Well, here’s a secret: that wasn’t really my secret.

You see, I have been holding on to the BIGGEST SECRET OF MY LIFE for the past three…

Way, way WAY back before I had even FOUND Weddingbee, not to mention had applied and then become Mrs. Corn… I headed to David’s Bridal in Harrisburg, PA on the Friday after Thanksgiving 2006 to try on wedding dresses with my mom and my sister.

It was an extremely overwhelming experience (as you will see from the expression on my face in most of these pictures).…

I know this is the information you have been waiting on bated breath for, so I won’t make you wait any further.Last year, we indulged in the most incredible chocolate bourbon wedding cake with white butter-cream frosting from Sin Desserts in Providence, RI. It was hands down, the best wedding cake on the planet. Believe me, I know there is a lot of potential that…

Today is our one year wedding anniversary. As is expected, I can hardly believe it has already been a year while at the same time, I feel like we have been married forever!

It was a bit difficult to get away this week, so we took a trip to Boothbay, Maine just before Labor day to celebrate our anniversary.

Hey there hive. Mr Corn and I are a month out from our one-year anniversary. As cliche as it sounds, it feels like the wedding was ages ago…yet I can’t believe it has almost been a year since the big day. I still have some posts in me that I think will be beneficial to the hive, so strap on your favorite summer sandals and…

It doesn’t surprise me that many people think that the whole ‘who gives this woman to this man’ part of the ceremony is antiquated and chauvinistic. But there are other alternatives.

Below is the wording from our ceremony supplemented by the choreography we worked out. Hopefully it will help someone out there…

Sorry to have gone missing for a bit there. I suffered from a complete hard drive failure, had to have a new one sent and have all of my files extracted by the fantastically smart, technology geeks I have as friends…which brings me to my #1 detail about wedding planning that I recommend (aside from relaxing and remembering what the real purpose of the whole…

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about our big day that I am very grateful for: we went a little overboard.

As many of you know, Mr Corn and I were married at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI. After the ceremony, we hosted an authentic New England clam bake. Considering how close we were to the water,…

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about our big day that I wish I had planned for a bit better: cake cutting logistics.

As you can see in the photos above, Mr Corn and I go from ‘Hey, let’s cut the cake’ to ‘hmmmm, how about this side’ to ‘fine, I’ll just jam the knife in’ to ‘for crying out loud, how…

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I am really glad I did: Instead of sequestering myself away while getting ready, I had lots of friends stop by. I opened the doors of the condo where I was getting ready and said ‘the more the merrier’.

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I wish I had done differently: I should have taken a moment to focus.

So this one is a small thing, but I hope it’s meaningful that I have made it my goal to share it with every bride I ever encounter…

When you think about it; your wedding day…

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I am very, very grateful for:I was able to work out a way for my dad to participate.

My father is a wonderful, amazing man. I am so incredibly fortunate to be loved by someone with such a big heart. As ridiculously sentimental as this sounds, two of…
