This kind of makes me feel like I’m on that “Diary” show that was on MTV. Did anyone else watch that? C’mon, you can admit it. I’m not judging! Lindsay Lohan would be like, “You think you know…but you have no idea!” and I’d be awake at 2 AM screaming at the television, “Oh mah GAH! What do I have no idea about!? Tell me more,…

You may recall from back in the day that “dancing” is a language I don’t speak. I know that a lot of people say that they can’t dance and then they bust out these amazing dance moves at their weddings and are obviously just being modest about the whole thing. That is not me, folks. I. Can’t. Dance.

A lot of times I get asked the same question from my fellow twenty-something peers. “Why bother getting married when it’s so expensive and nothing really changes?” My answer is simple. When else am I going to have an opportunity to gather together with everyone we love and celebrate life? These are the people who helped shape our lives (well, most of them anyway). I…

During the weeks leading up to our wedding, I gave myself a ton of DIY projects that I knew in my wedding-obsessed heart were absolutely unnecessary, but I insisted on doing them anyway.

Did anyone really notice the VIP seating labels I had made for our immediate family? Probably not. Did the French guests notice I made cake signs especially for them or did they just grab the first flavor…

Although we’ve only been married for a little over nine months, I’ve noticed that being a wife also means being thrown into a culture obsessed with babies. There’s a lot of pressure to pull off parenthood while trying to juggle married life and a career. Not to mention trying to be able to afford a house somewhere in the mix (since that’s the next “step”,…

Guests were enjoying drinks and hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail hour, while the rest of us were taking formal shots outside in the Upper Garden. I was grinning from ear to ear while standing next to my husband (!!!!), so saying “cheese” wasn’t going to be a problem for me. While posed shots really aren’t our style, we wanted to have standard portraits that our…

You’d think I could have made it through the ring exchange without causing a scene, but that would’ve been too easy! The officiant asked our maid of honor and best man to hand her the rings so we could get the show on the road. For some reason, I had my maid of honor hand me the ring and then realized she was supposed to…

It was time to read our vows. This was the moment I was dreading more than anything, apart from our first dance, which I was sure would cause me to have nervous poops. My brother had just finished reading “I Like You” when our adorable officiant turned to us and said, “I like you too.” What was my reaction? I responded by doing my best…

For our ceremony reading, Mr. Candy Corn and I agreed on a popular children’s book, “I Like You” by Sandol Stoddard Warburg. The obvious choice was to ask my brother to read, since we are so close and I wanted him to be involved in the ceremony in some way. His theater background certainly helped with capturing our guests’ attention. I got the giggles part…

I know I’m not the only one who was shaken up by yesterday’s news that Michael Jackson had suddenly passed away. I remember sneaking into my older brother’s closet when I was little and discovering his instructional booklet on how to moonwalk, which I thought was just about the coolest thing ever (that was before I discovered layering neon socks). Despite my love for M.J., I’ve…

I was finally holding hands with my husband-to-be, after having just dealt with two very long minutes of wedding ring drama. Our lovely officiant, Natalie Kita of SoulMates, addressed the room with a confident, booming voice. I will be including the transcript of what was said in italics. Keep in mind she didn’t actually say, “Mr. and Ms. Candy Corn,” since that would’ve majorly confused…

It’s been nearly two months since my last recap, which ended with me unveiling that I had realized I made a terrible mistake just before I was about to walk down the aisle. How’s that for suspense? (That’s how I roll.)

It was around 5:15 PM when the museum coordinators decided most of our guests had probably arrived. I stood in the back of the Chinese…

A few hours before the wedding ceremony, I was spazzing out to my bridesmaids and Mr. Candy Corn’s mom. I couldn’t stop asking her for hugs because I was so nervous, I thought I was going to poo. Yes folks, when I get really nervous before a job interview or an event where I am in the spotlight (*cough* bridal shower *cough*), the stomach cramps…
