I’m gettin’ marrrrrrrrrrried. I’m gettin’ marrrrrrrrrried! *cabbage patch dance* I hopped out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to prep the room for the girls’ arrival at 6 (bless their hearts for being morning troopers). In hopes of beating the heat, Mr Piglet and I scheduled our morning ceremony at 11 am. I booked Dorys Foltin for my pretty ladies, and with 6 of…

It was time to kick off the celebration! We invited all of our OOT guests and my Pop’s bruddahs to join us for our quasi-rehearsal dinner. Quasi, because the wedding rehearsal was scheduled for the following day, and our wedding the day after. Moving the rehearsal dinner up a day was a tactical move on our part. We wanted our friends to get loose and…

After dropping off the OOT bags, my sister and I went back to our hotel, woke up Mr Piglet, and headed out the door to start on our long list of to dos. First on the list, eat. My sister is happy so long as her stomach is full. Happy sister equals happy Piglet. I love her company, and wanted her with me for as…

A lot of our friends were coming a week before the wedding to beach, surf, and play. Before they arrived at their hotel, we wanted to drop-off a little welcome gift. Everyone loves a welcome gift – be it cookies, a fresh towel, or a refreshing cocktail. I know I do!

In our RSVP cards, we asked that our friends let us know where they were…

Aloha, hive! Howzit?!

Looky here, that’s us on our wedding day in Hawaii. Has it really been five months?! Is it odd that I’m grinning from ear-to-ear writing this?

A decent amount has happened since then. We’ve finally settled into our cozy apartment near the beach. I quit my job as a consultant, and now work alongside Mr Piglet doing fashion wholesale.

… kiss as husband and wife.

The Piglets are getting married! Time surely flies. It seems like only yesterday that we made the decision to have our wedding in Hawaii. But here we are, 14 months later, surrounded by our closest friends and family… overwhelmed with the love and support of everyone.

After printing and cutting the cardstock for our programs, the lingering question was how we would bind it all together. Initially, we were going to punch an eyelet in the corner to allow the sheets to cascade out and act as a fan, but… I dunno… I just changed my mind. I’m sick of eyelets (kinda sorta). These days, I can’t take a step in…

We’ve been working with Yvonne and Ally from Yvonne Design on our floral and reception decor. Unlike our fabulous Mrs. Latte, I lack the flower gene. I deserve a slap on the wrist, because I was one of those brides that came empty-handed for our first flower consult. After hanging up the phone, I promised to send inspirational photos of what I envisioned for our…

I am over the moon with excitement that we are finally done with the Piglet men’s attire! We nixed khaki suits as an option months ago, and decided on gray for both Mr Piglet and his fellas. With the ladies in yellow, the groomsmen will be donning yellow ties with cute little palm trees (in blue!). I know, I know… it’s spot on for our…

The gifts for my birdies needed some sprucin’ up. I’ll have to share what the actual gifts are in a later post when the girls are in Hawaii. They don’t have the self control to resist peeking on here… nor would I!

After hopping from one blog to the next, I came across Reese Dixon’s tutorial on DIY organza flowers. Perfecto! This floral embellishment was…

Guess what I picked up in Virginia a couple weeks ago?

Zooming out…

Thank you for the warm responses on our invitation post! The Mr and I had huge smiles on our faces while we read everyone’s super sweet comments. It made all our hard work totally worth it. And now, we’re ready to share the details. There were so many elements to our invitation suite, so I’ll try my best to lay things out as clearly as…

Our first dance is a high priority for Mr Piglet. So much so, he wants to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, walk to the beach, and practice our moves… everyday. For the record, it didn’t happen this morning. But he did last Sunday (by himself), and practiced his steps for a solid half hour. WOW. My jaw dropped when he told me…
