Fondue Does Europe, Part 4: Florence

September 21st, 2009 @ 12:39 pm by Ms Fondue

Previously: Paris | Lake Como | Venice

And now for the conclusion to our great European adventure!

The train ride from Venice to Florence was long (about three to four hours) but, thankfully, a straight-shot. The train started out relatively empty, but filled up at each of the stops along the way.

Fondue Does Europe, Part 3: Venice

September 18th, 2009 @ 12:55 pm by Ms Fondue

Previously: Paris | Lake Como

We arrived in Venice on Wednesday, June 10, by train. We had decided that since we would only be in the city for a few days, we would just take our carry-on luggage and store our large suitcases. There was a luggage storage area in the train station, so that was our first stop.

With small bags in tow, we then tried…

Fondue Does Europe, Part 2: Lake Como

September 17th, 2009 @ 12:58 pm by Ms Fondue

Previously: Paris

Early in the morning of Monday, June 8, our train arrived in Milan. From there, we caught another train to Como. In Como, we had to take a bus to Bellagio. I wasn’t sure where to buy bus tickets, so I tried the train ticket line. The woman at the window didn’t speak English, but, luckily, a woman next to me offered to translate,…

Fondue Does Europe, Part 1: Paris

September 15th, 2009 @ 12:53 pm by Ms Fondue

Hey, anyone out there remember me?

When the ex-Mr. Fondue and I were discussing our honeymoon, I was really pushing a trip to Europe. Neither of us had ever been, and it was a dream of mine to go, especially to France and Italy. But he vetoed this, his reason being that he wanted to relax, not go sightseeing on our honeymoon. We decided on…

Miss Fondue’s First Project

May 2nd, 2009 @ 4:45 pm by Ms Fondue

I know it’s been a while, and I promised you guys I’d share a few more of my projects. I’ve just recently (in the past month or so) been able to start reading about weddings again without getting all misty-eyed and, since this would have been our wedding weekend, I thought I would share one of the first projects that I did: our wedding website.

A Wedding is Nothing Without a Marriage

February 12th, 2009 @ 5:14 pm by Ms Fondue

I hope you all will forgive my absence, but it has been a rather emotional and stressful month. However, you readers have been so great to me that I feel you deserve some sort of explanation.

Soon after the New Year, Mr. Fondue expressed some concerns with our relationship. He had been acting moody, which I thought was due to holiday stress at his job plus…

Happy 2009, Everyone!

January 2nd, 2009 @ 3:43 pm by Ms Fondue

I hope everyone had a great holiday season!

I have several cool things to share with you in the coming weeks, including bridesmaid dress shopping (although I’m still waiting on some photos Mama Fondue took) and my fauxtobooth epiphany. However, I’m still recovering from New Year’s Eve, so all you’re getting today is some photos of my New Year’s party decor.

Most of it was based…

A New Toy

December 29th, 2008 @ 3:28 pm by Ms Fondue

I had been resisting the series of ring shots the other Bees have been posting, but I can’t any longer. My big gift from my parents this Christmas was a Canon Digital Rebel XT. So, of course, I had to practice using it, as I have never owned a dSLR before. And what is there to take pictures of other than my cats and my…

Review: Wedding Dash 2

December 29th, 2008 @ 8:15 am by Ms Fondue

One of the gifts I received from my brother and his girlfriend for Christmas was a game called Wedding Dash 2. I’d never played the first one, but if you’ve played any of the Dash series of games, then this one is fairly similar.

You play as Quinn, a top wedding planner. She is competing to have the honor of planning a very exclusive wedding. She…

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season! Now that Christmas has come and gone, I can safely show you the photo books we made for our parents using our engagement photos.

We used Blurb to make the books. This was the second time I have used them — the first being a wedding gift to my bridesmaid Becka and her husband of photos I…

I’m Dreaming of a White Wedding

December 19th, 2008 @ 10:59 am by Ms Fondue

Many brides, at some point during their engagement period, will have a dream (or nightmare, usually) about their wedding day. I am no exception.

Shortly after becoming engaged, I had a dream that my parents decided to hold the wedding at this itty-bitty church in the middle of nowhere, and I didn’t know about it until the night of the rehearsal. The majority of dream was…

Something Red…

December 18th, 2008 @ 4:15 pm by Ms Fondue

Before I even went dress shopping, I knew I wanted to wear red shoes under my gown. This, in part, is fueled by pictures like this one from our photographer, Kate Crafton:

My other criteria involved having a 2-3″ heel (I’m 5’1″ and need all the help I can get) but for the shoes to not be ridiculously uncomfortable. I had the hardest time narrowing down…

It’s All in the Neckline

December 17th, 2008 @ 11:24 am by Ms Fondue

Back in September, my bridesmaid Becka (you may remember her from the day I went gown shopping) was in Knoxville visiting family. She and her husband moved to South Carolina a year or so ago, and we rarely get to see them. So Mr. Fondue and I headed over to East Tennessee to hang out with them. (Too bad I didn’t know Miss Cheese then!)

It’s a Thriller, Thriller Night!

December 16th, 2008 @ 10:34 am by Ms Fondue

About five months after Mr. Fondue and I started dating, we went to Six Flags Over Georgia with my bridesmaid Frances and her husband Joe for Fright Fest. I have many, many fond memories of this trip.

The Fondues with Frances on the Superman coaster.

Six Flags normally plays their theme song and some other things over their speakers, but for Fright Fest, they were playing Halloween-type…

Our DIY Videographers

December 15th, 2008 @ 1:51 pm by Ms Fondue

After much discussion, budget crunching, and back and forth, we have decided not to hire a videographer. You may remember that we were debating it, but we just couldn’t work the company we wanted into our budget and didn’t want to settle for less. (For you Nashville area brides, we were considering FocalPoint Cinematic, so check them out if you are looking for a videographer.)
