As of today, I am three months out. Here's what I still need to do: Make my centerpieces Address the invitations Figure out ceremony details (vows, marriage certificates, etc.) Get the last 2...

HOLY CRAP!!!! Thank goodness it's a midseason finale and not the real one - we only have to wait 2 months instead of 5.

And it fit pretty well - but I felt too smooshed at the top and fat was where fat should never be. The David's Bridal lady said it was the bra I tried it on with, and that they don't have good bras...

So I'm sitting in my car, waiting for the rain to subside before I can run into the mall for flats. For those who are wearing flats, what color? I have champagne strappy shoes for the ceremony but...

Yay! I just got an email from David's Bridal that my dress is here! Unfortunately they are not open and I am hesitant to go tomorrow since it's in the Houston Galleria area - a nasty place to be on...

So I'm off the entire week, but with grading papers and writing a thesis, not so much. :-( BUT.... FH is also off the entire week - so I forced him to sit in his office and write his half of the...

My FH and the groomsmen are renting their tuxes, and it looks like Al's is the only one that carries the style he wants (grey cutaway with ascot). Anyone had any experiences with Al's or tuxedo...

Mine: To work on my brooch bouquet. And tomorrow I'm going dress shopping. Here's hoping the dress I like fits and looks good! What are you guys doing this weekend?

Who's doing some DIY? In an effort to avoid grading 90 exams and finishing chapter 1 of my thesis, I'm going to make some of the brooch flowers for my brooch bouquet. What about you ladies?

I found the box on my doorstep when I came home from work. I'm dying to open them, but I want to wait for FH to get home so we can look at them together. So excited! Not excited about the prospect of...

Just ordered my invitations. Next up: call David's Bridal to get an appointment for me and my bridesmaids, and schedule a date for our engagement pictures. BTW, since there's no groupon for VP, I...

What's left of my family is pretty sane. No one is bitching/griping/demanding. My BMs are awesome (sister and two best friends). What's left of FH's family is pretty sane (well, except for a crazy...

So, now that I've decided I want to make a brooch bouquet, I'm looking for brooches everywhere! JC Penney's has many on sale for under $10 - and I found a perfect coral one that matches my...

Hi fellow orphans! How's your planning going? I had a change of heart, and I'm glad I did. I had previously decided to buy and wear a bridesmaids dress instead of a wedding dress because I like color...

So I'm doing DIY. I recently checked our reception hall, and read that it has 40 tables - 20 round and 20 square. Oops. That's more than I thought. Of course some will be for the cake, presents, food,...

So the brooches I ordered for my brooch bouquet came in. They came with a warning - "This brooch is not intended for use by children under 14." Odd. 14 is so random.

Ok, I am now inspired to make one, after seeing so many beautiful pictures. I live in Houston, so someone mentioned the Harwin idea. I know about ebay. I also found a neat website. So my question...

This morning I didn't have it. Now I do!

I don't remember all of it, but at some point my wedding party (and some coworkers) were being chased around the city by dragons. We finally get to the reception place (a high school gym). My wedding...

So ever since I announced my engagement, my sister and a former student have made it their mission (it seems) to send as many pins as they can! :-) I must admit, though, they found some cute stuff I...
