Last Sunday, Mr. Tiramisu and I celebrated our very first wedding anniversary! It is so hard to believe that it has been a whole year since our stormy and wonderful wedding day. We celebrated with a little weekend trip to Maine.
Of course, we had to pay a visit to our wedding venue. They were cleaning up from the Saturday wedding, so hopefully they didn’t notice…

Pardon the brief interruption from the honeymoon recap while we bring you a glimpse into the groom’s side of the wedding planning equation! Our photographer, Samantha Warren, recently ran a series of guest posts on her blog, titled “Bride’s Side”. She asked her previous clients to give advice to her future clients in the form of a blog post. Well, today she had to change…

The second stop on our three-island honeymoon trip was Bora Bora! It’s a short plane ride from Moorea to the island of Bora Bora, and they serve fresh pineapple juice on the flight! We had been told in advance to sit on the left side of the plane, and were rewarded with views like these:

Sure, it might collect a little dust over the years. Yes, it might get relegated to the back of the closet for a while. And you might not pull it out every time a new guest comes over. Still. Get an album. Here’s why I think you should…

No, this is not a post about THAT! (I’ll leave that to you Miss Cheese!)
What I’m talking about is a little tradition that started in my group of friends back in 2006 when my friend L got married. I arranged to steal the key to their hotel room and set Mr. Tiramisu up with the task of decorating it for them. He set up rose…

Photographer: Samantha Warren Weddings Cannot Recommend Highly Enough!
If you’ve been following along with any of my wedding recap posts, then you already know that I am very much in love with the photos taken by our amazing photographer, Sam. She gave us over twelve hundred photos that together tell the story of our wedding day beautifully. It’s hard to pick favorites, but I’d have to say…

I have gotten a lot of questions about our tent logistics. Hopefully these answers will be helpful to some of you! Having a “tent wedding” is a huge pain in the arse and I’d like to help anyone else trying to do it in any way I can!
Q: How many guests did you have under your tent? How was space under the tent?

Don’t worry, we sent (most of!) our thank yous out months ago. It’s just taken me this long to get around to sharing them with you.
On a great recommendation from Mrs. Eggplant, whose thank you cards I adored, I decided to go with PS Print for the printing. I designed the following layout in Photoshop, and easily uploaded it to their website:

During the final few songs that were played at our reception, I didn’t want to let go of my new husband. We kept asking each other, incredulously, “Did you have any idea how much FUN this was going to be!?”
I think in this photo we are screaming at each other the “BUM BUM BUUUUM” part of “Sweet Caroline”… you know, “good times never seemed so…

Okay, okay, I know this might make me unpopular, but we did (and loved) both a garter toss and a bouquet toss. We’re among the first of our friends to get married, and have a ton of younger cousins, so we had plenty of willing participants. What can I say, we like tradition.
With all the craziness of the storm/power outage, our timeline had been thrown…

Hello hive! Anybody remember me!? I’ve been loving all of the recaps lately, and thinking it’s about time I finished mine!
We left off with the power back on, the band keeping the dance floor packed, and the sun setting on our wedding day. With the night quickly drawing to a close, there were a few things we had to take care of.

Mr. Tiramisu and I attended our seventh- and last(!) wedding of 2008 this past weekend. We headed up to Philadelphia to celebrate the wedding of Mr. T’s cousin. After a beautiful ceremony at St. Timothy’s, the celebration moved downtown to the gorgeous Curtis Center. And let me just say, wow! What a beautiful venue. After an extravagant cocktail hour we moved into the Atrium for…

I left you hanging a little bit there after my last post with those crazy gaping-mouth pictures- sorry! But a lot of you figured out that the photos were those of a surprised bride receiving an awesome gift on her wedding night- electricity! That’s right, after nearly three hours of power-free celebrating, it…
