Mrs. Cardigan, Austin Age and Occupation: 21, Student/Soon-to-be Special Education Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 20, Student/Soon-to-be Accounting Systems Analyst Engagement Date: August 16, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2011 Venue: Vintage Villas About Me: I'm a native Austinite who was raised as a die-hard Aggie. Luckily, I'm a pretty persuasive girl because I managed to convince my high school boyfriend (now fiance!), Mr. Cardigan, to ditch his hardcore Longhorn ways and join me up at A&M, where we currently reside with our adorable dogs, Cullen & Ranger. We're currently planning a bright, cheery wedding with a ridiculous amount of DIY projects that I can't wait to tackle! I love crafting in any form, reading, and margaritas (I think I love them the most!). Organization is what keeps me sane and I love helping others, which is probably why I ended up as an education major. It gets a little chaotic sometimes when you're planning a wedding among all of the papers, projects, finals, and certification exams, but we're having the time of our lives and we can't wait to get started on our journey as husband and wife - and we're so excited to share our wedding with the hive!

Take My Sweater: The Morning of the Wedding

March 15th, 2011 @ 12:02 pm by Mrs. Cardigan

On the morning of our wedding my eyes popped open at about 7:00 and they were not interested in closing again. Sister Cardy and BM Audrey were still asleep, so I quietly grabbed my laptop and settled in to write my last post as a “Miss” bee. I tried to force myself to relax in bed, but the excitement had hit me and it wasn’t going anywhere.

I wandered around the suite for a while, trying not to wake anyone else up (I mean, just because I was freaking out doesn’t mean they needed to suffer too!) and I tried to stop myself from breaking out into a dance and screaming at the top of my lungs.

I was just a little bit excited.

Finally, after what seemed like hours (but was probably only about 20 minutes), my bridesmaids woke up and we all started to get ready for the day. We headed out and grabbed some breakfast at a local bakery, then came back to the hotel to wait for the hairstylist to arrive.

Now, you might be asking yourself ”What was Mr. Cardigan doing during this time?” (You probably aren’t asking yourself that, but you might be. Just go with it.)

Well. Let me tell you what he was doing.

Newport Nuptials: Let’s Rehearse!

January 14th, 2011 @ 1:43 pm by Mrs. Starfish

The night of our rehearsal, I was a ball of nerves. All I could think about was the upcoming day. Especially the fact that people were going to stare at me. It made me a nervous wreck.

Before we started to rehearse, we had to go in and meet with the site’s (St. Lucy’s) coordinator, Barbara. We went over names and readings. Then it was time to call in our Maid of Honor and Best Man. They were our witnesses and it was time to sign the marriage license. Once the legalities were finished it was time to rehearse.

One of the things I really loved about our church was the short length of the aisle.

Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Love, Unwrapped: First Look!

July 6th, 2010 @ 7:15 pm by Mrs. Taffy

Seeing Mr. Taffy for the first time on May 30th was one of the happiest moments of our wedding day. I was so excited to meet him on the front steps of our venue that our bridal party and DOC could barely keep me inside! The morning rain had cleared and the sky was absolutely beautiful—blue and sunny.

Our wonderful photographer captured an excited and somewhat nervous Mr. Taffy waiting…
