Wedding Blog

So I’m stepping back a little and showcasing some finished work that we had done for the wedding I didn’t get a chance to write about before.

I know I got my ceremony pin from k.autumn from relish at home, but one is never enough, so I asked her to make me something completely new and different, nothing like she’d ever made before. Being awesome and…

The wedding is over!

Mr. GB said it felt so short, but I felt like it took forever to start, but we still didn’t have time to set everything up perfectly. We were planning on setting up Friday, but it was pouring rain.

We had our complaints, but overall things went really well and we were glad to see after the music had stopped and vendors were…

Remember how I had my dress anxiety, but in the midst of the horrors, we discovered Odastyle? We already knew they were sweet, super nice, amazingly talented girls… but how much? Well, they gave me something totally unexpected:

Which do you want first? Ok, we’ll start with the good because it makes for pretty pictures, and we all know that pretty pictures is what makes you guys come back day after day. (That and the hope that Mr. GB will write that Japan guide for you, and he will, but probably after the wedding.)

I’m feeling a little blah today, I took a nap…

I know, I know, I bought a clutch already. But then I got hooked on Phantom Hourglass and neeeeed my DS with me. So I wanted to get something to hold it! I present you with the perfect portable gaming wedding clutch!

You’ve seen the photos, you saw it in Martha Stewart Weddings and all the design blogs. K. Autumn’s hair pins.

The only thing you don’t know is that Kelly of K. Autumn is possibly one of the nicest people on the planet. I’m lucky enough to live close by her shop, Relish at Home, in Berkeley. I stopped in, wanting to pick up the latest j.…

I’m a slave driver. I’m forcing last minute crafts into my schedule of work and meetings like nobody’s business… well, except yours, of course! Well, like all the rest of us and our envy of Mrs. Plumeria’s awesome palmier idea, we wanted to offer something as a snack upon arrival! It’s been tough to keep Mr. GB from eating the cookies!!! I think an electronic…

Nope, you had to go and throw more craft on your plate. Yes yes, we did. The past few days have been the busiest most appointment filled days of our lives. I still couldn’t leave Mr. GB just standing there to play Halo 3 all day, I set him to work and, of course, did some myself.

Cake. So we wanted to make sure people…

As I mentioned before, Mr. GB and I decided to avoid dancing altogether and go with have a picnic style lounge area and games. We’re recommending to all our friends and family to bring their handheld games. Since Mr. GB worked in the industry and I, for some reason, only know dorks and even more game industry folk, we’re expecting some serious wireless gaming. Bring…

Not our baker, she’s not lazy at all. But we didn’t want to subject her to making a billion sugar flowers for one of our cakes, so we bought some online for her to just paste onto the cake later. We love her, so we figured anything we could do to make her life easier we’d just go ahead and do it ourselves. You can…

This is how I felt putting on this borrowed Korean Hanbok. My mother was very adamant about wanting to involve us in a Korean ceremony. She’s trying to block a full hour for it, but honestly, our main ceremony is 20 minutes at the most and most of our guests don’t speak a lick of Korean, including Mr. GB. But she’s my mom and so…

I like Hello Kitty, I admit it. I have a few odd hello kitty paraphernalia that I collected over the years. You know, Hello Kitty douche set (i kid you not), Badtz Maru Condoms, Hello Kitty Maxipads… the usual. Mr. GB has no idea how much I used to bathe myself in Hello Kitty goods, buying as much as I could and drooling over the…

We’re counting down the days and starting to panic. So many things to iron out and finalize and… start and finish. Oops, I put too many projects off and I have to start them this week!

One of those emergencies was quickly fixed by the nice people over at Paper Monkey Press. We realized on Friday that our table numbers were only one sided, not two…

Between having a bridal brunch with my sister and some friends, walking out with a whole lot of anthropologie and a box of sweet tarts that I have been eating non stop for the past 2 days, a wedding on Sunday, and beating Blue Dragon in the evenings… we’ve been pretending that we’re not getting married and that we have nothing to do. So when…

It’s a sensitive subject - but this is something that all girls have to think about before their wedding. The BC.

BC stands for two things for me, both of which are pretty much destroyers of my happiness.

1) Bloody C*nt. (thanks to a friend, who calls it this and I thought it was fitting)

Ok, so graphic and disgusting, but if we’re out and I’m feeling particularly…
