It was that point in the evening when the reception was drawing to a close. Most of the older folks had retired for the evening, leaving us young’uns to our shenanigans and debauchery. After all, the night was still young at 10 o’clock, and we had a food and beverage minimum we had yet to meet, dang it!

When I last left off on our recaps, my bridesmaids were using safety pins to feverishly repair the gaping hole that Mr. Cookie had accidentally made by stepping on my dress. Unfortunately, by the time my dress was back in working order, the conga line had dissipated. However, it was that time in the evening for the ol’ garter and bouquet toss.

Seriously, don’t leave for your wedding without safety pins in your emergency kit!
Okay, where was I. Oh yes, Mr. Cookie’s foot had just made contact with my train. I heard a ripping sound, and I was quickly whisked away from the dance floor by my bridesmaids. Man, did my bridesmaids have quick reaction skills!
Once we reached the bridal chamber, my bridesmaids grabbed the bag of…

After the Father/Daughter dance our DJ didn’t miss a beat. He popped in “Shout” by the Isley Brothers and our guests flooded the dance floor. Now that the formalities of the day were over, everyone was ready to let loose, take off the formal wear, kick off the heels, throw their hands up, and D-A-N-C-E!

My dad is the first one to admit it, but he’s an old fart. He doesn’t look it, but he’s hovering around his mid-60s and has the energy of a 20-something-year-old. He’s also a part of a generation of men that knows how to dance. My pops has some mad jitterbugging skills. Unlike my first dance with Mr. Cookie, dad and I never practiced our…

After we wiped the chocolate cake goodness from our faces, it was time to take the dance floor for our first dance…
As silly as it sounds, Mr. Cookie and I are together today because he asked me to dance. Yep, our relationship started out old-school movie style. A confident and debonair Cookie spots a cute, single Cookie from across the room at a wedding, asks…

After our brush with near cake catastrophe, I was just happy we had cake. Not that not having a cake would have been a catastrophe. I would have married Mr. Cookie without cake, but the icing on the cake—so to speak—was that we were able to participate in the age ol’ tradition of cake smashing. Yes, this perfectly beautiful cake ended up all over both…

For me, DIYing the wedding details was a labor of love. I had three rules regarding the details: 1. Keep it simple 2. DIY as much as possible to save money, but call in the professionals or enlist help when necessary 3. Keep within the theme: Rustic Elegance.
These rule saved my sanity on several occasions, especially the part about enlisting help. But I am not going to…

Even though the alone time together before dinner was a wonderful pause to the day, Mr. Cookie and I were starving! I guess hiking up the mountain for wedding portraits burned more calories than we anticipated, and chowing down on appetizers wasn’t enough. So, we cut our “us” time short in order to appease our rumbling stomachs. A quick nod to the DJ and”Givin’ It…

At this time, I had hoped to be in the midst of finishing our wedding recaps. My apologies for my absence lately, but yesterday my Grandmother passed away.
Last Wednesday, I received news that my grandmother was losing her battle with cancer. Thanks to some frequent flyer miles, I was able to jump on a plane to Montana and say my good-byes. Her last few days…

Immediately following the ceremony, Mr. Cookie and I got stuck in an elevator. Well, sort of. There is an elevator from the lower to the upper floor of Ten Mile Station. We were suppose to go downstairs to quickly sign the marriage license and then back upstairs for pictures. Well, Mr. Cookie and I were all kissy face inside the elevator after the ceremony and…
