Using a Macys gift card, Chris and I bought ourselves some new luggage. We spent the 2 days before the day before our South Jersey wedding packing. Actually, it was more like frantically running around figuring out what to pack and what to buy that we still needed to pack. The day before the day [...]
SURPRISE!!! Bachelor/bachelorette party! Ok, so my sisters spilled the beans accidentally about this party. They tried to get my the day off by calling my manager, but couldn’t. So they told me that I needed to call around to get the shift covered so that I could be off from work that day, and to [...]
So, a couple of weekends ago, my Maid of Honor, Lynda and I went to South Jersey Florist, near Atlantic City, NJ from Philly. ROAD TRIP! It was a fun road trip and we got lost only a little bit. We should have planned better, packing and bringing our own lunch, snacks and drinks. When we [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Ok: I’ve been SO busy with things, it’s ridiculous. Since my last post, we have 46 “yes”‘s confirmed, out of 90 people invited! I’ve had my first fitting and changed my mind about 6 times as far as what hem I want. It’s a freaking hem for crying out loud! (hi-lo, regular, I want [...]
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. [...]
Schoenholtz (meaning beautiful wood) + Hartman (meaning strong man) = Schoenhart (meaning beautiful strength) Chris and I both came to the conclusion that since we are combining lives and futures, and thus creating a new family unit, separate from our former families, that we should have our own, unique surname. After months, and months, and [...]
Because I am the first friend in my circle of friends to be getting married, no one quite sure knows how to be a bridesmaid/maid of honor. I’ve emailed dozens of “So You’re a Bridesmaid” type of articles to them, and they still seem unsure of their roles. So this what I need from my [...]
