When I saw this post on A Practical Wedding today, I felt like someone knocked the air out of me. Not only could I completely relate, but I wished someone would have discussed such a question on this topic while I was planning. I’m always at odds on how much is too much to be shared on the internet, but I would like to share…

After we spent a full day relaxing by our pool and along the beach by our hotel, we were ready for a little more adventure in the next day of our trip. We browsed through a few of the activities the hotel suggested and settled on a “Sunset Cruise” that departed from the marina in Cabo San Lucas later that evening. To ensure that we…

Since I’m still sorting through and organizing our wedding pics (!!!), I decided to start recapping our honeymoon in the meantime.

We had originally considered postponing our honeymoon to sometime in 2010, but I am so glad we decided to go soon after the wedding (we left the following week). We were in dire need of some rest and relaxation and it was nice to take…

I guess I should back up a second here. Before I start talking about our cake topper, I should really discuss our cake first. I wanted something simple, tiered, no fondant…. that was pretty much the extent of my criteria. I have seen our baker’s handy work at the wedding of a good friend that I attended:

When I first saw our venue, I knew I wanted to include a cute basket full of goodies in the women’s restroom. Women are pretty easy to figure out as far as needs go:

I ended up finding some cute baskets on sale (for half off!) at Jo-Ann’s.

It took nearly 7 years to get here, but we’re here. We’ve gone from this:

After I got married, I assumed I would give up my obsession with wedding blogs. Even in the weeks leading up to our wedding I refused to look at wedding inspiration sites because 1) I had no time or, more importantly, 2) I was fearful I would end up seeing some detail or project that I would fall in love with and need to incorporate into our event…

Like others that have gone before me, I was sooooo ready for a change after the wedding. So ready that I made a hair appointment for the following Friday. Here’s the before (taken about a month ago at my final shower with my sister---can you see the resemblance?):

In Mr. Beagle’s family, they have a tradition of gathering as a family and eating Menudo, which is a spicy soup usually served for breakfast, on the morning after the wedding. Although I’ve tried this soup, I’m not a big fan of it (it’s one of those things that you either love or hate), but Mr. Beagle loves it.

Yay, I’m married! (Okay, now that I’ve got that out of my system…)

On Saturday, after my hair was set and my makeup was being prepped, I voiced my concern about mascara to my stylist. The problem is that I already have long, thick lashes and, therefore, I don’t wear mascara often. Because of this, It feels weird when I have it on and I…

… until I’m a Mrs.!

To Mr. Beagle, today I will be marrying my best friend. Through all our ups and downs I know now, more than ever, that this is the best choice for me and I can’t hardly wait. I had a wonderful time with you at our rehearsal last night, but I know that the real deal will be even better. Thanks for…

I know we are all too familiar with the cheesy "silence your phone" commercials during movie previews. Practically everyone owns a cell phone today, and while most people are used to silencing it during meetings, church, etc., I think it is important to remind people that a wedding is also the occasion to "unplug".

This past weekend, my FILs attended a wedding at a hotel here in Austin. They had a wonderful time, but we were appalled, as were they, when they proceeded to retell us the story of the card box.

Apparently the card basket was located outside of the reception area, in the foyer. There was a security guard on duty and the couple had also hired a…

This is one item I thought we didn’t need. That was before wedding planning. After we picked out our cake, the baker offered to rent us a cake stand similar to this:

Our invitations were semi-DIY. I ordered the actual invite and RSVP card from the White Aisle. Rebecca was really sweet and easy to work with—our invitations arrived in perfect order and on time! I decided to DIY the map and assemble them myself to save some money… although looking back I think what I saved in money was eaten up in the time I spent…
