… and I could only grab three things (considering, of course, Mr. Cloud was getting himself out*) I would take…

… my precious pup, Bella…

… my childhood Teddy (can I really call it a childhood bear if I still sleep with her??)

Remember how I said that after we let go of our first photographer we were lucky enough to find another amazing photog with our wedding date available? Well, that is not exactly the entire truth. The truth is that the amazingly talented photographer only had our date open because prior to us hiring her, she was going to be our guest! Jessica Oriole Salay of…

As I wait for my final discs with our wedding pictures on them, I figure it’s time to come clean and explain to the hive a pretty big mistake that I made early on which almost risked the beautiful images I am waiting for!

When we first got engaged I wanted to jump head-first into planning; I wanted to book vendors and start crafting as soon…

I have a lot of hair. That’s really all there is to it. It’s thick and large and in charge, causing me to constantly battle the poof with flat irons (love my Chi!) or a multitude of styling products. Because there is so much of it, when it gets long it can take in excess of an hour or two to blow-dry and style. I…

When this whole wedding planning shenanigans started, Mama Cloud and I decided that we were going to go it alone—just me and her on a big fat planning adventure. I like to think I’m pretty resourceful and persuasive when I want to be, and Mama Cloud is the most downright organized person I’ve ever encountered. I figured between the two of us we would have…

I’m BAAACK! And I have an extra little ring on my left ring finger! That can only mean one thing of course… WE GOT HITCHED!! It’s funny—after all the planning, all the projects, all the time that is spent leading up to the wedding, you still never really know what it is going to be like. I had no clue what it was going to…

Here we are, 21 months later and I’m finally able to say that today is my wedding day! I can’t believe its here, and even as I sit in a hotel room with my big beautiful white dress hanging next to me, it still hasn’t fully hit me.

To the hive—thank you for your amazing support and every single word of encouragement and love you have…

We take Weddingbee and being a bee very seriously over here in the Cloud house. So you can only guess what our fur baby Bella was dressed as for Halloween this year!!!

I have always been a big fan of paper: paper products, paper crafts, anything to do with paper! My neighbor growing up had a drawer in her basement that was filled with scraps of anything from construction paper to scrapbooking scraps and anytime I complained of being bored, Mama Cloud would send me over looking for a project.

It’s no surprise when we got engaged that…

When I had my first stress moment about the wedding (and when I say stress moment, of course I really mean complete and utter major freak out with tears and screaming) my fabulous family stepped up as always. They are pretty awesome like that; Mama Cloud does whatever she can, Daddy Cloud knows how to calm me down, and even Brother Cloud has words of…

We had a few moments of free time the other day, which is rare for us working complete opposite work schedules most days, so we decided to take a little trip down to the courthouse and take care of one little to-do we had almost forgotten about… our marriage license!

I always assumed I would change my name when I got married. It was a pretty simple idea—in theory, of course. But the thing is I fell in love with Mr. Cloud, who instead of having a simple and easy to pronounce last name like my maiden name, has a difficult last name that is not only very often mispronounced and misspelled, but if you…

I need to start by apologizing for my disappearance. After getting over the flu, Mama Cloud flew in for a long weekend of appointments, running around, and turning my apartment into a hot mess of wedding craftiness. In the end we made a MAJOR dent into the never ending to-do list. I have lots and lots to share (and of course, never enough time to…

Yes, I realize this is starting to get a little bit ridiculous. I went over and over and over what I wanted it to look like, and finally settled on something I love. That should be it, right? Not so much. I blame the fabulous Mrs. Cupcake for this one.

Here I was all settled with my cake decisions, and then I got the flu. Not…

My parents lived in the same house for most of my life, up until a few years ago when they moved back to Massachusetts. When you live somewhere for that long, there is a good chance that your neighbors become more like family. We were no exception, and I grew up with a pseudo big sister who is about six years older then me. I’m…
