That Wedding: Seattle Skyline Finale

February 20th, 2009 @ 2:46 pm by Mrs. Avocado

I don’t write stories very often, but whenever I do I have a hard time coming up with an ending. My endings always end up sounding trite, or abrupt. I often put the story off to the side and end up forgetting about it because I can’t find a way to write in the perfect ending. Telling the story of our wedding day is the…

That Wedding: Grand Exit

February 18th, 2009 @ 6:43 pm by Mrs. Avocado

I was one of those brides who had the unfortunate experience of switching event coordinators at the venue. Donna did an incredible job and the transition was very smooth, except for the agreements previously made about what Hotel 1000 would allow our guests to throw at us at the end of the night. I was frustrated, to put it mildly, when I was told that…

That Wedding: Bridesmaid Cake Pull

February 12th, 2009 @ 8:33 am by Mrs. Avocado

Throughout our planning process I kept hearing of this thing called a cake pull. From what I understood, it was a Southern wedding tradition, and it happened at the bridal shower. Charms were buried inside of a cake and pulled out by a ribbon, with each charm corresponding to a fortune. I loved this idea, but I wasn’t having a bridal shower where all my…

That Wedding: Toasting

February 10th, 2009 @ 6:40 pm by Mrs. Avocado

When I brought up the idea of doing toasts that included flutes of sparkling cider I expected my dad to say, “No way.” He can be a little bit on the conservative side at times (not like I’m not conservative myself), and although we drink sparkling cider ourselves at holidays, I thought he might say no because of how it would look in the photos.…

So Hard to Wait for Such Pretty Pictures

As soon as I saw this post on the blog of Ksenija Savic (who might just have a harder name to say than I do!), I commented and asked her if I could re-post it here. I loved Anne Ruthmann’s post on Weddingbee PRO that talked about this very subject (and in fact, Ksenija’s post was inspired by Anne’s post). Ksenija took things a step…

January 29th, 2009 @ 4:13 pm by Mrs. Avocado

I caught my first glimpse of the Great Room as we walked in for our first dance. When we sat down after our dance I took a few seconds to soak everything in. Tiffany (our DOC), my wonderful Aunt Janelle, my mom (because I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist helping), and Donna (the hotel coordinator) set things up even better than I could…

That Wedding: Photobooth

January 23rd, 2009 @ 3:51 pm by Mrs. Avocado

Usually when things become popular I tend to run in the opposite direction. I either want to be way ahead (doesn’t everyone?) or so far behind that what I’m doing is considered “vintage”, not trendy.

The photobooth became the exception to that rule. With a photographer willing to supply the manpower, and Mamacado in possession of the equipment, I just couldn’t pass it up. It was…

We exited through the sliding glass doors right into the library area thinking we were going to have to stand around and greet all of our guests receiving line-style, as has been the case for every single LDS wedding I have ever attended. We were lucky and that didn’t happen! Over the course of the weekend we gave our guests several opportunities to spend time…
