About Me: I'm in the midst of trying to plan a "perfectly beautiful" wedding and decorating my new home. It's been exhausting but totally worth every minute of it. Ironically, I was never the type of person to want to get married but now that I'm engaged, I get giddy over anything that is wedding related! I'll try my best to give you all unique and practical ideas.

Wow! I knew Huy was a fantabulous photographer but I never knew how popular he was in the Weddingbee community. Per requests, here are some more great shots.
The rain didn’t go away and neither did those damn mosquitos. But what a great photo op!

Professional pictures in by Huy and his assistant Courtney. They did an amazing job and we’re so happy we hired them for our wedding. I don’t think anyone else could have captured the kind of style that we wanted. While sifting through our photos yesterday, his photos made me point and laugh at them. He really took us back in time to relive all the funny…

Our wedding day began with a little bit of rain but it ended beautifully by night. Actually, in all honesty the reception went by so fast I barely remember any details other than the speeches, the highlight of the evening. Beautiful speeches read by Mr. Apple, our Best Man Lee, and Maid of Honor Susan. We’ve gotten so much wonderful feedback from our guests, they especially…

People kept mentioning to us that it was such a romantic ceremony - the garden, flowers, music, Mr. Apple and my expressions. I can’t wait to see our wedding video because I definitely didn’t notice any of that.

Per reader requests, here are some more photos of my qi pao. These photos were taken from our camera.
I’ll try to post our wedding day in segments so it won’t be wedding photo overload.

I’m married now. It still hasn’t completely hit me yet that I’m married. It’s been a little crazy the past couple of days saying goodbye to family and friends. I’m married!!!! Holy moly! I’m married.
Here are some funny teasers. I’ll post pictures once I get them back from F8 next week.
Poor Mr. Apple. I felt bad so I was wiping away all of the chocolate.

Only five days left until my wedding and all I can think about is how bloated I feel. My stomach looks bigger than normal and I feel my chin doubling up. Any thoughts ladies? It’s not that time of the month or even close to it. I haven’t been eating more or less than normal. I haven’t stepped on the treadmill for over a week…

isn’t until another 2 months but here are some photos I found by Googling. We’ll be traveling around Germany/Switzerland then joining our friends (I am her MOH) on Lake Constance for their wedding.
Here’s our tentative itinerary. We’re still tweaking it, adding adventures and picking hotels, so it’s a work in progress. We’re working with Lydia Jaeger from Belle Vue Travel (Certified Switzerland Specalist). She’s great…

I just got off the phone with my cousin and her first question to me was, “So are you nervous?” That’s been “The #1 question” for me the past 2 weeks.
I usually give them a quick answer, “I’m not nervous at all, just ready to celebrate our wedding day. I am so ready - more ready than anyone will ever know.”
I think I’ve done…

We’re married! Well sort of. We’re just missing a few more signatures, the ceremony, and off our certificate goes to the court house. So our marriage license experience wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve heard horror stories of having to wait in long lines, but I guess we lucked out - living in a small suburb has its perks sometimes. Really…

Do you believe in that?
As a continuation from my previous post, so far I’ve had a good experience with most of my vendors. I guess it could be because I’m paying a premium for it - with the only exceptions being my wedding dress (Lulu’s Bridal) and my florist (Miss Plum, who’s charging me at cost because she’s working on her floral business and portfolio).…

So we’re winding down and heading into three weeks before the big day. And I must say, I’m ready. All of this preparation, organization, minor ocd… but it’s been totally worth it thus far. I can now enjoy the rest of the weeks without having to worry about the diy programs, gifts, outfits, readings, timeline, etc. Us ladies who aren’t procrastinators should be applauded and…

Love these alternative guestbook flickr finds. I am seriously considering doing something similiar to the first one or third one.
