Miss Mary Jane, Grand Forks, ND
Age and Occupation: 26, Instructional Designer
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Lead Programmer
Engagement Date: February 28, 2009
Wedding Date: September 2009
Venue: City Hall
About Me: I'm a career woman on the surface and a homemaker at heart. I love fast cars and high heels, and my favorite food is cake. Mr. Mary Jane and I are both full-time employees and students, and we just bought our first house. We love to curl up on the couch with buttery popcorn, Sour Patch Kids, and the latest Netflix arrival -- whenever we can get a break from everyday life.
Remember when the Champagnes accidentally went to the jail for their marriage license? Well if they’d been marrying in Grand Forks, they’d have been in the right place.
When I was writing my Bee Budgets post, I decided to call the Grand Forks County Courthouse to ask about any fees for having a ceremony there. I looked up the marriage license information online and called the “For More Information” number.
The gal on the line told me that the courthouse “doesn’t marry people. You marry at the jail.”
Okay… wow.

I resisted the urge to hang up and cry, and wrote down the number for the jail.

Miss Mouse, Austin
Age and Occupation: 25, Attorney
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Civil Engineer
Engagement Date: December 19, 2007
Wedding Date: September 2009
Venue: Barr Mansion
About Me: I just graduated from law school and will be taking the bar, getting married, going on a honeymoon with my guy, and then trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
The Dude and I took our engagement pictures a couple weeks ago with our wedding photographers, the Nichols. They’re a husband + wife team based here in Austin, and they are amazing! When we told them we wanted a vintage-inspired shoot, they were right on board. Jennifer emailed me asking if I had anything in mind for the shoot, and I told her there was this old car junkyard that we had walked past one day and were curious about. I thought it was a long shot, but she loved the idea, and it actually ended up working out!

I’m having a blast planning our elegant/dramatic/New York City/acting-themed/largely-DIY wedding and am thrilled to be the youngest current Miss Blogger!

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Dental Student
Engagement Date: October 19, 2006
Wedding Date: April, 2009
Venue: The Grand Old House, Grand Cayman
About Me: In 2009 I will get married (after a two and a half year engagement!), become an Army wife, graduate from law school, take the bar, move from Austin to Washington, D.C., and start my career as a lawyer! With all this going on, Mr. Kitten and I decided to have a tropical, "stress-free" destination wedding. Nevertheless, my micromanaging, detail-oriented, perfectionist side has prevailed---I am currently obsessed with every last detail of my "stress-free" destination wedding! But most of all, I'm beyond excited to become Mrs. Kitten on a fabulous Caribbean vacation surrounded by my friends and family!

I know, I know! I’ve been a little absent lately! Life has definitely gotten in the way of my blogging. Since my last post about our wedding movie preview I have finished up my spring semester classes, gone on a fabulous two-week honeymoon to Italy, graduated from law school, moved to a new city with my husband, and hit the ground running preparing for the bar exam (all the while writing lots and lots of thank you notes)! Whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about it all!
Anyway, back to wedding-related topics! Last week I received my DVD of wedding photos from our photographers The Nichols and I am SO excited to share them with you!

Mrs. Deviled Egg, Pittsburgh
Age and Occupation: 27, Public Relations
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Accounting
Engagement Date: December 24, 2007
Wedding Date: May, 2009
Blogging Since: October 21, 2008
Venue: Historic auditorium and meeting hall in one of Pittsburgh's commuter cities
About Me: I am obsessed with all things crafty, especially scrapbooking, knitting, jewelry-making & cake decorating. I also love being an aunt, wrapping presents, watching football (Go Steelers!), shopping at yard sales and consignment stores, procrastinating, singing and learning to play the guitar. When it comes to wedding planning, I'm excited about working on DIY projects and finding creative ways to stay under budget. Of course, nothing is more exciting to me than knowing that the wonderful Mr. Deviled Egg will be my husband.
The weekend before our wedding, Mr. Deviled Egg and I were roped into having bachelor and bachelorette parties. Mr. DE joined the guys at Dave & Buster’s for dinner and games followed by a trip to a couple of places where photography was prohibited. I, on the other hand, was able to capture most of my evening, in all of its embarrassing glory, in photos.
First up, we (my bridesmaids, a college friend, my FSIL and my mom) met up at a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh to prep for the evening. I was gifted with a few accessories and then we all piled into the hotel’s courtesy shuttle for a ride to the Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square for dinner.
While waiting for our food, I was given some more gifts.
A nice light-up sash and big bling ring to accompany my hot pink boa and plastic tiara

Miss Stiletto, Chicago
Age and Occupation: 26, Non-Profit/Fundraising
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Engineer and Photographer
Engagement Date: March 2, 2008
Wedding Date: September 2009
Venue: The 19th Century Club
About Me: My fiance and I love living in the city of Chicago with our cats Basil and Linus, and vow to never move to the suburbs if we can possibly avoid it! We’ve poured ourselves into planning a wedding that reflects our personal style - modern and high contrast with a vintage twist. Blogging keeps me creative, baking keeps me happy, and grande nonfat no foam sugar free vanilla lattes keep me sane.
Mr. S and I enjoyed a fabulous long weekend in San Francisco… he needed to travel there to shoot an engagement session with an absolutely fabulous couple, and I simply tagged along and we made a long weekend out of it (and I got to play photographer’s assistant around SF’s fun Mission neighborhood, ending with a super tasty “Mission Burrito”). Miss Peep Toe’s “Honeymoon in my Hometown” post was great inspiration as we planned our trip!
However, in the midst of our mini-vacation loveliness, my dreams were filled with wedding doom… duh, duh, DUH.

Over the course of one night, I had two frustrating dreams, one after the other.

Miss French Bulldog, Orange County
Age and Occupation: 28, Administrative Assistant & Interior Design Student
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Purchasing Analyst
Engagement Date: November 8, 2008
Wedding Date: August 2009
Venue: Bernardo Winery
About Me: I've lived in Atlanta, Dallas and Laguna Niguel; although I've lived in Orange County, CA most my life, I'm a Southerner at heart. I work full time for a Commercial General Contractor (aka my father) and I go to school for Interior Design at night. I love modern design, music, wine, crafting, DMailing, my family, my Westies, and of course, Mr Frenchie! Mr Frenchie and I met 3 years ago on Match.com and have been best friends ever since. I love his "old soul" and how he laughs with his whole body, among many other things. We are planning our summer wedding at the winery near his hometown, just 45 minutes south of Orange County.
Two weekends ago my fantastic bridesmaids threw me the cutest shower ever! I may be a tad bit biased, but I’m sure once you get a look below you’ll believe it ranks pretty high up there.
BM F hosted the shower at her parents’ beautiful beach house and we could not have hoped for better weather.
Isn’t the view from their house to DIE for? It is the stuff postcards are made of!

Miss Cub, Chile/Portland
Age and Occupation: 26, Astronomer
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Astronomer
Engagement Date: May 10, 2008
Wedding Date: September 2009
Venue: Westwind YWCA camp
About Me: I'm a small-town girl who's making a living in Chile, with her heart in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in Southern California, went to high school in Texas, grad school in New Mexico, and now I can't wait to settle down in Oregon! I love pears, hazelnuts,
knitting, traveling, running, baking, and long talks on the phone with
good friends. I'm planning my Oregon coast summer camp wedding while
abroad with my best friend - I'm always at home when I'm with him!
I’m not as obsessed with shoes as Kelly is, but I’m definitely particular. Most strappy heels don’t really appeal to me, and 90% of the time you’ll find me on the streets in some mod ballet flats.
When I bought my dress last year, I had a month to buy my wedding shoes for my fitting (I had to finish my alterations before the move!). That meant I had to get some shoes, and I had to get them fast. Luckily, J.Crew is always there to help a sistah out. Even luckier - her ugly stepchild eBay is always willing to cut you a black market shoe deal!
I’m short (a whopping 5’2″), and the Mr. is nearly 6’, so I definitely needed a shoe with a heel. The J.Crew Hadley d’orsays were simple and effective - just what I needed! And at a steal on eBay (even less than this listing!), I considered my shoe case closed.

A girl is never “done” with buying shoes. No. It just doesn’t happen.
