Mrs. Lemur, Greenville, South Carolina Age and Occupation: 22, Graduate Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Security Officer Engagement Date: October 9, 2012 Wedding Date: May 2013 Venue: Pleasant Ridge Camp & Retreat Center About Me: I may fancy myself a doctor after too many episodes of House—but in reality I'm finally almost done with my degree in business administration (less than three months left!). My fiance and I met at school in undergrad hundreds of miles away from either of our hometowns and have been happily running and hiking together ever since. We're undertaking a long distance relationship as I finish school and we plan our casual wedding for a day after graduation—needless to say, it will be the busiest and most exciting weekend of our lives so far!

Coral & Seafoam

January 21st, 2013 @ 12:04 pm by Mrs. Lemur

So far, the decision on “wedding colors” has been the easiest—but even then, that doesn’t mean everyone agrees! I was positive I wanted to include the color coral in the wedding colors. Sure, it’s trendy—or maybe it used to be trendy, and I’m just that far behind?—but it’s also at least a somewhat flattering color on me and the tones are good for a spring wedding.

Coral it was, then.

The slight problem came in deciding on a second color. Everyone says you’re “supposed” to have two wedding colors, right? I was fairly set on seafoam—I mean, look at these inspiration photos! How could you say no?

Lives Intertwined: The Food

January 21st, 2013 @ 9:07 am by Mrs. Boa Constrictor

I apologize for the recap hiatus—the Boas went back to Puerto Rico for the holidays and just got back last week. Our holidays were spent surrounded by family and friends that we haven’t seen in the last six months. It has been incredibly hard to get back into the Cincinnati groove.

The Boa recaps continue just after our first dance, when Mr. Boa and I picked up the mic to welcome all of our friends and family to our wedding and to thank them for sharing in such an important event in our lives. By then it was close to 10:30 am and everyone was probably starving. So, as planned, we announced that the breakfast buffet was open. Our breakfast buffet consisted of a fresh fruit platter, a cheese platter, a ham patter, a pastry platter, croissants, bagels, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes and french toast.
