.
Today’s post features songs that have the dope beats that will get your guests on the dance [...]


Here’s the third part of the wedding playlist series. This time I’m focusing on some of my very favorite love songs that would make a good first dance, or even a sweet slow dance at your reception.
Make You Feel My Love-Adele
This is a cover of one of my very favorite Billy Joel songs. I grew [...]


The Dress!

16Mar09

I think I’ve finally made up my mind about my wedding dress. I posted last week about 300 Dresses and since then I have not been able to stop looking at one dress. I’ve decided to go with the lovely Katherine!

The dress is a bit more than I wanted to spend, as I’m sure I’m [...]


A few weeks ago I posted some songs we were considering for our recessional/processional/first dance. Here are some of the songs we’re considering for cocktail hour. We’ll miss most of it as we’re getting photos taken, but I like the idea of these songs being played regardless. We’re looking for a few old classics and [...]


Last night The Shining was on, and since I’m reading the book right now, I gave it a (third or fourth) glance. I can’t help it, I love scary movies and this movie was one of the few to actually scare the holy bejesus out of me.
I went to bed when it was over, and [...]


Sunday will be our year anniversary. In all honesty, it should really be a week later as I really didn’t feel that true spark with him until our second date. Jeremy is very, very shy with new people and had been out of the dating scene for awhile, so it took him a bit to [...]
