Lauren: Baby Got (too much) Back
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 [...]
Lauren: Curveball
As you can tell from my previous blog posts, I have been rather stressed out about wedding planning thus far. I wasn’t making decisions fast enough for my liking, and I was easily distracted by everyday life and work. I can’t tell you how many times I said to myself “OK, tonight is the night. [...]
Lauren: 252 Days to Go, 3876 Decisions to Make
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 [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: I’ll drink to that!
I’m alive!! I apologize for the break in my blogging. I had my wisdom teeth taken out and then back-to-back international trips for work, so I admit that I wasn’t in blogging or planning mode. But I am well and back in the U.S., ready to catch up for lost time. Anyway… Have you ever [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: Date and Location
I have finally made some meaningful headway in my wedding planning. We finally have a date a location! On September 29, 2012, Dirk and I will become husband and wife at The Hill School. I can hear you all now: “uhhh…..where???” So here’s the story. I went to high school at The Hill School, which [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: Global Bridal Party
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 [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: Marrying Two Cultures
As I have mentioned, Dirk is from Germany and has been living in the Philadelphia area for about five years. We want to incorporate German traditions into our wedding so that both cultures are represented. Somehow, I need to make sure that this does not translate to me wearing a Bavarian beer wench Halloween costume [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: Sergeant MOH
I was chatting with my Maid of Honor Trisha about my stress over not finding a venue and not having a date set. Trisha is very patient and has been involved in several weddings before, so she was the perfect person to whine to. I explained that I was doubly stressed because Dirk was out [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: Location Frustration
I haven’t written in a few days. I’ve been busy freaking out. Dirk and I thought that we were settled on a venue even before we became engaged. We inquired, and it is only available during the summer months. I always envisioned myself as a fall or winter bride, but I was willing to plan [...]
Lauren’s Bridal Blog: OK, So Now What?
I suppose I should tell you our engagement story. Dirk suggested that we have a date night in the city. I came home from work and quickly got ready for our date, and thankfully I had a brand new dress to wear. I had a hunch that we were going to eat at Tallulah’s Garden, [...]
