After the obligatory group shots, it was time for the obligatory couple shots. This one is my favorite coz you can’t make out my face:

You see, I HATE having my picture taken. I’d like to say I look awkward in pictures, but…

This past weekend over dinner with BIL GT (aka our officiant), I confronted him about the biggest mistake he made at our wedding…

MOH and Flirty Bridesmaid left with two extra-special packages to give to Mr. Pomegranate as a wedding day gift. The first of which was a super-secret surprise I had kept hush-hush for many months: a special boudoir shoot. The fabulous Sarah Maren and I holed-up in a chic little room at my favorite midtown bed and breakfast, The Inn at Parkside. Each room has a…

My typically blonde, long haired SIL, Ann, went into a salon a few weeks ago looking for a change.  Now that she’s quit the workforce and has headed back to school to get her doctorate, she doesn’t feel like spending her loan money on keeping up with her roots.  She thought that going a honey brown color instead would be her answer.  Because she’s in…

I panicked a little, as our room had gotten pretty messy from our post-rehearsal partying. Thankfully, Crafty Bridesmaid and the other girls helped me sweep through the room and get it all ready for the chaos that was about to begin.

Mr. & Mrs.!

I love this 3-photo series, captioned is our actual conversation at that moment:

The night before the wedding was certainly a fun one. I hope I never forget it—my girls and I had such a fun time hanging out together and bonding. We had headed back to Cache Creek Casino and Resort while Mr. Pomegranate drove back to Sacramento to take care of a few things and wait around for Groomsman Peter to arrive at the airport. Some of…

When the ceremony began, I was taken aback by BIL GT’s projection with his theater trained voice. I reacted with an audible whisper, “WOW he’s LOUD!” which cracked both boys up a bit, but BIL GT kept composure and did an amazing job.

We finished up at the spa, hopped into our respective cars and drove up to the hotel. We quickly checked-in, freshened up and changed. I put on my Ralph Lauren black and white striped dress - but my boobies were NOT going to fill it out. I had to improvise by taking my black wrap and tying it in front to not only cover up…

Hello again! I’m so sorry to have been away for so long! Married life has swept me off of my feet and I landed running. Then came the holidays and then came the common cold. I’m starting to recover—and I’m utilizing this time to catch up on my tasks at hand—namely, our wedding recap!

To be honest, it hasn’t slowed down since the week before the…

The brothers, guy I married and guy who married us, are quite close. Apparently they were giggling about matching up the left foot-right foot march down the aisle right before these pictures. Proof that marriage and maturity don’t always go hand in hand.

After a wedding and the holidays, we often find ourselves with a collection of gift cards. Gift card holders are often made of cardstock with nifty graphic effects and textures, and they always seem to carry so much recycle potential. Today, I made these out of some Starbucks gift card holders with a fuzzy textured print:
