It's been exhausting but totally worth every minute of it. Ironically, I was never the type of person to want to get married but now that I'm engaged, I get giddy over anything that is wedding related! I'll try my best to give you all unique and practical ideas.

Vintage Photo Set

I found this vintage French wire photo scroll set on ebay. Very cute for reception tables or maybe even at the guestbook table. At $21.99/set, they’re a little pricey for me but maybe they will work for you!

Miss Broccoli, Maine Age and Occupation: 20-something, Cookie Monster Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Real Estate, soon to be student (again) Engagement Date: November 2005 Wedding Date: April 2007 Venue: Southern Maine About Me: I actually don't really love weddings (!) and I don't really like broccoli. Fortunately, I have learned that both are not so bad if you squint your eyes and hold your breath. When I'm not planning our 180-ish (90% family!) person wedding, I like to poke fun at Mr. Broccoli, read big books, and drink endless cups of tea.

I guess this might be something that you would hang in your apartment if your boyfriend were really, really slow.

I sure do love ebay…! Don’t you?

Ebay Is Your Friend

February 16th, 2007 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Strawberry

I had quite the shopping day yesterday on Ebay. I got some cute jars (that I don’t know what I’m going to do with), a bird cage, garland, a table cloth for the guest book table, and a galvanized tub. I didn’t get much work done yesterday at my J-O-B, but I feel quite accomplished nonetheless!

Veil Tales

February 6th, 2007 @ 2:27 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

This past weekend I got two things - a veil I ordered from Ebay, and a veil from my cousin Karen. The veil has always been my favorite wedding thing, which is good because I’m putting more effort into it than I did the dress! My very first ebay purchase was this veil, and it turned out to be more of a pain in the butt than I had hoped and expected.

Although the seller (veilsbylana) is in California, it still took me eight days to get the veil. When I did get it, it was crammed into my mailbox- even though I was there. After wrestling it out of the mailbox, and unfolding it, I realized the comb that was supposed to be attached was broken completely in half.

When I emailed the seller, I got no response. I waited another day and emailed again. After yet another day, I finally gave up and left negative feedback. Of course, this was answered with two emails - one stating, “If you are not happy, please contact me first (!!!), and don’t just leave neg. feedback.” The other email was from ebay- a mutual withdrawal form. So I ignored that email and responded to her, saying I never wanted to leave the feedback, but I emailed her twice. So she agreed to give me a refund, and that was that. Of course, it’s not showing in my account yet, so my refund is floating around somewhere. I honestly don’t know what to do about that. Has anyone else ever had trouble with ebay purchases?

Ebay Finds

Since getting engaged, I have become addicted to ebay. I find any excuse I can to buy something for the wedding. Things I don’t need like these buffet markers. Necessary? No. Not at all. I’m going to use them to denote cupcake flavors.
