Dress Fitting: Part II

June 17th, 2009 @ 3:47 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I am finally back with the second half of my dress fitting story. Sorry it has taken so long! The wedding is less than two weeks away, and I’m swamped with errands. Anyway, when I last left you (Part I), I had my first dress fitting with a very questionable tailor. As many of you noted, I should have stormed out after the tailor’s first,…

Dress Fitting: Part I

June 8th, 2009 @ 2:57 pm by Mrs. Glitter

A few weeks ago, I had a dress fitting at a local tailor. I went alone and was really excited. I hadn’t tried my dress on in months, but I knew it needed a bustle. The rest, I figured, was in the tailor’s hands. I wish I had a sweet story to tell you, but to put it nicely, the appointment was a disaster. How?…

Music for All Ages

June 5th, 2009 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Glitter

Our wedding will welcome guests from ages 1 to 85 years old. You can’t please everyone, especially when it comes to music, but I wanted our song list to appeal to a wide range of peeps. It’s tough because we have several older guests coming who are notorious for not dancing. We want everyone to have fun and get up and dance to at least…

Walk On By…

May 29th, 2009 @ 2:39 pm by Mrs. Glitter

Lately, I haven’t been too vigilant with my fitness goals. I guess I assumed that magically, with the pressure of our pending wedding, I would somehow become a workout machine. That never really happened. Oh well, I’m not going to punish myself now.

I noticed that a large portion of my day is spent sitting in front of my computer. Day in and day out, I…

Bad RSVP Behavior

May 27th, 2009 @ 12:29 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I couldn’t be more excited and grateful that guests are responding to our invites and sending in their RSVPs in a timely manner. In the past, I admit to some bad RSVP behavior, such as sending it in right at the deadline, or after. I think once I even forgot to send one back all together, and had to email my response to the bride-to-be.…

You’re Invited

May 19th, 2009 @ 6:31 pm by Mrs. Glitter

One of the messes that resulted from the aftermath of our postponement was the invitations. Why was it a mess? Well, we had already ordered and received our invitations, and I cried when I found out they would no longer be of any use. (The actual invites couldn’t be used, but we found a way to salvage the envelopes…read on!)

From the get go, I knew…

Tales of a Postponement

May 19th, 2009 @ 12:51 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I am still a little self-conscious of the fact that Mr. G and I have been engaged for two years. Two years?! This long waiting period wasn’t intentional. We hoped to be married quickly. But around every corner, life seemed to get in the way.

Back in May 2007, I was newly engaged and thinking about a simple, small wedding. Enter: family, expectations, visions of a…

A Nontraditional Groomsman Gift

Mr. G really wanted to get them gifts of appreciation and love for taking part in our wedding, but he kept coming up short. Leave it up to my mom (of…

Registry Lessons

Many months ago, Mr. G and I were shopping and found ourselves at Macy’s. On a whim, we decided to start our registry. We were like kids in a candy store. Armed with our complimentary Swiss Army tote bag, we used the scanner to swipe anything we imagined might look “cute” in our condo. Eventually we grew tired and confused by all of the options,…

Grow Up

At times throughout our planning process, I have felt like I am on a little island alone emailing vendors, researching details, scheduling appointments, trying to adhere to our budget and timeline, worrying about everything. Ready.to.pull.out.my.hair. Understandably, I have gotten tired and frustrated.

A few times I have hit the wall and lost it. My fits (I’ll call them “bridal tirades”) haven’t been too severe, but let’s…

I Heart Our Wedding Cake

April 28th, 2009 @ 10:57 am by Mrs. Glitter

We finally made the trek to Hansen’s Bakery this weekend to pick out our wedding cake. Hansen’s Bakery holds a special place in my heart because (A) it’s a L.A. landmark (they’ve been in the business for seven generations!), and (B) my mom bought my first birthday cake at Hansen’s. Awwww.

I had two simple criteria going into it. The cake had to look old school and vintage-esque,…

The Bridal Shower That Never Was

We are nearly two months away from the wedding. As I’ve said many, many times… there’s a lot to do. I am hoping to keep myself so “busy” that I forget to remember that I won’t have a bridal shower.

Several months ago, my lovely maid of honor, N, asked me if I wanted a bridal shower, and even offered to fly to California and host…

Planning: A Joint Effort

April 21st, 2009 @ 6:24 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I want to attempt to lessen the stereotype that the groom/better half/significant other’s involvement in wedding planning is little more than silent consent to the bride’s demands and a general lack of helpfulness. Also why, as brides, do we sometimes fall victim to having such feeble expectations of our grooms? Just last week, an incident with Mr. G reminded me (again) not to sell him…

I’m not well-versed when it comes to buying bras. I usually wear the same Calvin Klein or Gap Body underwire bras I’ve been buying since college. Which leads me to my next wedding-related challenge. Allow me to be frank with you, hive. The “girls” will need some wedding day enhancement. They aren’t the biggest girls in the world, and I’d like for them to really…
