Ms. Sloth's Picture
Ms. Sloth, Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 35, Account Manager and Fashion Blogger Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Design Admin Engagement Date: December 25, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Bartram's Garden About Me: I'm an internet junkie and music snob with a good eye for a bargain. I couldn't live without thrift store shopping, cheeseburgers, sushi, Coke Zero, websites devoted to silly photos of baby animals, Photoshop, and Mr. Sloth. Speaking of which, he and I are a pair of goofball homebody nerds who love our beagle (the most ridiculously adorable dog EVER) to an embarrassing degree. We're planning a low-key and intimate yet festive and quirky outdoor wedding with DIY details and deeply personal touches, and it's all taking place in the city where we fell in love and call home: Philadelphia.

So lovely! I’ve enjoyed following your wedding process, Sloth, you’re just so fun! I also want to say I recently put two and two together about you and a certain fashion blog that I LOVE (Seriously, I check it every day).

That is the prettiest brooch bouquet I’ve seen. Actually, I’m not a fan and this is the prettiest one and I actually LIKE it!! Did you make that yourself! I would totally rock that.

Thanks sooooo much, everyone! Details posts are always my favorite of the recaps and I’m so excited to finally do mine.

@ookbob: Aw, I’m so flattered! xo

@MissTBee: Thanks so much - yes, I did make it myself.
