About Me: I love artistic pursuits of all sorts! I'm creative and organized, but my downfall is obsessing over details. I enjoy running outdoors, trying new restaurants, and staring at décor and wedding magazines for hours on end. I hope to one day design a hotel in a foreign country, preferably France, Greece, Japan, or Australia. I am elated to marry Mr. Licorice and experience life’s adventures with him!
That Was Nice… When Does The Party Start?

The One About My Mother
January 17th, 2008 @ 8:33 am by Mrs. Licorice
You may or may not have noticed that I have completely failed to mention my mother in any of my posts. When I was 18, she passed away. As selfish as this may seem, during the entire planning process, I ached to have my mom guide me and share my excitement. I didn’t let the wise women figures in my life assist too much with the wedding; I was paranoid they were helping out of pity, and to be honest, it just wasn’t the same. My friends kept telling me that she was there with me, but I couldn’t help but feel alone.
I didn’t want to honor her in a blaring way for fear of upsetting my guests. (Her death was very unexpected and tragic.) In my bag, I kept a handkerchief with my wedding date embroidered on it. I chose the date and the color green because they are both significant to my mother. I also carried a piece of her jewelry, an ostentatious charm ring that she loved. I could have picked a quieter piece, but this one reminded me of her sense of humor and her old-school style!

I really don’t care to have my portrait taken, but these I could manage. I get by with a little help from my friends…..

Transition From Haggard Student To Blushing Bride
January 10th, 2008 @ 2:40 pm by Mrs. Licorice
Truth be told, I was completely sleep-deprived and down-right exhausted weeks before the wedding. I elected to take the summer off from school which allotted me just enough time to finish planning every aspect of the wedding by my little ol’ self. While executing the details that I could in the time I had, I let my health and general appearance fall by the way side. I would like to openly thank my godmother and my sister for putting in a tremendous amount of effort the morning of the wedding to make me look like a normal human being. This was no easy feat, I assure you!
