Miss Archer's Picture
Miss Archer, Los Angeles/New Orleans Age and Occupation: 26, Marketing and Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Actor-Writer, Fitness Instructor Engagement Date: May 15, 2011 Wedding Date: October 2012 Venue: the Columns Hotel About Me: I’ve been in love with Mr. Archer for my entire adult life. After over seven years, two of them long distance, we're thrilled to (finally!) be planning a sweet Southern jazzy Jewish destination wedding. Working in marketing for a clothing company and running a niche consulting company with Mr. A, life is crazy, in the best possible way! I adore Saints football, dressing up, dance television, bright colors, beautiful things, and alliteration. When I’m not working, sleeping, or smooching my handsome fiancé, I’m making lists, cooking, or eating or drinking something yummy, bargain-shopping, and still oogling my heirloom engagement ring....ooh, sparkly!

An Engage-iversary*

May 16th, 2012 @ 1:50 pm by Miss Archer

One year ago yesterday, this happened. Mr. Archer got down on one knee in the Hotel Montelone’s Carousel Bar and said the four words I’d been dreaming of hearing, “Will you marry me?”

Thinking back, I still feel swoony—it is such a treasured moment, I’m at a loss for words to describe the emotions. Beyond that, though, it positively blows my mind that a full year has gone by. I distinctly remember thinking, once we had set our date, that these 17 months would go by slower than molasses on a January day. Much to my amazement, they have flown! It’s incredible to think that in less than five short months, I’ll be Mrs. Archer!!

While I wish I could say that we did something sweet and romantic last night to celebrate, it was quite the opposite. He watched movies and ate Cuban food with Groomsmen T, while I went to an outdoor screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s at the New Orleans Museum of Art with Bridesmaid M and some other girlfriends. We’re having a temporary throwback to our long-distance days…but for good reason.

We met in Japan and have been in a LDR for most of our relationship. I love organizing so much that it could be my middle name (Post-Its, anyone?).

After a legal ceremony in Germany, we're planning a down-to-earth (semi-destination) wedding with our friends and family in the US.

Picking a Time to Get Married

May 16th, 2012 @ 1:22 pm by Miss Bracelet

Any bridal book or magazine will tell you that after you get engaged, you have to set a date. They often recommend considering such things as time of the year, holidays, avoiding the popular summer months, etc.

Picking a Time to Get Married :  wedding germany rapid city Picture018 Picture018

{personal graph; data from this book}

We have two ceremonies to plan, so we went through the decision process about the when and where twice. And in order to fill you in on the decision process, we need to start backward—with the American wedding, although the German wedding comes first in our timeline.

Spanish I Spy Cards

May 16th, 2012 @ 12:51 pm by Miss Boa Constrictor

Way back in 2010 when I discovered all the greatness that is Weddingbee, one of the first blog posts I had the opportunity to read was Mrs. Meerkat’s shortest post ever, which showed off her incredible I SPY cards. I knew in that moment I just had to have them at my wedding (a whole year and half before being engaged). I had never seen them before at any event and thought it would be a great way to get our guests to mingle and have a little bit of fun (and take great pictures I can steal off Facebook).

Right off the bat, I was confronted with a bit of a situation—all of the “I Spy” inspiration I found was in English, a language understood by less than 50% of my guests. I had to come up with a cute line or two to explain what an “I Spy” card was (there was no pretty way to translate the I SPY poem, so I came up with a variation) and translate a dozen or so “photo ops” to Spanish.

Obviously the design part of these I SPY cards was another job for my super duper paper-product slave/Lil Boa/MOH. I sent her the translations along with the following inspiration pictures.

I’m planning a polka-dotted summertime wedding to my physics geek college sweetheart, and when I’m not making stupid puns I’m freaking out about my wedding timeline.

Showered with Dish Towels

May 16th, 2012 @ 12:21 pm by Miss Unicycle

A few weeks ago my aunt and grandma threw me a beautiful shower (and I mean that figuratively and literally). I was unable to blog about it then because, as I mentioned before, I was too emo. That, and I didn’t have pics until now! I also had another shower hosted by Mr. Unicycle’s family, but that may never get the blog justice it deserves since the pictures have gone AWOL. It’s a wedding mystery! So for right now at least, let’s talk about my second shower first.

Here I am with the hosts, my grandma on the left and my aunt on the right. And there’s my poufy shower dress in the middle.

The shower took place at the Schaumburg Golf Club, AKA Chandler’s, which was one of the contenders for the wedding venue, too.

Sweet Cakes

May 16th, 2012 @ 11:50 am by Miss Beanstalk

I’ve never been a fan of cake. I’ll eat it when offered (I do have a huge sweet tooth, after all), but it’s not my favorite sugary treat. I much prefer freshly baked cookies, ice cream drenched in hot fudge…oh, and cupcakes! There’s something so cute and perfect about cupcakes that makes me beyond giddy.

Doesn’t this make you want a cupcake? / Image via Food Network

Mr. Beanstalk and I decided to forgo having a traditional wedding cake and have decided to serve our guests cupcakes! We both adore the little treats (Cupcake Wars is one of our favorite shows). Cupcakes are also my favorite dessert to bake, and usually every holiday or birthday, that’s what I make! We will have a small cake for us to cut (I’m a sucker for old traditions) and then cupcakes for us and our guests to eat. I envision the cake lying on the top of a tiered structure surrounded by a sea of sweet cupcakes!

Today I came home to a very exciting delivery from the mailman:

The Eagle's Bridal Shower Invitations :  wedding bridal shower calgary invitations stationery 7207348 7207348

Our bridal-shower invitation!

It was very cute. We each got a separate invitation addressed to us individually. I’m a little bit crazy on saving wedding stuff for a scrapbook project I have planned, so having two copies between us is great!

The invitation came in a very classy, light pastel green Crane & Co. envelope:

Gifting the Men

May 16th, 2012 @ 10:23 am by Miss Hawk

I’ve already shared all the fun gifts that I’m giving my lovely ladies, but I don’t think I’ve even touched on the groomsmen gifts! (I should be a good fiancee and say that it was because I simply forgot or was too focused on my ladies, but let’s be honest. ;-) Mr. Hawk just finally decided on part of the gifts last week. Cat’s out of the bag. Sorry, Mr. H.)

The no-brainer portion of the gift was the groomsmen accessories. Since we’re already asking the men to purchase suits, we wanted to gift them the rest of their attire. They will be sporting adorable bow ties that I featured previously and some preppy argyle socks.
