I'm back! I know all everyone wants to see are the pictures, but I wanted to do a quick BAM with a few pics and advice before I get my pro pics back. I know you all have heard most of the advice...
I'm getting mother. effing. married today. I only got maybe a solid 3 hours if sleep. I kept getting up and thinking everything through and finally an hour ago I was like screw it I'm awake now....
I am a total wreck right now. There's no way I can concentrate at work. My youngest dog, Buffy, has a few birth defects and we always assumed she had bad hips. Over the weekend she was in a lot of...
Ugh. So I had my first dress fitting on Monday (yay!) but looking at the pictures my mom took of my bustle, I've noticed the dreaded back cleavage. It's a low-ish-back dress, so my seamstress told me...
My BM's were absolutely fantastic and placed their dress order with time to spare. But the store just called me. Apparently the dress I chose (Donna Morgan Blair) doesn't come in plus sizes, and one...
I'm really lucky that the church where we're getting married has some amazing musicians. My uncle (the priest there) worked hard to secure what he calls the "A-Team"--the best musicians. I've heard...
The seamstress at my dress store informed me that a hem for my dress would be in the $300-$400 range. I'm 5'8, so if I wear heels that are about 2 3/4 to 3 inches, I won't need a hem....
So I know they're technically totally unnecessary, but I am really excited about sending out our save the dates! What do you all think? I just got the proof back from the Etsy store so I'd love your...
Next on my to do list is BM dresses. I'm trying really hard to be conscious of my girls' budgets, because many of them are traveling and several are still students. I definitely need to stay under...
FH & I did our engagement session with our wedding photographer in Detroit last weekend, and she already has them up on her website!! We had done another e-pic session in his hometown in Nebraska that...
So I tried on dresses for the first time today. I really thought I was going to go with an all lace fit & flare or mermaid style, but I wanted to try on all styles to just see. I was adamant I didn't...
So I'm getting married next June in Michigan (my hometown), but FH and I currently live in Nebraska. I'm going back to MI in a few weeks to visit family and my mom wants to go dress shopping (she's...
Hey all--my wedding is (almost) 1 year away and it is finally starting to feel real. Our photographer's package includes e-pics, but we're planning from out of town and won't be back in Detroit in...
Hey all! So one of my best friends from grad school is getting married on Friday in a small courthouse ceremony with just their parents present. They're not registered anywhere, but I still want to...
FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!! Somewhere in my wine-fueled ramblings this weekend, I got my fifth star! I've been around awhile but I only post sporadically so I thought it would never happen. So where's my...
I know it's super early to book a photographer for my 2015 wedding, but a woman I casually knew growing up is running a 20% of deal. The cost will be $1450 for 9 hours of photography, 2...
So because my mom lives in Detroit, FI and I in Lincoln, and FILs a few hours north in Nebraska, the parents have never met. Until today. Momma is in town visiting and FILs are coming down here. In an...
Soooo I'm such a great and talented volleyball player that I decided to try to block a 6'3 guy the other day in a sand game. And the ball landed on top of my fingers on my left hand. Guess I won't be...
My wedding is still 2 years away, but I was home in Michigan last week and checked out venues. I found one that's absolutely perfect--will fit in my budget, large enough for our 300 (and growing)...
So I'm in my best friend from high school's wedding in July. I'm halfway across the country, so I will not be able to make either of her bridal showers (the bride is totally okay with this--she told...
