I was drooling over Mrs. Penguin’s runway coverage of Kirstie Kelly for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings, and now I’m ogling over these rings designed by Mouawad for Kirstie Kelly for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings.

I am so excited to start my recaps. I think this will be really fun. I am also going to continue to post projects and if you see something that you want to see more of, just let me know!!
How did I choose “It’s Time” as a theme for the recaps? If any of you are Steel Magnolias fans, you will remember the part just before Shelby (Julia Roberts) walks down the aisle and says, “Daddy, it’s time.” He asks, “What?” and she repeats, “It’s time.” Then he says, “Oh… IT’S TIME.”
I love that part!

Who in the relationship is frugal and who is spendy? How does it affect your relationship?
Mrs. Deviled Egg - I am the more frugal one in the relationship. Not that Mr. DE is a big spender, but I am the one more likely to purchase the lesser-priced version of stuff we buy often. And, I am the coupon queen, so I cringe when he buys stuff like toothpaste and deodorant without using one. (You can totally get that stuff super cheap or FREE by combining coupons and sales! I stock up when I can.) I’m usually OK with checking out consignment shops for clothing and accessories, but he’s more likely to head to the department store for his wardrobe. Of course, I always make sure to bring along any necessary coupons! Overall, I’m glad that both of us have a good understanding of where we stand financially and are able to evaluate purchases without going overboard or piling on any debt.

… perhaps a perfect little silk hankie that says “Will you be my bridesmaid?”
My maids are all over the country—Denver, Seattle, Indiana, Illinois… there aren’t 2 maids in the same city out of the five of them and only one I actually see day to day. I wish I could have asked each of them in person, but I did the next best thing—Isent them a personalized invitation to stand up with me at our wedding.
I love Etsy and have been loving it for a lonnnng time. Call it inspiration central!
In my case, it was “Need ideas for bridesmaids invitations?” Done!

I search on “Bridesmaid Invitation”. POOF! There appeared the puuuuurfect gift for my girls.
I change my mind a lot. Case in point: the bridesmaid’s dress. My girls couldn’t keep up with my emails regarding the dresses, since I kept finding new ones I liked. We decided to look for a chiffon fabric rather than a satin, since I felt it was keeping with the casual, country theme of the wedding. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of bridesmaid’s dresses in general and was hoping to avoid the standard, strapless satin dress. I also really wanted to keep the price reasonable, which I discussed with all the girls beforehand, so everyone was comfortable with the budget.
So, into the wild hinterlands of the wonderful online world of bridesmaid’s dresses I went. Here are a few that I liked after some initial research (most of the websites I was looking at won’t show the dress in another color, so you’ll have to use your imagination and picture them all in a cornflower or sky blue).
This Jenny Yoo dress is cute and I liked the sash, but alas, it was too expensive.
That’s our venue. Our beautiful, beautiful venue. Gone.
At this point, I feel silly being so sad because it is just a venue, but I am sad. Really sad.

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
After we left Cairns, we headed south to Brisbane aboard the Sunlander Trans-Queensland train. We wanted to see more of the Australian landscape but knew we didn’t have time to do any driving ourselves so we boarded the train for a 24-hour trip.

It seems like a long time to spend on a train, but the journey was actually really enjoyable. We packed provisions (lunch, some dinner and breakfast), a few good books and kicked our feet up.

*Warning- Super Duper Photo Heavy*
Before I discovered makeup and the joys of being behind the lens, I used to model. Along the way, I met a few really great photographers who also became friends. About two years ago (way before Mr. R and I were engaged), one of said photographer friends called in a favor. Apparently he was putting together a shoot-out/seminar for about 20 of his closest photographer friends, and was wondering if I’d come down and model for them. Well, duh.
About a week before, he told me that their only male model had pulled out of the shoot and was wondering if Mr. Rainbow would be willing to stand in. I asked Mr. Rainbow (who is more than a little shy when it comes to things like this) and after a bit of begging and pleading, he said yes! After some grueling Tyra-style model boot-camp (I kid) Mr. Rainbow and I were ready to get our Zoolander on. What commenced will forever be my favorite photos on the planet, and what we now consider our “ungagement photos”. With pictures this amazing, we didn’t see the need for an actual engagement shoot. Have a look see, why don’t ya:
So, since I’m starting to get RSVPs back… this means I can finally reveal our invitations to the hive!!! Hooray! Yes, our babies have all left home…
To start with, we HAD to have letterpress. We made sure we budgeted enough for this - and when our budget looked a little tight, Mr. Ramen told me to just go for it, since it’s the one paper thing I’ve been dying to have since - well, forever. I am quite obsessed with paper. I have saved every single wedding invitation that I’ve received, even if I don’t like it. HAH! I like the look of paper, the touch of it, the smell of it. Letterpress ink has this mechanical smell which I LOOOOVE. And I’m totally keeping a set of our invites just for touching. MMM! Delicious texture - and that Crane Lettra paper?!?!? To die for!
