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 [...]
Here’s a well-known fact among my friends and family members: I am not particularly fond of having my photo taken. I think that it began back at Kernsville Elementary after a 5 year string of terrible school pictures that even my mother couldn’t bring herself to frame. I’m talking bad. High school wasn’t much better; [...]
In case you missed it a few weeks ago, a freelance reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer recounted how Jared and I met, began dating, became engaged, and the details of our very special wedding day. It was a three hour interview that turned into an amazing story of our lives. I am so thankful to [...]
Angela and Warren…Cescaphe Ballroom…Philadelphia, PA Photography by Helen Stevenson Photography Angela and Warren got engaged on May 8th, 2010. It was Angela’s 25th birthday and on this gorgeous but windy Saturday, Warren had plans to celebrate her birthday by taking her on a surprise hot air balloon ride during the sunset. What he couldn’t predict [...]
After the wedding, you wish and dream that you can throw away to-do lists. And while you did accomplish everything (or here’s hoping, anyways!) on the pre-wedding list, there is ALWAYS that other list in the back of your mind after you return from your honeymoon: the post-wedding-list. As the days go on, you finally [...]
“How does it feel?” “Does it feel any different to be married?” Those are the questions I have been asked every few weeks since we tied the knot!! Similar to the “are you nervous/excited?” question before our wedding, I am not sure how to answer. It feels… like so many things and is definatly hard put into [...]
I will never forget the feeling following the ceremony. Pure magic. After taking private kissy pictures in front of the water and scarfing down amazing stuffed mushrooms, we were ready for our family and bridal party pictures. It was nice seeing my brothers and grand-mom hug Jared and include him in our photo. Jared’s family [...]
YIKES! We received our professional pictures back from the photographer and there are 800 shots! Both our album and the parent album only hold 24 pages, but since I like about 200 – 250 pictures, I am already thinking of adding pages to ours! At $20 an extra page, this will quickly add up so I [...]
One of the things that I was most excited about doing this fall was working with our photographer, Chad Stokes (http://chadstokesphotography.com/), on our engagement photos. Even though Steve and I have been together for two and a half years, we have very few photos of us together; mainly because he makes a face or hides behind [...]
In the latest Partyspace newsletter, Eliza mentioned that I had written “what I could remember” about the ceremony in one of my latest posts. That got me thinking: is that wrong of me? Am I a “bad” bride? I think now that maybe I shouldn’t have used the word “remember.” My mind actually did not — and could [...]
