I met up with a friend who I haven’t seen in ages (6 months or so) a few weeks ago, and she mentioned that I am “glowing”.

Huh? Glowing? But I’m not pregnant? People “glow” when they’re pregnant, right?

Maybe it’s the “I am going to be married glow?”

Did you receive any comments like that?

….I agreed.

You see, Mr. Apple is a huge Lord of the Rings fan. He has the LOTR Trilogy Series on dvd. He also received this leather bound LOTR 50th Anniversary Edition book from me a few years back for Christmas. So after seeing a LOTR post awhile back from Miss Blueberry, he suggested why not have towns from LOTR as our table “numbers”.

With these unique…

Miss Emerald posted this awhile back and I thought it was a great idea so I stole it! Haha… thanks Miss Emerald!

Except I won’t be using teddy bears, I’ll be using Marvel Comic’s Spiderman instead. My two nephews will be my ringbearers so I thought since they love Spiderman, why not just have them hold one. Plus, they can play with them post wedding. The…

…great opportunity to get DIY silk flowers, bridal stuff, etc. — for cheap! Go go go, for sure I am!

Mr. Apple just purchased the Toyota Prius a few days ago and it kicks ass. These hybrid cars are the best thing since sliced bread! The Prius is basically like sitting inside a computer.

Though we have many fond memories cruising in his 1996 burgundy Toyota Camry with over 150,000 miles, a missing hubcap, and a broken door handle, it was time to part ways. It…

For Mr. Apple and I music is key. We love to listen to a broad list of music genres from alternative, to jazz, country, blues, hard rock, r & b, pop, and classic rock. We’re working on a list right now and have a nice array of selected slow songs, but are having difficultly finding fast dance songs. His parents are quite conservative so no…

Without my knowledge and consent (ha), my sister and maid of honor planned a surprise bridal shower. I kind of had a stinking suspicision a couple of times, but wasn’t 100% sure. I even grilled Mr. Apple a few times - he says he thinks I work for the Chinese CIA cuz I’m so good at asking him 20 questions.

So surprise, surprise! I heard that…

I wasn’t 100% pleased with my first hair trial. I had envisioned a particular “hair look” for myself but couldn’t seem to relay the same vision to my hairstylist. She got pretty close but I just didn’t feel… she was the right one. So one point five months left before the big day, I had my second hair trial with Miriam E. Azary in Plano.…

I received a phone call from my friend “Paul the baker” last week letting me know that he could no longer be my cake baker. He has this huge project/start up (non baking related) that he needs to concentrate on, and wrap up around the time of my wedding. I was disappointed to say the least… ok I was peeved that he would do this…

One year ago yesterday Mr. Apple proposed to me. If it weren’t for it being on Easter Sunday, I would have completely forgotten. Mr. Apple forgot too. I don’t mind really. We’re both pretty bad remembering our anniversary or proposal date. We just passed our 4 year anniversary last month. No celebration. No biggie. I think we’re the kind of couple who accepts one another…

1) I love the smell of playdo, even as an adult.

2) I have to wear a bra to sleep or else I feel naked.

3) I have dreams that I leave the house without shoes on.

4) I must eat every 2-3 hours except when I’m sleeping.

5) I like to people watch.

6) I don’t enjoy eating apples but I love apple juice.

For those brides who don’t feel comfortable in a poofy white wedding dress, these may be some great alternatives. I would so rock this outfit if I were a few years older. These could also work for Mother of the Bride dresses.

I know a few people who would find this t shirt amusing.

I found this vintage French wire photo scroll set on ebay. Very cute for reception tables or maybe even at the guestbook table. At $21.99/set, they’re a little pricey for me but maybe they will work for you!
