Okay, ladies. Time to spill it. What pet names do you and your fiance/husband have for each other?

I’ll go first.

Mr. Licorice now calls me “wifey.” I call him “lovey.”

I’ve been pretty busy setting up our new apartment (and dealing with the Financial Aid department at school, bleh), so I haven’t gotten around to blogging about DIY fun. Thus, I am taking the easy way out; here are some non-pro wedding pics:

Ceremony:

Hey y’all! I’m back from Paris, and I see there is a flurry of activity at the hive! I can’t wait to read all the posts I missed!

As for the wedding, it was truly the most wonderful day of my life. The day started out cloudy and gray, but by mid-afternoon, the sun had come out to play. The cool breeze added a certain…

Because I am getting married today. Up late with the jitters, I decided to write one last post as a single woman. I feel that I this point, I have planned as much as I could. I’m ready to enjoy the day and have fun!I promise when I come back, I will share all my DIY projects and pictures! A bientot!

This past weekend was INSANE! My bachelorette party was Saturday night with my bridal shower following the very next day. I’ll share my bachelorette party in this post. (Please don’t read this at work. There is a suprise at the end.)

It all started with the invitation that included this poem:

Something saucy or something sexy will get you in the door-
At the Hyatt Place Buckhead and…

Rachelle from Wiley Valentine pulled elements from my DIY monogram to create the floral motif on my invites.  But I loved all the invite concepts she had originally sent over:

When I heard all the buzz about the influx of passport requests, I was super nervous about getting mine on time. I had it expedited with overnight shipping both ways, and that seems to have done the trick. It cost quite a bit more, but the price was nothing compared to the thought of not going to Paris.

Please excuse the stupid expression on my face;…

At the beginning of planning our wedding, my fiance decided to keep the honeymoon a suprise. A few of my married friends had done this and said it was exciting and fun. Well, I do love a good suprise, as long as I’m not expecting one. If I already know about it, I start to freak out.

Mr. Licorice was able to keep it a secret for…

Man, oh man! My dress is still pretty much hacked up! It is not yet hemmed, and the lace needs to be tacked on in the front. Oh, and the seamstress has to open it up in the middle AGAIN to get rid of the odd bumpiness around the waistline.

Please excuse the extreme bloat.

I really wanted to present my bridesmaids with Coach Wristlets as their bridesmaid gift. I had to pay for these myself, and with a part-time job at a clothing store, I had to save up! When the time came to purchase, I wasn’t in love with the wristlets available for what I could afford. I decided to trek to the Coach Factory store to see…

After writing my last post on lighting, I did some more research on Adam Frank Lumens. As lovely as these fixtures are, they will not create the lighting effect I need. There is a huge blank wall behind where I would like to place the head table, and the shadow produced by the Lumen will be quite small in comparision. I was prepared to suck…

I’ve never understood why most brides-to-be are forced to drink from penis straws and are duped into wearing condom adorned veils during their bachelorette parties. I just don’t get why this is so funny!

In order to unveil this mystery, I decided to do some research through an esteemed online publication: 101 Bachelorette Party Tips. Its homepage reads that “Bachelorette parties are renowned for inspiring women…

I had a small surprise shower back in May, so one of my bridesmaids is planning one big shower coming up soon!My best friend and interior design partner-in-crime created the invitations:

If you ever needed a reason not to do DIY projects in the wee hours of the morn’: I spelled my name wrong. I spelled my first name wrong.

The envelope reads “M I C H C L L E.” I didn’t catch this until the next day after I had already printed 50 envelopes. Teehee. This is only for the thank you notes. At…

I don’t think I was ever more indecisive about an article of clothing as I was about my wedding dress. There’s no point to this post other than to provide a fine excuse for looking at pretty frocks.

Observe, the bridal gown search…

Although I wanted to inject some traditional elements into the overall scheme of the wedding, I wanted a completely atypical dress.

Upon laying eyes…
