Wedding Blog

I feel like I’ve been away for a century! Well, I’m back now and have soooo much to share! We had a wonderful, laid back kind of wedding. I really wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was great; the weather was wonderful, there were no major mishaps, and no ugly cry. I have much to share with you: final preps before the wedding,…

I have ADD-ish tendencies. For instance, I have four postings in draft status, all partially written. Co-workers often complain about my inability to stick to one subject, and claim they’ve felt symptoms of vertigo when I present virtual meetings and alt-tab between five windows at lightning speed.

Wedding planning is no exception. I wish I could tackle tasks in a chronological order, but there’s no rhyme…

Mr. Sushi,

In only a few hours we will be legally bonded together… forever. I can’t believe that after ALL our ups and downs over the last 3 and a half years, life has brought us to this path. I love it. I love you. And I’m excited to start a new chapter in my life, with you in it. I know that with everything we’ve…

Find all those dress disaster pictures you’ve chosen to ‘untag’ in Facebook, and upload them to the Amsale website for a chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree at the flagship store in New York! I know I have pictures from back in the day that I plan to sift through tonight. Good luck!

Mr P and I engaged in a think tank session this past weekend, brainstorming ideas for our invitations. How it works: I compile boatloads of pictures from the internet, and shove them in his face. He likes it. He’d rather me whittle down the choices to a select few, and contribute his two cents at the end.

All of the imagery below, I pulled from Flickr.…

First, I want to apologize for not being an avid bee lately. It really is true when they say that the time goes by fast. Before I knew it we were in the 30-day stretch and still had TONS to do, and not much time to blog about it. But don’t worry, I did make time to record it with my handy digital camera. You’ll…

What to do, what to do.  I’ve been in two weddings and had my makeup done for each.  I have the crease-less Asian eyes with microscopic eyelashes.  What throws some makeup people off is the downward slope of my eyes when I smile.  They usually apply heavy eyeshadow toward the outer edges to achieve the upward illusion.  In most cases, it’s a tough sell for…

A couple weekends ago, my friend Jean asked our e-Photo photog extraordinaire, Inhar, to shoot some pictures of her and her friends. She was moving across the coast and wanted a keepsake photograph of her friends together. Selecting a location was easy. She wanted someplace representative of the east coast, and what better location than Washington DC?! So off we went on a friiiiiiiigid Saturday…

Yeeeup, another cupcake bride. In order to avoid the per person cake cutting fee, we opted for wedding cuppity cakes. We’re going with a tiffany blue-ish/canary theme for our wedding, and cannot decide between the two for our cupcakes. I’m not a huge fan of frosting, so all of the inspirational cupcake photos were selected for that reason. Each of the designs would be customized…

HOJO was my date this entire weekend as we roamed around DC looking for wedding inspiration. First stop: the opening reception of the Design S exhibition. The exhibit showcased the nominees for the Swedish Design award, all of which focused on the importance of design for functions, communications, and business. Fun fun fun fun fun.

After a couple glasses of wine, I decided this was my…

Talk about procrastination. It’s less than a week before we leave for Hawaii, and only NOW did we get Mr. Sushi’s suit tailored. Better late than never. It was actually a good thing we waited because Mr. Sushi has been in training mode, and managed to gain over 20 pounds of muscle in 7 months. That determination and dedication, I do not have when it comes to…

Phew! Things have been pretty hectic lately.

By this time next week, Mr. Sushi and I will be relaxing (hopefully!) in Hawaii before the days leading up to our wedding. The last two weeks I’ve been confirming timelines, re-confirming vendors, finishing up small projects and basically trying to get organized. I’ve been running around like a headless chicken!

One of the smaller projects I’ve been working on are…

Fly fly away! We dropped our Save the Dates in the mail today. It’s quite a feeling of accomplishment to finish a craft project. I’ve been known to have problems following through on projects of this nature, but nevertheless, we done yo! I feel like I’ve beaten a dead horse as far as sharing our experience, but I have to close the loop and show…

I love me some eggs in the morning. More specifically, my favorite is eggs with rice, ketchup, and kimchi (spicy Korean cabbage). This morning, there were two yolks in one of the eggs.

Work expands to fill the time allotted to it. So true. So me. Rather than work on our save the dates, I watched the Making of the Band Damaged Special one… two… maybe three times. Despite setting up our workspace a couple hours prior, I was too intimidated by the Gocco to start on anything. Anyhow, it just takes me a bit to get up…
