At the time of my last fitness entry, I was only 5 pounds away from my weight goal. I was excited. Currently, I have surpassed my weight goal by 1.4 pounds and I’m not feeling that same excitement. I’ve kept the same schedule: eating healthy on the weekdays, eating without guilt on the weekends and doing weights and cardio about 3-4 times a week. Apparently,…

1. I am 25 and have never been drunk in my life. I do not drink, have not taken any drugs with the exception of medicine (which I never really take as well).

2. I am allergic to calamari. I did not find this out until last year.

3. I can’t fold my tongue into a taco like everyone else in the whole entire world. I believe…

I was at Target the other day and happened to see my wedding colors popping out at me in the form of a little girl’s Easter dress. My first thought was, “How cute! I would wear this if they had it in my size!” Then, my second more rational thought was, “Hmm…..little girl’s dress…….wedding colors………..cute………cheap…….Hello……..perfect flower girl dress for only $18.99!!!!”

Isn’t it pretty and the…

I wrote earlier about the awesome experience I had with Cards and Pockets and Paper and More. Well, here is the fruit of my DIY labor: my ghetto invitation mock-up. The inserts are supposeed to be on the same light blue linen paper as the invitation and of course the cuts will be straight (duh!). Also, the fonts on the inserts will be the same…

I’ve been working diligently over the past couple of days on scanning pictures for our wedding slideshow. I hate scanning pictures. I hate it! This morning, I spent an hour scanning about 30 pictures (yes I’m slow) and then I couldn’t find them on the computer. About 30 minutes into my frantic teary eyed search I contemplated scanning them again. It was a fleeting thought. This was a matter of principle. It…

For our table names, we’re using pictures of us at all the special places we’ve been to. I’m cropping the pictures into squares and typing the name of the place on the picture. As an added bonus, I’m turning the pictures into our wedding colors. A couple of people have asked me how to get your picture monochromatic using Photoshop. So here’s the 4-1-1. (Note:…

Okay, so I blogged about my inexpensive yet very cute shoes yesterday. Today, I found two pictures of my shoes on some photographer’s blogs. I went through some stages - at first I was excited, then I was sad that they were so popular, and then lastly I accepted that if you have such cute shoes for cheap, chances are they’re going to be popular.

So…

My inexpensive yet really cute David’s Bridal shoes came in this week. I love them! Here are some pictures:

I was 18 years old when I met the love of my life. It was a Friday night. All the roommates were out and I was bored out of my mind. My new friend Matt (who I had known a total of 2 weeks) called me and asked if he could bring his friend Adam over. I thought nothing of it and allowed these tall,…

Like many brides, I drooled over pocketfold invitations but cringed at the price tag that came along with it. I searched far and wide and then finally decided that if I wanted them, I would have to do it myself. At first the task of cutting all the paper and putting everything together gave me a headache. I’m horrible with a scoring knife and papercutters…

We just got our Aria bridesmaid dresses in this past weekend. The whole process went rather smoothly, and we received them 3 weeks before the promised date. We love love love the color and the style. It’s perfect…more beautiful than we imagined! The material is gorgeous. I highly recommend them. My bridesmaids even joked that they wanted to wear it before the wedding. (Not funny…

January was a great month for me. After fighting it for 8 years, I have finally embraced the gym. It’s amazing. Before, I would shudder at the thought of going. While I was there I would do a half-ass job, doing 30 minutes on the elliptical and rushing home to eat a big dinner.

What changed you might be asking? Well, my friends and I started…

Well, not really. Sorry to get your hopes up. But if you had $5000 more to spend on your wedding, what would you do? My fiance would take the cash and pocket it, invest it in stocks or spend it on the honeymoon. I’d pass out hors d’oeuvres, have a candy buffet, have a gondola exit off the yacht (our reception is on a yacht),…

Photography has always been a big part of my life. I collect landscape photography, photography books and my dream job would be a photographer for National Geographic. I have not been without a camera in my purse since Jr. High and I document everything wherever I go. It drives my fiance nuts. I can hear his voice in my head right now saying, “Do you…

Thanks a bunch to everyone for commenting on the Weddingbee Readers Poll! Now that you’ve all shared, I’ll share a little more! haha. I picked up my dress yesterday, and I remember the reasons I fell in love with it the first time I tried it on.

1. The corset makes me look a little thinner
2. The fabric is gorgeous and light
3. It kinda makes me…
