While I should be sleeping, instead I am blogging in bed in the early hours of 2008. I hope that everyone had a joyous and safe New Year celebration. Matt and I spent it with some old and new friends, both of which had Wii going all night. (This is probably the reason we’re friends.) [...]

Now that the holiday madness is over, it’s finally time to get back into planning our big day. Sure there is still New Year’s Eve to look forward to, but Matt and I will both be working that day (sad times!) since vacation time is very valuable. And while six months and six days seems [...]

I have been counting down the days to meet with our wedding photographer, Joel Flory. It’s not like I’ve never met him before, because he happens to be my cousin! Bridal magazines often talk about saving money by having a friend or relative take pictures, and often this is not looked at as a positive [...]

I’ve made a list and will be checking it way more than twice. This list is what must be done before our wedding. It’s eight pages long. It took me just about as many hours to compile. It was an emptying of the mind (Matt: You mean that little thing?) of anything and everything wedding [...]

An engagement is one of those few times where you have this explosively exciting announcement that you can’t wait to tell everyone you love. It was really easy for me to share it with my family, since they burst out of the double doors seconds after I said ”yes” to revel in the still-fresh excitement. Yet, there were still [...]

Wedding planning has been going along at about the same pace as wedding blogging. We’ve chosen the date, location, officiant and photographer thus far (more on that later). As the weeks pass by, I’ve been scouring the Internet for ideas and resources. I thought it might be helpful for any brides-to-be (or vicarious-brides-to-be!) to share [...]

I learned a lot about myself while going through the process of proposing. I knew she was the one for me, but how did I know? Was I 100% sure? They say you just “know” when the other person is the one of your dreams, the one for you, the person you are meant to [...]

It must take someone pretty perfect to pick out the perfect engagement ring. Matt read my wonky sign language to come up with a ring better than the ones I’d occasionally search for. Not that I searched … often. Its sparkle is really quite mesmerizing. It distracts me from work. With each key of the [...]

“The location determines so much. Like the dress, for instance. I don’t want to have a long dress get stained by grass and dirt.” “Why does that matter?” “It would ruin it.” “You’re only going to wear it once.” “Yes and I don’t want it to get dirty.” “You’re going to get grass stains on [...]
