Mrs. Buttons's Picture
Mrs. Buttons, Clearwater, FL Age and Occupation: 24, "Working on it" Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Financial Services Engagement Date: June 13, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Carlouel Yacht Club About Me: I'm a self proclaimed perfectionist and a professional nomad (seriously, I've lived in TX, WI, MI, FL, NC, and now VA!). I love wine, cooking, curling up with a good book (nerd alert!), spoiling the furbaby, and of course, the wonderful Mr. Buttons! We are planning a lighthearted and whimsical wedding (with a good deal of DIY projects) in Clearwater, Florida, but from a distance of 800 miles away! We are looking forward to sharing our day with our family and friends, and most importantly, starting our lives together as husband and wife!
About Mrs. Buttons

Hive… I’ve had a revelation! I know that we’re only about two months out until our wedding, but we’ve decided to make some huge changes! I was shopping the other day, and I came across the most AMAZING venue. I couldn’t believe our good luck; we were able to get our deposit back from Carlouel and book this venue… it is my fairytale DREAM come true! Seriously… take a look!!!

As soon as we saw it, Mr. Buttons knew we couldn’t look back… check out that happy smile!

I told you it was a fairy tale come true…there is even a castle (or two, or three) both outside and inside! Maybe Mr. Buttons will dress up like Prince Charming and sweep me off my feet?

And do you know what the BEST part is???

I can go shopping right before the wedding… and maybe get some brand names at closeout prices. And, if our guests are hungry at the end of the night, we can cross the parking lot to get some fast food! Munchies!

Naaaaaaaaaaaaah… just kidding! I hope you didn’t think I was serious…

But all joking aside, this is indeed a real wedding venue here in town. I’d heard about it a bunch of times/seen advertisements, but never knew where it was… until I was traipsing all over Tampa to find vases for my centerpieces. It was there, in the Marshall’s parking lot, that I made my discovery; who would have thought? It is actually an all-inclusive venue; brides don’t have to plan a single part of the day. They also hold Sweet 16 birthday parties and quinces there in addition to weddings. Personally, it isn’t my cup of tea, but I actually know of someone who did get married there - and I’m sure it was just as fabulous to her as my venue will be to me at the end of May!

So hive, that was my April Fool’s Day… version 2.0… (come on; you know you didn’t get enough of it yesterday…)

Do tell - did you fool anyone yesterday? Were you fooled? What happened - spill it!

Hahaha! I was like is she serious?! That was a good one. My FI played a joke on me saying my puppy got to the veil I was making. Mind you I am in Afghanistan so my heart just sunk knowing I will have to start all over when I get back home this summer.

Good one miss Buttons!!

My friend pulled a prank that totally backfired. She found a photo of a positive pregnancy test on google and sent it to her boyfriend. He came over to talk about it and before she could say ‘April fool!’ he got down in one knee and proposed with his mothers ring that he borrowed from her that morning!!! So obviously he was extremely pi**ed off when he found out and they are now in survival/recovery mode. So don’t do that girls it’s not funny!!!

I wrote up a quick email to my bridesmaids and posted it on the blog - http://www.wedding-for-two.com/2010/04/sometimes-people-want-to-know-what-to.html - this post got more comments than any other post we’ve ever done, including giveaways.

Ok, it’s Sat 04/03 [and very late] .. and I was reading this post, and was 1) shocked you could get a venue deposit back 2) thinking, do not judge, do not judge, but slightly, ta-cky? 3) Huh? What do you mean by that Big Lots photo? Big Lots rent for weddings? 4) Huh? Wha? …. Then without finishing the post, I slowly RE-READ the post from the top, this time - through to the end and JUST got it. Did ya’ think you could fool someone so completely [confusingly!] a whole two DAYS after April 1st?! =]
