We began our dance lessons with Tim and Grace Ewing, of Ewing Entertainment, which are scheduled for every Friday until the wedding. Our first lesson went well, we were sent home with instructions to practice, practice, practice! As well as to watch Beauty and The Beast and practice some more. We practiced when we had [...]
I SLEPT THROUGH MY FIRST FITTING! I forgot my daily planner at home, went to work, went home, napped, woke up with a start and ran to my planner, still on the coffee table…AHHH! My fitting was two hours ago! I called and rescheduled. I have so much going on, my mind drew a blank. [...]
New Year’s Day has come and gone. I already have reneged on my resolution for 2012, which was to run four times a week. I can only recall one resolution which I actually successfully kept. In 2007, I switched from regular Coke to Diet Coke. Man, I am so deep and compelling! Way to really [...]
I think that my favorite part of wedding planning has been the dress shopping. Actually, shopping is one of my favorite pastimes so the fact that I can incorporate it into wedding planning has been a bonus. Having finally asked our bridal party to…well…be a part of the party, it was time to look at bridesmaids dresses. [...]
Dear Readers, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Have you missed me? I’ve missed you! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written. I wanted to start the New Year off write…errr…right….by posting of course. I can’t believe how the time is flying by as we rather rapidly approach my May wedding…I only have five [...]
I feel like I’ve been on the phone, working texts and sending emails for the last two weeks! However, thanks to Deborah at Unique Invitations, our invitations are HERE! She is phenomenal in working with my neurosis. I even asked her if I was as neurotic as other brides, she said, “not neurotic, just some [...]
I neglected to fill you in on our wedding party. Dirk and I will have ten in our bridal party, which means five bridesmaids and five groomsmen for the mathematically-challenged. It seems that we are set on making this wedding be the most logistically frustrating as possible. I have chosen bridesmaids in four different time [...]
Being out of town for most of the wedding planning, I knew I wanted to incorporate the bridesmaids’ opinions into the dress decision. Each of the girls is so special to me; I wanted each to feel amazing at the wedding. I found a weekend when most of the local girls were free and made [...]
Happy Fridays, everyone! Thank God! It is clear to me now that there is right way to do wedding dress shopping and a wrong way to do wedding dress shopping. Unfortunately for me and everyone who has been wedding dress shopping with me, this fact only became clear to me AFTER I went wedding dress shopping. [...]
The drive over to Glen Foerd Mansion took approximately 5 minutes. It went so fast. As I attempted to make my way out of the car gracefully, suddenly there was my photographer! It was so wonderful to see all my vendors (flowers, photog, videog) already at the venue. We walked up the stairs to the mansion [...]
