Sorry, I’ve been on hiatus from posting my wedding pics. Things have been busy here in Radish land. Hopefully you guys still remember me around here and are still interested in my post-wedding details.
Anyway, I just wanted to share the details or our wedding cake with you. Here it is, the most well-photographed pastry I have ever eaten! Isn’t it purty?

I went to the fabulous Art & Science salon in Chicago (the Wicker Park location) where my stylist, Kim, cut off over a foot of hair. I’m really happy with it, but I still feel a little naked!

There has been a lot of talk about green weddings lately and it can almost start to sound like just another passing wedding fad. But unlike powder blue tuxedos, this is a wedding trend worth keeping around!

Today is April 15th and you all know what that means… taxes! For the Radishes, this is also a new “marriage milestone” for us. This year marked our very first tax return that we filed together as a married couple. Maybe we should frame it or add it to our scrapbook

After sister Radish gave the maid of honor’s toast, it was our best man’s turn. He is Mr. Radish’s best friend and partner in crime. They met in undergrad and then they both moved out to Chicago for grad school (he went to the Art Institute of Chicago and Mr. R went to the University of Chicago). After Mr. Radish finished his program, I moved…

Little sister Radish was the maid of honor so, of course, it was her job to give a toast. She is very timid and she was nervous about it for weeks before the wedding. When she finally got up to give the toast it was so cute! I have it on video but I haven’t figured out how to upload it yet.

Believe it or not, I am actually a trained dancer. I tap-danced and pliéd my way through adolescence, but thanks to knee problems, I gave up dancing about 10 years ago. I like to think that I retained some gracefulness and a sense of rhythm

We decided to do the whole traditional “grand entrance” thing at our reception. That was the funny thing about our wedding… we ended up doing a lot more of the standard wedding traditions than we originally thought we would. It just kind of worked out that way. Anyhow, we wanted to do our first dance before dinner was served so we did the grand entrance…

We were running a little behind at the church, and then we got LOST on the way to the reception so we didn’t get to the reception venue until about 35 minutes into the cocktail hour. My photographer, along with his assistant for the day, Scott McQuarrie, got to the reception a good 20 minutes before us and, lucky for me, they decided to make…

The 80th annual Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night brought out all the stars and glamour on the red carpet. So, similar to the post I did about the Screen Actor’s Guild awards, here are some dresses that I thought could be great inspiration to those of you out there who are thinking of getting custom gowns.
Keisha Whitaker looked stunning, didn’t she? Forrest is one lucky guy!…
