For our ceremony, we had our officiant read a few words on the purpose of marriage:

D and S, you have come together for many reasons. You have decided that being together will enrich your lives. You have decided that whatever challenges may lie ahead for you, they can be met more easily with your shared love for each other. You know that your joy will…

I know that I previously downplayed the importance of favors and promoted Sulla’s advice that “if you want to make your wedding better, make it richer in feeling, not stuff.”

Well, after enjoying Dough Ray Me cookies for the first time, I’ve change my mind… My new advice is that “if you want to make your wedding better, make it richer in butter and sugar!!”

…

Sulla, you are my hero.

Brides to be, please do yourself a favor and read up on the Sulla Tips. Even if you’ve already seen them, you should read them again (as I did whenever I felt myself turning back into a wedding-planning zombie)! The Sulla Tips were my most valuable and treasured wedding resource by far.

The core of her advice is this: “If you want…

I didn’t have any formal bridal portrait sessions, but my photographer did catch these great shots as I woke up from a (very short) nap. What I find particularly funny is that I look so peaceful and lovely in these photos, but I am nothing like this when I actually wake up in the mornings. Mr. Ant’s lips are my alarm clock, and I am…

I looove photojournalistic candids that capture human moments and tell a story.

Take this one for example. I call it “Where are the boys? They’re late..”

This is the desktop background that we’ve now set on both of our computers.

I took this photo with my point-and-shoot camera at the Rockhouse on the Thursday before the wedding. See the lounge chairs on the edge of the cliff? Mr. Ant and our friends are sitting in them, admiring the spectacular sunset with their own eyes.

There’s just no better place to get ready!

This is how we spent most of our mini-Honeymoon in St. Lucia…

My wedding dress was crafted by Le Spose di Gio, an Italian designer. The dress was evocative of everything I wanted to be as a bride- feminine, elegant, and lovely. It was simple yet unique… timeless yet modern. Best of all, the silk was so soft, light, and airy… wearing it on my wedding day was an absolute dream! (Can you tell that I adored…

It was absolutely MAGICAL…

More to come after we get back from our mini-Honeymoon in St. Lucia.

Soo… I am getting married in 4 days in Negril, Jamaica.

Over the weekend, the weather forecasts predicted thunderstorms for this coming Saturday.

Then yesterday, the Hurricane network predicted that Tropical Storm Joyce might develop and pass over Jamaica this weekend.

Everyone do the ANTI-rain dance with me!!!

Please help me wish for good weather! Keep thinking bright and sunny thoughts!

After two girls-only events, my Bachelorette night ended with a surprise co-ed party at a club. We had a BLAST! It was ridiculously fun and absolutely unforgettable!

My girls gave me a list of Bachelorette tasks to complete. The first one was easy! (Get a guy to buy me shots.)

Actually, random guys were offering to buy me shots all night! Apparently, Bachelorette = free alcohol, and…

For the dinner portion of my Bachelorette party, we headed over to Lucky Cheng’s, a restaurant that features drag queen waitresses and a raunchy show.

I would not recommend going there at all.

I’ve actually been there before for dinner and a show back in February 2004 for my birthday. Back then, the show was entertaining, the drag queens were very impressive (those legs!), and the food…

I thought that I was almost done with all my wedding related tasks… I thought that I could finally get a chance to relax and take a break from wedding planning…

Unfortunately, that has not been the case…
