I am so happy to say that I have officially made it through my first semester of teaching – finals are this week. Woo-hoo! Now I feel like I can return to wedding planning…and not a moment too soon as Steve and I are now at the two month mark. The end of June will [...]
Every wedding is unique. They reflect the style of couple getting married, their culture and their families’ beliefs. Of all the weddings that I’ve been to, no two were alike – not even remotely. And I’ve been to a lot of weddings…everything from your traditional Protestant church wedding to casual outdoor affairs to a Jewish/Catholic ceremony [...]
Invitations: a perfect example of the waste associated with weddings that I absolutely abhor. The worst part? There’s really no way around them. Emailing guests telling them where and when to show up just doesn’t scream “wedding!” Even in our completely wired world, an invitation to a wedding is expected to come in the mail [...]
I am on the hunt – the hunt for wedding shoes. And to be honest, I’m not having much luck. I love shoes. I love to go shopping for shoes. I love to drool over shoes while shopping. I love planning my outfits around my shoes. But for some reason, that perfect shoe eludes me. [...]
March 29 marked 2 weeks until our wedding! Last week, at the 3 week mark, March 22, we were scheduled to go to our dance lesson, file the marriage license application, go to the caterer to finalize the menu and choose our cake and run some additional errands. Ewing Entertainment had a family emergency but [...]

Planning a wedding can be pretty stressful. As a bride, you have to juggle a lot of details all at once…the ceremony, the reception, the groom, the bridal party. There are outside forces constantly keeping you on your toes – asking questions about colors, material, menu items, music selection, hair styles…and on and on. It [...]
When did I go from “fiancée” to “bride?” And am I a bride or a bride-to-be? I don’t know. I do know I’m stressed out. I need a vacation. Maybe we’ll elope? Forget the stress, the money and the drama? Just the two of us, on a much needed and well earned vay-cay? Without the [...]
I have one of those little apps on my iPhone that provides me with a countdown until the wedding. I look at it every once in a while, but never really became focused on it. However, I looked at it today, and it said that I have less than 6 and a half months to [...]
I have to say – I’m feeling pretty good about this whole wedding planning ‘thing.’ Steve and I are about (little past) the four month mark, which I find hard to believe. Where did the past seven months go? I feel pretty comfortable in saying that we could get married this weekend if we wanted. [...]
