I don’t know whether it was the blood, sweat and tears, and I do mean a lot of tears, that went into planning our wedding that made me want detail pictures so much, or if it was just so that I could always have these visual reminders of everything that was seen, heard, and enjoyed from the most perfect night of my life, thus far.…

I just have to make a confession. As on top of things as I was for the wedding, I completely slacked when it came to the thank yous. Yesterday we finally finished my side of the family, and up next is Mr. H’s side. We haven’t hit the two month mark since the wedding, but it is creeping up on us at a fast rate.

As I was driving to work this morning I realized that two anniversaries will occur on Thanksgiving this year - which, happens to be two days after my birthday - not that you needed to know, I just find that particularly important

Mr. H and I went out on Thanksgiving Eve in 2005 and we both, not purposely, made each other jealous by talking to…

I was completely surprised that our ceremony was exactly one hour long, maybe even a little less, considering all of the Spanish traditions that we included in our ceremony. We were so on top of things time wise, that I waited in the bridal room for almost two hours before I could see Mr. H again!

Here are some highlights of when we finally said our…

Mr. H and I opted to see each other before the ceremony. The main reason for this was because our ceremony started so late (6:30 PM), was a full hour-long mass, and we would still be taking some family pics at the altar after the wedding. We wanted to get some good pics with each other and with our bridal party, so meeting before was…

I’m a sucker for details. I love them so much that, naturally, I asked Perez Photography to take lots of them, and that they did! Here’s the first batch of photos that they snuck in while we were getting ready in my room.

The OOT bags. The hotel even sent one up to our room, and then another to the…

The girls’ (and I mean all of us, me included) plans to get up bright and early for yoga on the day of the wedding were thwarted by a late night upstairs at the Ghostbar at the hotel. One of my bridesmaids got up and went, and then took a run, but the rest of us found sleep to be much more satisfying.

We ordered some…

Yesterday I took on the task of changing my name. I collected all of the proper paperwork and headed out to do the following, in this order:1) Get two certified copies of my marriage certificate.

2) Change Driver’s License.

3) Change Social Security.

I’m going to share my experiences with you all, but please know that this was only my personal experience in the State of Texas. While…

Hello hive! Long time no talk!

I know I’ve been pretty MIA since our big day, but before I get to posting about the rehearsal, wedding day, and honeymoon, I thought I’d share with you one MAJOR compromise that Mr. H and I had right before the wedding.

About two weeks before we were set to tie the knot, Mrs. (then Miss) H got a little nervous…

We’re MARRIED!

The Avery Labels that I chose to use for our cigar bags, that is.

(The final product)

Our cigar roller provided us with the labels for the actual cigars but, since our guests had to take them home (they couldn’t smoke in the hotel), he provided us with baggies and I chose to make the labels for the bags.

When I was creating all of the station signs for the food, we decided last minute that we wanted Bride and Groom signs for our seats at the table. All of our guests were assigned tables, but not specific seats. However, yours truly wanted to make sure our seats were not only distinguishable, but the best in the house as well.

I took it upon myself to create our programs. To create the “guts” of the program, I opted to use Adobe InDesign with the same fonts that have been consistent with all of our wedding things. I waited to complete these until the week before the wedding, after we had the coordinators and priest review it.

I mentioned in my bridesmaid gift post that I created necklaces for all of the girls. I actually made these necklaces for all of the bridesmaids, readers, and house party. Now that the rehearsal dinner is over, I can share with you my creations!

We live in a small town east of Dallas, but the funny thing is that there is this incredible bead store…

But not for long! I woke up early this morning, and the excitement is really starting to get here, because Mr. H and I are getting married TOMORROW!!! We are headed to the hotel today to start organizing, primping and rehearsing for this big day, that has been a long time in the making.

Before I pack up my bag, load the car and head out…
