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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So, where were we? Yes, joining hands…the ceremony was beautiful, or, I think so, anyways! We laughed, cried, prayed, and shared happy moments and real-life stories. Pastor Dave read messages we had written about why we loved and appreciated the other, we recited personal vows after the traditional vows, and put new rings on our fingers! I [...]
And yes, I am blogging on my honeymoon! J Jared thinks its funny but I wanted to remember as much as I can, plus we have 6 flights in two weeks… a lot of time to type. Day one of the wedding weekend: the Rehearsal. Shew, was I frazzled. I arrived in Philly [...]

Today is September 1st! 7 DAYS until the biggest weekend of our lives. The years, months, weeks, and now days of our engagement are whizzing by our heads! So many last minute tiny details to handle… at least I was warned and prepared! I think I am in a great spot with my to-do’s but it [...]
Those words have been spoken at traditional weddings for the longest time. But do they have to be? No, designing your wedding ceremony is something you can partake in or allow your officiant to orchestrate. I enjoy some of the more modern vows that churches use these days, so our Pastor is going to say [...]
Look to your religion, if you have/are practicing one. Religious institutions may offer suggesting for vows and readings, and that’s a good place to start. But if your wedding is not a “religious” one, or your have two religions to celebrate, or even if yours is religious in nature, there are many choices for you. [...]
I could not write my 4 month post yesterday due to a terrible stomach virus, but I am back! The countdown is seriously on now! Here is an update from my 5 month post: Shoes – My shoes came back dyed and looked amazing! I tried them on at my last regular dress fitting (before [...]
