Just a friendly reminder
I love everything bridal. I love brides. Well, most brides. The brides I’m not so fond of are the ones who get so caught up in “the.best.day.of.their.lives!” and they lose all concepts of reality and turn into, for lack of a better word, bridezillas and freak out over stupid things. There are very few things [...]

One year to go.
Our wedding is exactly one year from today. This is kind of scary, especially when I look at girls on my wedding club board on the Knot, who have their dresses, florists, started their DIY, etc. I try and make myself remember that most of them are having much grander affairs than me, and most [...]

I haven’t been around much this week, and that’s mainly because I’ve been spending time following politics and not as much time on weddings! That said, I present you with the next Budget Friendly Vendor Spotlight. Today we focus on the fabulous Beau-Coup. Beau Coup sells wedding ephemera of all types, although the main part [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I am not the most handy-dandy DIY bride out there. I am impatient. I have two left hands. I can only handle a small amount of DIY before I want to scream.

Before I got engaged, I fell in love with a lot of high end stationery. I figured “we’d make it work!” and made note of what I liked.

Economic Benefits of Partnership
So, the economy is going down the toilet a little bit more each day. No job is secure. People are panicking. I have been laid off before (by a large multi-national corporation), right before September 11th. That was a really terrible time in my life, but I was younger and still living with my parents, [...]

When I announced our engagement to friends and co-workers, I was expecting people to expect that we would have a lavish reception, and that I would get grief from people who didn’t like my vision for the wedding, which is not the way that weddings seem to be going of late: inviting everyone you’ve ever [...]

Excuse me if my thoughts are not exactly coherent today, as I am an old lady who really shouldn’t be out until nearly midnight on a school night, screaming and jumping around at a New Kids on the Block concert.
The general suckness of work of late reached a new level today. I basically hit [...]

Sometimes I go into my happy denial place. I look at wedding venues and think “Oh hey, we can afford that!” Then I get a swift wake-up call when I hear back from two vendors and hear that their room minimum for food and booze is more than what I was planning on spending for [...]
