On a slightly chilly October day, I woke up early, took my gown out of the closet, and slipped it on. I was a bit upset that the dress actually fit looser than it did on my wedding day!

Anyhooo, Mr. Orchid and I went into Manhattan to meet with our friends Katya & Arthur of Story Motion Studios. They also did my fantabulous Atlantic City shots. After a…

I picked up my photos from Something In Blue on Monday! I’ve been so busy I’m not even finished going through all 1500 of them yet! Here’s a little sample ’til this weekend’s update!

Some sneak peek photos from our FANTABULOUS photographers Jack & Margaret of Something In Blue.

I took off from work early a couple weeks ago to make it to a Trash the Dress bash in Atlantic City.  I drove 2 hours from NYC to meet the group there at 5:00pm, and I got there just in time.  About 11 brides showed up where the famous Mark Eric and Jason Dominguez greeted us. We were taken up into a suite to get changed and ready for the…

It’s countdown time for me - I have but one month ’til my wedding. Eek! So much to do so little time! My RSVPs had been coming en masse, but now it’s down to a slow trickle and I still have those that we are hounding down. To those that have written a little ditty, or a congrats, or blessings on our RSVPs, I thank…

First off, get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about lip color/lipstick for my wedding day. My absolute most favorite lipcolor in the world is Orgasm, by NARS. Unfortunately it only comes in a lipgloss. I need something that’ll last. I don’t just want an orgasm that’ll last to my first drink, I want a long lasting one, damn it! *ahem*

What’s not to…

Just in time for late summer and fall weddings, the USPS has announced their “Wedding Hearts” series of Stamps. These babies will be available in Post Offices starting June 27, 2007.  So RUN don’t walk to your nearest post office!  

The Wedding Hearts stamps will be available in two denominations to cover both the one-ounce and the two-ounce mailing rates. Each one-ounce stamp is intended for use…

As my 1st fitting date draws closer, I am nervous about losing enough weight in time. But I’m just waiting and counting the days until I can see her again. Here are some picture of when I went to try on my gown, as soon as it came in a few months ago. I love her…

Sweetie if you’re reading this STOP NOW!!!~

Taking a good picture of my invitations has proven to be quite the challenge. First off, they are printed on this beautiful pearlescent paper that has this beautiful shimmer. However when you take a picture of it, that beautiful shimmer turns into an ugly over exposed glare. And on top of that, the crappy lighting in my apartment doesn’t help much either. But here they…

What kind of entertainment will you be having at your wedding? Miss Emerald’s Post got me thinking about this. Because other than the traditional slideshow (which I have been procrastinating making), I am also considering having a few performances at my wedding.

From when I was about 8 years old up until college, I have been part of my temple’s music and dance troupe. As far…

This was a collage of our Thailand engagement pictures that was blown up and put into a 30×40 frame for me. More blogging later. I’m still jetlagged.

Salutations from Thailand!!! Here’s a teaser of some of the pix I got back from my photoshoot.

I’ll be back home next week. I’ve been so behind on everyone’s blogs. I’ll catch up when I get home!

Enjoy the Eye Candy!!!

Now I know it’s right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There’s nowhere on earth that I’d rather be than holding you tenderly…

Any Foreigner fans? Hellooo?? Okay, maybe not. Do I sound a bit obsessive and corny? Okay, yeah maybe, but I’m just soooooooooooo excited!!~ The bridal shop called me this morning and my dress is in!!! I couldn’t stop thinking…

I think it was back in my high school days when Revlon was pushing advertisements with Cindy Crawford and Color Stay lipstick. At that time my color was Sienna, and when I look back at pictures I think, “Oh… my God, what was I thinking?!” My dark red lipstick color totally contrasted against my light skin, not to mention my lovely navy Catholic school uniform.…

I absolutely love this book.

It’s savvy, stylish and well written, giving wonderful tips on how to save money and what to know before meeting with your vendors. The tone of this book is very light, making it fun and readable unlike your usual wedding how-to book drone. In each of the sections, the author not only goes through how to approach vendors to ensure…
