Mrs. Bacon, Chicago Age and Occupation: 26, Digital Advertising Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, IT Client Services Engagement Date: June 17, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Ravenswood Billboard Factory About Me: I'm a Midwestern girl that can't seem to commit to staying in one place for too long and is constantly daydreaming about my next adventure. I am an aspiring foodie with a weak spot for the unusual and I love semi-reality food television. My other loves easily include laughing as a form of exercise, a book that I can't put down, summer baseball games, espresso with whipped cream, couch potato days and nights with the ridiculous Mr. Bacon, and our two kitties, Lincoln and Sawyer. We're planning a faux-destination wedding for 150 of our closest friends and family in the city we've both adopted as home that has a modern, yet whimsical twist and as many personal touches as we can manage.

That Feels Too Much Like Work

PowerPoints. Slideshows. Presentations.

Whatever you call them, they just seem a lot like what I do at work. So…instead of a super cute slideshow of adorable and embarrassing photos of the young Bacons growing up, we’re going to hang and frame photos of us as inspired by the one and only Martha Stewart.

Miss Oatmeal, Fresno, CA Age and Occupation: 25, Medical Device Sales Representative Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Police Officer/Captain in the US Army Engagement Date: February 16, 2010 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Private Residence, Fresno About Me: I am a toast-loving, list-making, occasionally crazy California girl getting dangerously close to marrying her crime-fighting, patient, man's man fiancé. I’ve never left our hometown of Clovis, CA, I love Anthropologie so much it almost hurts, appreciate promptness, love that our 4lb. Chihuahua, Murphy, smells like Fritos, am irritated by windshield wipers that move too fast for the amount of rain, love me some cold weather, have an unhealthy obsession with boots, and wholeheartedly think that my family is everything. Mr. Oatmeal is, oddly enough, my brother's best friend. He's also the best thing that's ever happened to me, and together we are planning a vintage chic, backyard, spring wedding with a few nontraditional touches while trying to keep up with our crazy lives.

The Gift

Today I have a treat for you. Well, really, it’s a treat for me and Mr. Oatmeal. OK, it’s just a treat for me.

On Christmas morning we were given a spectacular gift from my brother. I’d say that it was the best gift given in the Oatmeal household this Christmas, but I’d be lying. Mr. Oats and I gifted my brother a Shake Weight. Enough said, right?

Anyway, it was our wedding guestbook! Here I am opening said gift, and my brother is beaming with pride over his gift-giving abilities. (And yes, that is our little Murphy, in a hoodie.)

Oink! And Other Farm Sounds

Let me introduce you to a little company named MOO. I have recently become obsessed with them since discovering around the hive all the great things you can do with them. What are they, you ask? They are a printing company from England that prints high-quality photo cards at affordable prices! They have a number of sizes including the adorable mini MOO. Check out some of the cute projects that I’ve found online that have become inspirations for our own save the dates, invitations, and thank you cards!

Engagement Photo Sneak Peek!

December 15th, 2010 @ 9:10 am by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

Hive, we have our teaser engagement photos from our photographer! All photos in this post are by Fotograffika.

I haven’t talked too much about picking a photographer, but basically I made a bookmark folder and bookmarked anything that I found in town that I liked. I set up appointments with two of them, and we went. After that, Cinnamon Buns asked to see my bookmarks and made us appointments with a couple more. After our meeting with the Fotograffika duo, Cinnamon Buns and I walked back to the car, and as soon as our doors were closed, I said, “I want to be friends with them!” I like them both; they had actually just gotten engaged, so we talked weddings in general for a lot of our meeting, and I liked their photography.
