Mr. Lemon didn’t want anyone slipping on the tiles of the chapel, so we are now the proud owners of a dark blue aisle runner!
It pays to sit and wait on decisions, since we got to measure the aisle (which is almost exactly 50 feet), and I patiently waited for a cheaper auction on eBay to arrive. When it did… I set up an auction snipe* and got it for only $20.50 + $10 shipping. Not too shabby! Now I just have to set aside an afternoon for painting!
[* Auction sniping is the process of watching a timed online auction (such as on eBay or Yahoo!), and placing a winning bid at the last possible moment (often seconds before the end of the auction), giving the other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. Some bidders do this manually, and others use software designed for the purpose. A bid sniper is a person or software agent who performs auction sniping. There are also online sniping services, where the software agent is run from a website rather than the sniper's own computer. This decreases the failure rate of the snipe, because the website is expected to have more reliable servers that might be quicker to react.]

haha i didn’t know there was a word or service for such a thing. i’m a total ebay sniper and win almost 100% of the time! 
Too funny!
What are you painting on it?
I love aisle runners, it makes me think of red carpet premieres. We thought about using one for my sisters wedding (where I am MOH), but the church said no. The also said no to flower petals, rice, bird seed, etc. Oh well!
ARGHH! you are one of those people that drive me crazy by out bidding me at the last second. I now know your secret young one.
Any hoo…I love the blue aisle runner.
I used to go to that chapel in school. I would sit and wonder about getting married in that church. I wasn’t Catholic, but I didn’t know that was an issue at the time.
Are you going to use the room nearby for the reception?
That is just going to be gorgeous. Really, really stunning.

About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
