So, it has been two years since Mr. GB and I said our ridiculous vows and got married. So how have things changed?

We look so sweet!

Well, Mr. GB still lives in constant fear of being kanchoed when going up stairs, so I can safely say our relationship is pretty much the same. We did move from our cute place in Lake Merritt to a larger,…

After the wedding I had my dress cleaned, put it neatly in a bag, and then threw it on the floor in the back of my closet, heaped into a little pile. I thought I might sell it one day, but Mr. GB is sentimental and doesn’t want me to. I’m not attached to much; even cards that I give to Mr. GB I hand…

The one thing we always kept in mind while planning our wedding was the feel. That was the most important thing for us - not how I looked, nor the details of the ceremony. We didn’t even have a rehearsal or plan a ceremony until about 10 minutes before we went out. We didn’t want everything to look meticulously planned; we wanted it to feel…

One year and some number of months ago, I got married to my ginger-kid and then didn’t talk about it. So here I am, older, not wiser (I may have lost more marbles since then) and trying to piece together my day and share it with you.

I’ll spare the details of the cocktail hour, as I was getting changed and apparently Mr. GB was making…

Mr. GB and I are that couple. That couple that your kids love to see because our house is filled to the brim with candy and has all the coolest toys. We buy kids whatever they want, spoil them rotten, and then send them home pouting and saying “but THEY let me do _____!! How come you’re not as cool as they are!?” Mr. GB claims…

It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted, but I swear I have something relevant to post about.

Something you may or may not know is that during the entire 18 months that we planned our wedding, (we planned for a hella* long time) Mr. GB was unemployed. I have mentioned that he did as much planning as I did, he was at every meeting,…

Our anniversary came and went. Actually, we lived it twice as we were on a plane and flew back in time. A perfect anniversary, spent in airports, mid-air, and then jet lagged… we are truly a romantic couple, as I wore yoga pants and the ugliest, but most comfortable, most likely dirty shirt I could find for our 9-hour flight. I’m just that sexy, it…

There is no way to say this delicately, but it has to be said.

I wanted to have all my hair ripped off pre-wedding. Yes, all of it. I wanted to be smooth and aerodynamic, so that should I need to fly or swim faster than someone else, I would have an edge.

if challenged to a slip ’n slide contest, I’d totally rock you

Despite the rain the day before, it actually turned out to be a gorgeous, cloudless day .. and we had to break out the parasols and fans for everyone!

Yea, I know, I spend too much time looking at their website. But if you’re looking for the perfect bridal set, just something for your honeymoon… or because you are narcissistic and want to look at yourself in the mirror in hot lingerie, check out Agent Provocateur’s Online Sale!

I really think they should be sending me kick-backs at this point.

I’ve been trying to ignore it, but it’s impossible.

I knew this would happen…. I’m obsessed with wedding planning.

Admittedly, I was the one who adamantly did NOT want to have a wedding, being forced to have an intervention from Mr. GB and my mother about how I HAD to have one or I’d regret it… I knew why. Because if I let myself start looking, I’d…

…a complete list of our vendors, but nothing makes me more nervous than actually writing a review. I have no problem with self-deprecation, but if I have to say anything negative, I get all red and flustered and just run. So I’ll say the good, hint to anything that was… not so good, and hope that since our wedding was so long ago, that all…

A close friend of mine is getting married today, so I wanted to throw her a mini-bachelorette-party. It was an all day affair, but I won’t go into the list of things we did that may not interest anyone, and if it does, you can always ask. That is, if I don’t disappear off the face of the earth again…

My obsession with turning everyone I…

It’s true, I do. I’m starting to look like golem and my skin is getting translucent from lack of exposure. I’m expecting to start de-evolving and crawl back into the water, and if I’m lucky, I’ll turn into this.

I love these things
