Activity for Chelle

I bought my dress over a year ago when I was in an engagement haze and now I hate it. Of course I waited until 5 months out to figure this out so now I'm screwed. Going shopping this afternoon at a different "off the rack" type store and I'm worried...

FH and I were talking this morning about how awesome it would be to have an Edward Scissorhands themed wedding. Topiaries shaped as different animals for the centerpieces, Ambrosia salad for dessert, scissors as wedding favors, guests with crazy...

Most of you know I've been having major wedding dress anxiety. My wedding is about 6 months away and I still don't think what I picked is "the one". I honestly see myself in a black wedding dress. I never ever wear white, I always wear black- and I...

Hey chickadees! Don't know if there's another insanity post floating around somewhere but I've been super busy so haven't been on the boards much. How's everybody feeling? I'm starting to really really get into insanity now. Yesterday was a rest day...

In 1 month my mom is hosting me a bridal shower, and after the party my MOH and I are going to a hotel spa and staying overnight! We're getting a couples massage, going swimming, eating pizza, drinking champagne, and watching all of the awesome 90s...

Last night I was talking to my Mom about wedding things and the subject of dessert came up. FH and I are having a make your own smores bar because we both absolutely HATE cake in all of it's forms. Mom thinks we need to have cake or cupcakes...

If you live in the Chicago area and haven't booked a photographer or wedding planner, you should definitely enter this contest that we won last year, the blog post about it is...

We're having a friend officiate our wedding and I'm looking for some sample scripts to give him to let him pull and piece together. He got ordained especially for us and has never performed a ceremony before, so we're looking for all the help we can...

This is a sappy post, but I can't help myself. Last night I kept having dreams that I was walking through a neighborhood but there were all these huge holes and cliffs everywhere and I kept losing my balance, and just as I was about to fall into a...

It's Friday and the weekend is so close I can almost taste the huge glass of wine I'm gonna have when I get home! I started grad school this week and on top of working full time and wedding planning, I'm beat! Staring at the clock and watching it...

While pinterest is an awesome planning tool, sometimes it makes me crazy! When I see pins that say things like "throw glitter instead of rice so your photos sparkle!" If I ever attend a wedding and people start chucking glitter into the sky, I'm...
