Wedding Blog

I feel like I’ve been away for a century! Well, I’m back now and have soooo much to share! We had a wonderful, laid back kind of wedding. I really wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was great; the weather was wonderful, there were no major mishaps, and no ugly cry. I have much to share with you: final preps before the wedding,…

Mr. Sushi,

In only a few hours we will be legally bonded together… forever. I can’t believe that after ALL our ups and downs over the last 3 and a half years, life has brought us to this path. I love it. I love you. And I’m excited to start a new chapter in my life, with you in it. I know that with everything we’ve…

First, I want to apologize for not being an avid bee lately. It really is true when they say that the time goes by fast. Before I knew it we were in the 30-day stretch and still had TONS to do, and not much time to blog about it. But don’t worry, I did make time to record it with my handy digital camera. You’ll…

Talk about procrastination. It’s less than a week before we leave for Hawaii, and only NOW did we get Mr. Sushi’s suit tailored. Better late than never. It was actually a good thing we waited because Mr. Sushi has been in training mode, and managed to gain over 20 pounds of muscle in 7 months. That determination and dedication, I do not have when it comes to…

Phew! Things have been pretty hectic lately.

By this time next week, Mr. Sushi and I will be relaxing (hopefully!) in Hawaii before the days leading up to our wedding. The last two weeks I’ve been confirming timelines, re-confirming vendors, finishing up small projects and basically trying to get organized. I’ve been running around like a headless chicken!

One of the smaller projects I’ve been working on are…

I looked high and low, but I guess I was just being picky. I either didn’t like the style, didn’t like the price, or they didn’t have the colors I wanted. Honestly, I was being cheap. I didn’t want to spend $$ on a cardigan that I might not wear again. And the ones I liked, that I would most likely wear again and again,…

Two weeks ago I had my first (and only) dress fitting. Sillyinphilly had recommended me to her seamstress in Lititz, and seriously girls, this woman is a godsend (and only gets work by word of mouth)! I literally was in and out of her hair in 15 minutes. The zipper on my dress kept sticking, to the point where I could not get out of…

Last week Miss Martini talked about tattoo cover ups. This is the opposite of a cover up. Mr. Sushi and I are actually fond of tattoos. He and I both had a couple tattoos… ’til this past October when I finally decided to take the plunge and get a massive piece of art done.

I’ve been pondering the idea of getting a back…

If I could afford it, I would sooooo rock this:

I am pretty much the last of my friends to have a child. It’s quite interesting actually, about 95% of my non-married friends have kids, but only about 30% of my married friends have kids. That being said, I’ve seen my friends with kids go through lots of drama. Drama with their baby’s daddy (whether they are still the boyfriend, or now the ex), drama…

I heard a rumor somewhere that you could save your already-burned Gocco screens in case you wanted to print the same design on a different day. Well, I put this rumor to the test and succeeded! Remember our return address I printed on our invitations? I just didn’t feel right tossing the screen in the trash when I was done, so instead, I wrapped the screen in…

While I’ve actually enjoyed planning a destination wedding, there are a few things that have me feeling guilty because of the fact that we’re having a destination wedding.

Unfortunately, the majority of Mr. Sushi’s family and friends will not be able to make it to our wedding. Besides the undeniable cost, some of his family members have been dealing with health issues or have military obligations, which…

Mr. Sushi is a shoe fan. A Nike shoe fan. If I’m a shoe whore, then he’s a shoe pimp.

Mr. Sushi can be very picky when it comes to his shoes and clothes, which made picking out an outfit for him to wear on our wedding day very difficult, but in the end you can definitely see his style in his “grooms wear”. I suggested…

I’m not sure if you noticed or not, but I’ve never posted about any reception details, mainly because I don’t have any reception details to blog about. In lieu of a traditional reception, we’re taking our guests to a luau for dinner instead. This means no hiring of a DJ, no linens, no centerpieces, no caterer, no menus, no cake, which equals no stress. Instead,…

I’m in limbo with our planning right now while waiting for our RSVPs to make it back to us (that’s a hint for our family and friends!!). Since a few of our guests have called with some inquiries, I thought I would list a few of my favorite “touristy” things to do on Oahu.
