I am Miss Sundae! I’ve been a loyal Weddingbee reader since my friend (and now bridesmaid) passed along the addiction while planning her own wedding, and I am excited and honored to be a part of the hive.

Mr. Sundae and I met in college and have been in each other’s lives ever since. There have been ups and downs, break-ups, long distances, and a lot of growing up but we made it to the other side. We’ve been sharing a condo in the city for the past two years with our dog Lola (if raising a dog is any indication one’s parenting skills, it’s possible we should reconsider children).

Mr. S popped the question on July 20th with candlelight and champagne on the balcony of our condo. He got down on one knee and said some of the most wonderful things I’ve ever heard, most of which I immediately forgot in all the excitement and commotion. The set-up:

(He’ll kill me for this, but I need to draw your attention to the “tablecloth.” At the last minute Mr. S decided that he should use one to cover our little mosaic table, and all he came up with was a pillowcase.)

And here is the second love of my life, the ring:

Despite our love for Chicago we’re getting married in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Mr. Sundae’s parents have a condo there and we’ve spent many happy summers together at the lake. We’re planning an outdoor ceremony and a tented reception at a local resort, but more on that later.

I love all the little details that go into making a wedding special but I can be a little over zealous in my attempts to make everything perfect. Here’s hoping my trials and tribulations will inspire you, or at the very least entertain. Thanks for having me!
