Wedding Blog

I wrote a blog about the best wedding movies recently, but I have to confess that I’m actually a big fat sappy sucker for romantic comedies and tear jerking love stories. I make Mr. Bee watch so many with me he recently said he was gonna go watch an action flick without me because he hadn’t seen one in so long.

But I’ll let you…

I’ve been thinking of renting a photobooth for the wedding. Most companies rent the “model 12″ digital photobooth that provides 6 photos ( 2 strips of 3) in around 10 seconds, although the old-fashioned photobooths are also available.

The companies also provide a scrapbooking counsultant to help guests create a one of a kind guestbook for you (you don’t want the guests taking all of…

Everyone knows that Vera Wang designs some of the most sought after wedding gowns. But did you know she also has a fragrance? A line of china/crystal/silverware? Jewelry? Invitations? Lingerie? Even a $5,500/ night suite at the Halekulani Hotel in Hawaii!

Vera Wang is certainly the queen of weddings.

I know some venues don’t allow open flames cause GOD FORBID their precious building go up in flames! Ok, that would be really bad for the vendor but c’mon! There are like 100 some people in the building. That’s like 200 eyeballs unless some of the guests are blind then you’d have less than that but c’mon! Nothing is going to happen (knock on wood).

So…

The boyfriend is gone again to yet another bachelor party, only this time it isn’t his. I came home, went grocery shopping, cooked spaghetti, baked cheese cauliflower, and also added bell peppers, onions, and hot italian sausage to the sauce and I NEVER add shit to the sauce. I fed 5 of them and sent them on their way to check out…

When I saw this bridesmaids dress layout in InStyle Weddings I went totally ga-ga!! I LOVE the idea of different dresses for different bridesmaids, but did you know they could be this gorgeous?!

I absolutely adore Thread’s bridesmaids dresses! You can get these for $375 each.

Remember my post about old friends a few weeks ago? I wasn’t sure whether I should invite some old friends with whom I had lost touch.

Well, I emailed some and got back in touch with them (no mention of our wedding). And when I read their responses, it was so easy to remember why we became good friends in the first place. These are people…

For Valentine’s Day this year Cameron Kelly served his girlfriend Angie Kreimer breakfast in bed and gave her a book he made on the self publishing site Lulu.com.

The book listed 50 reasons why she should marry him (I clean the bathroom every week, You don’t even have to change your initials!) and 51 reasons why he should marry her (I’m more in love with you now than…

OMG you must check out this “Contract of Wifely Expectations” Travis Frey had drawn up for his wife. They include guidelines for everything from how often she has to shave to the minimum height requirement of her heels to required sex acts.
