I haven't posted in forever, between work and the wedding I have very little time. But I wanted to stop in and see how the other June 25th ladies were doing. What do you still have left to do? I have to put my programs together this week, and have...

I am looking at some cocktail ideas for my signature cocktail. This is probably my favourite so far, but I'd replace the gin with vodka. Cocktail: Blue Diamond Recipe: * 1 oz Creme De Violette * 1/4 oz Bols Blue Curacao * 1/2 oz Hendrick's Gin * 1...

I asked him a few months back to pick out a song for our father daughter dance. He finally has, and this is his email to me: " Been thinking about father daughter song. It just has to be a British singer/band and has to be something I can relate to....

My bridal shower is this weekend. I had this great plan to get custom etched wine glasses for each of my hostess. I bought these cute boxes for them to go in. Well.. the first time the lady from Etsy tried to send them to me, my address was wrong, so...

We asked my FSIL to do a reading at our ceremony, then we had to find one we liked. We've decided on THE ART OF MARRIAGE, Author Wilferd A. Peterson The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to...

FS just called to ask me "what time will you be back from the little thing with the women" Seriously... did he just jump back a few decades? I am going to a bridal show tomorrow with some friends. He doesn't normally say things like that, it actually...
