Oh Happy Day: Getting Ready

———————————————————
When I last left you, I was patiently waiting for my groom to arrive. In Chinese culture, it is customary for the groom to pick up his bride from her parents’ house. Unfortunately for the groom, before he can get to the bride, he must make it past the bridesmaids!

Looks like the groom, and his band…

I am.

I haven’t had hair this short since I was 10 years old. It could take some getting used to… :)Anyone else planning on doing the post-wedding chop?

With all the stuff we were trying to pack in on one day, it meant that the Toucan Wedding Day had to start REALLY EARLY… like hair-and-makeup-was-there-at-7:30am kind of early.

The Toucan Always Forgets!

July 31st, 2008 @ 12:15 pm by Mrs. Toucan

After almost 2 months of married bliss, Mr. Toucan is still not used to wearing his wedding ring! I pretend to get mad, and jokingly say he’s “trying to look like a single guy” again! His reaction is so cute, though. He gets pretty upset with himself for forgetting! So, the past week, after he forgot to wear his ring 3 of the 4 days,…

Italian Eats!

July 28th, 2008 @ 2:24 pm by Mrs. Toucan

I’ve had a few inquiries about where we ate in Italy, so I decided to write a post ALL about FOOD. Yum! Unfortunately, the number of pictures representing each restaurant here is not an indicator of how good the food is - most likely, it’s only an indicator of how much wine we drank before our food came or how hungry we were when it…

Around mid-March, I decided to help Mr. Toucan out. My favorite t-shirt store, Threadless was having a “Spring Cleaning Sale,” and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy one of…

Gifts for the Ladies

I thought about gifts for my girls months and months before our wedding. I knew I wanted to get some kind of fun bag and stuff it full of goodies. So, when I got an email last fall about a Vera Bradley sample sale in Atlanta, I jumped. Why was I so excited about a sale 1,000 miles away? Because Sister Toucan was in school…
