If you’re looking for a cute last minute idea for your loved ones, I’ve been whipping up a storm of felt hearts to include in my Valentine’s this year.  I actually wrote a guest post on Weddingbee PRO today on how to make them – check it out.

… on our second honeymoon!!!

Back in July when we got married, we took a short trip to Montreal for our honeymoon with plans of another trip to Thailand. Well it is a reality! We leave on Saturday for almost 3 weeks in beautiful Thailand. Now at least 1 week of that is work related for me, but we will have plenty of vacation time also.

Here are some upcoming events for you DC brides!  Anna Post is signing her new book Emily Post’s Wedding Parties on January 12th.

As I am sure you know, many couples send out holiday cards that have a picture from their wedding their first year together. It’s a great time to start your list of recipients now, and put that massive spreadsheet from the wedding guest list to use! I just finished designing ours and am debating between two styles, and was hoping you can help.

Thanks!!!

I recently came across the beautiful work of Susan Poneman at Heavenly Hydrangeas and want to share a couple of pics with you DC brides.

Her work is so fresh and inspired. I love the garden feel of her flowers.

I can’t believe it has been almost two months since we got married… I am not sure where the time went! And I thought things would calm down after the wedding.

(And, a few of these are not pro pics)

A few of our favorites are included in this bunch, including this one of Mr. Raspberry’s hand on my back during the receiving line.

We had a Catholic mass and it was beautiful! It was about an hour and we packed it full of music. Here are a few (ok many) pictures from the ceremony…

Our pics from the photographer are finally here!!!

There are so many I want to share, I thought it best to break them down into a few posts, so today I will share the pics of the girls getting ready…

I thought it would be fun to share our first dance video since Mr. Raspberry and I took 8 weeks of dance lessons where we learned to foxtrot, salsa, and waltz. Then decided we really wanted to swing since we have loved dancing to swing forever, and threw all the formal steps out the window…

Our friends got married on 7/7/07 and she surprised her new husband with a ride in Doc Brown’s DeLorean!!! She put a post on Craig’s list that she was looking for someone with a DeLorean to drive them back to the hotel after the reception and jokingly mentioned that she was willing to pay…

My engagement ring is lonely no more!
