While I’m waiting, sometimes not so patiently, for our wedding photos to be processed by the lovely Erica Lyn, I cannot help think about what I will do with them. Our photography package does not include an album (although we obviously have the option of purchasing one), so I have a number of options to consider. We could do a Blurb/MyPublisher-style album; the quality is…

We’re BACK! The wedding day was perfect (a few snafus, but still perfect), and the honeymoon was amazing and relaxing. We got many fabulous gifts from our friends and family: some off our registry, some clever and thoughtful, and some not quite ’us’.
My favorite registry gifts :
1. Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowl (via Macy’s) - I actually got this as a shower…

I don’t have much to say, except that tomorrow I will be your wife and I couldn’t be more excited about it. This day has been a long time coming, but really, our time together has flown by so fast. I can’t believe we’ve been together for almost a decade; it seems like only yesterday you were leaving scribbled love notes under my…

The clock is ticking, but I wanted to squeeze in one more DIY post before the big day. There will be quite a few after we get back since I’ve been too busy to post about a lot of projects recently. I’m a blog slacker, I know.
Anyway, I find myself with pangs of jealousy each time someone posts a picture of a super cute ring…

I get it. I finally understand how wedding budgets spiral out of control. It’s the spending threshold. After you spend $180 on a pair of jeans (even if it was a special treat/just once kind-of-deal in your mind) $90 jeans just seem like a bargain. You’ve broken into another spending category and there is no turning back.
I mean what’s another $400 when you’ve already spent…

With a little prompting from the State of Massachusetts, we picked up our wedding rings last week. How did they prompt us, you wonder? They decided it would be a good idea to raise taxes by 25% on August 1st. We had already met with our jeweler and he worked his magic, making us beautiful rings, but we decided to leave them there as long…

I feel like I’m back in school again – I paid attention all semester and completed assignments on time, yet I still find myself cramming for the final… I mean, the wedding. I’m not dreading it, I’m excited – I know I’m prepared; but I can’t stop studying. And by studying, I mean planning/preparing/DIYing, because I know I can ACE this bad boy. Mr. Gloss,…

I knew my girls had been planning something fabulous for my bachelorette party (even though I had NO IDEA we were actually doing), so I wanted to get them a little something to kick the weekend off right and thank them for doing all that planning for little ol’ me .

Please stop making cute white dresses and putting them on sale. In case you are not aware, I have already bought seven, yes 7, dresses for the rehearsal dinner and/or wedding day morning. You are making my wallet very upset.

P.S. For those of you who haven’t yet purchased a week’s worth of clothing for one day, please buy one of the cute…

Our photographer isn’t the best at updating her blog – but when she does, I absolutely fall in love all over again. Check out some shots from her latest wedding.
I also stalk our DOC’s blog to see what clever ideas they come up with. Most of which I convince myself I *need* to have. :) I also browse around to see what other fabulous weddings they have done recently and get more and more excited to have them around for my big day.

The ever fabulous Glossy Gals have put together a little shindig in honor of little ol’ me *blush*. They have done an amazing job keeping what is happening a secret, which makes me very excited, mixed in with just a smidge of nervousness. I’m sure whatever they have planned is going to be excessively fabulous, but I still get a little nervous when I think…

Some of you super observant readers noticed my new bio picture and guessed that we FINALLY had our engagement pictures taken. You were right! I’m under strict orders from the mister that these pictures not get plastered around the internet… but I couldn’t hold out from you guys. So, I figured I could post just a few of my favorites, and deal with any consequences…
