Wedding week fun continues. Wednesday Divide and conquer! Mom and I picked up our wedding bands and my clean, sparkly engagement ring. Then we headed to the dress shop — an hour and a half before it opened … oops! Fortunately, the seamstress let us in, and we were able to leave with my dress. [...]
This is the first in what will likely be a long series of wedding-related posts. Away we go! I had hoped to do a whole lot of relaxing during the week before my wedding — I mean, a bride needs her beauty rest, right? But, in reality, there were errands to run, projects to finish, [...]
The rain didn’t stop us from having the most perfect day of our lives! There was spontaneous singing during the ceremony. There were bridesmaids with red umbrellas and groomsmen with mugs of microbrews. There were proud parents. There were family cookbooks for every guest. And there was an unlimited supply of love and laughter. Stay [...]
Rain or shine, I’m getting married on Friday. But, if possible, I’d appreciate any sunny thoughts you can send my way!

It sure hasn’t felt like a typical summer: no lazy Sundays on the hammock or lounge chairs and books on the beach or cocktails on the deck (okay, there have been a few cocktails on several decks). Instead I’ve spent a lot of time on my living room floor tying ribbons and stuffing envelopes and [...]
I can’t believe I’ll be a married woman in LESS than one month! (I missed documenting the official one month mark yesterday because I was busy wedding crafting.) Last weekend was a whirlwind of wedding activities: hair and makeup trials, dress fitting, and meetings with our coordinator, our caterer, and our photographer. In two weeks, [...]
