Mrs. Ballet Flat, New OrleansAge and Occupation: 24, Geographic Information Systems AnalystFiance's Age and Occupation: 26, IT AnalystEngagement Date: March 16, 2008Wedding Date: May, 2009Blogging Since: September 25, 2008Venue: St. Charles Borromeo Church/Jefferson-Orleans NorthAbout Me: I absolutely love wedding planning, spending time with Mr. Ballet Flat, various crafts, watching football, baking, pop music, bargain hunting and ice cream. My idea of a great date night is dinner and clearance shopping with Mr. Ballet Flat! I currently live below sea level in the suburbs near New Orleans, where I make maps all day, everyday for my job. I'm slowly becoming more and more obsessed with anything New Orleans related for our wedding, and I can't wait for the big day!

I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!
There are few things that make me feel more pampered then a nice meal out when I don’t have to worry about every penny going into it; and few gifts please me better than that of good food for free. Let’s be real - who doesn’t love eating out? But honestly, who wants to pay full price? Not this broke-ass!

When I do have to wear shoes, I prefer Mizunos, and have worn out a few pairs running marathons. I have a thing for chai, crossword puzzles, Apples to Apples, The Office and my real-life Yorkie, Bella. My West Coast transplant, Mr. Yorkie, roots for the Buckeyes, loves baseball, and climbs mountains for fun. We’re planning a fun little seaside wedding filled with handmade details and vintage charm.

You’ve heard bees rave about Gilt Groupe and its unbelievable sample sales for some time now. It’s where I scored my precious pink Kate Spade peep toes and where Mrs. Hot Cocoa found her incredible Badgley Mischka rehearsal dinner dress. Scanning the site’s sales is part of my daily routine!
Well, you can imagine my delight when the announcement of Gilt Fuse arrived in my e-mail…

I just got notice that Rue La La will be opening their KitchenAid boutique this Wednesday, July 15! Rue La La is similar to Gilt Groupe, but features brands that are a little bit more “accessible”. You’ll usually see discount boutiques of brands that are featured at department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s.

I can cook, sew, am a whiz at planning, terrible at delegating, and totally in love with my fiancé (who will be my second husband but first love of the rest of my life). For our home/ garden/ DIY wedding, we’ll be moonlighting as interior designers, home improvers, and gardeners with the help of our fabulous friends and neighbors. We can’t wait to be married, and are learning how fun getting married can be.
Hey, all. Remember me? I was the one who blogged about Twister and going to Brazil. And then y’all gave me your input on photo books because you’re so sweet. {And then I might have fallen on the face of the blog-earth because I haven’t gotten my recaps together. Yup, that’s me.}

I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
Whenever I have to buy something, I always check 2 sites to see if there are any good deals going around that I should know about. The first one is Slickdeals, and the second is Bargainist. Slickdeals is a place where savvy shoppers post coupon codes and other great steals they found online or got sent in emails. Sometimes things are free, but most of the…

Hey peeps, its time for another round of… save yo’ coin, woman!
Here’s what’s happening that you need to know:
1. Like my dress? My designer, Deborah Lindquist, is hosting a free spring fashion, beauty, and wellness event at Point du Vue salon in West Hollywood tonight. At the event, all of her spring, eco-chic fashions will be 50% off, plus there will be complimentary Point de Vue…
Mrs. Hot Cocoa, Boston/Los AngelesAge and Occupation: 31, JD/PhD StudentFiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Medical StudentEngagement Date: May 30, 2008Wedding Date: March, 2009Blogging Since: April, 2008Venue: Ritz Carlton, Marina Del ReyAbout Me:
I am a professional student by day and an amateur cupcake taster, bargain shopper, and wedding planner by night. I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip. When not procrastinating from my dissertation, I spend time catering to Jellyby, our overly anxious shih tzu, and getting to know Mr. Hot Cocoa. We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.
Just thought I’d pass along the info that One Kings Lane — the Gilt Groupe of home decor — is having a sale on Mindy Weiss’s line of wedding-related accessories. Everything looks to be between 50-75% off the retail price.
To tell you the truth, I’d never purchase any of these items for full price (what am I going to do with a “newlyweds” door mat?!).…
Mrs. Bunny, ColumbusAge and Occupation: 24, Associate Editor/ReporterFiance's Age and Occupation: 27, ReporterEngagement Date: September 23, 2008Wedding Date: July 2009Venue: Everal Barn, WestervilleAbout Me: Organized, but messy. I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts.
Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!
When Mr. Bunny and I got engaged back in September, the first thing I did (after calling friends and family to announce the news) was run to the grocery store to pick up a copy of that quarterly wedding planning bible, Martha Stewart Weddings.

I work full time for a Commercial General Contractor (aka my father) and I go to school for Interior Design at night. I love modern design, music, wine, crafting, DMailing, my family, my Westies, and of course, Mr Frenchie! Mr Frenchie and I met 3 years ago on Match.com and have been best friends ever since. I love his "old soul" and how he laughs with his whole body, among many other things. We are planning our summer wedding at the winery near his hometown, just 45 minutes south of Orange County.

So, I was at Michaels again last night. As always, I went with the intention of picking up just a couple of things and taking no more than 15 minutes. Needless to say, it never works out that way. There are just too many temptations!
Anyway, back to the reason for my post. After paying at the register (more than an hour after I got there),…
