Activity for Miss Michal

...New ducks keep showing up! My dad's GF, who was going to read the Prayers of the Faithful at the ceremony, had an outpatient procedure a week or so ago and isn't healing as quickly as she expected. I'm really grateful that she gave me as much time...

So five days out from the wedding, I'm finding myself with tons of great ideas that just didn't fit into the final product. For example, I wanted to use the angels above the altar at the Cathedral as part of my wedding invitations, but we ended up...

I think bold red lips would look just fabulous with my white dress and dark hair. How should I do my eye makeup to go with that?

Huh...32 days out and I find myself in need of a ceremony musician. I do actually know HOW it happened (we switched churches, and the "before" church took care of the ceremony music), but I'm kicking myself now for not even thinking about this fairly...

35 days from now, I'm going to marry the man of my dreams. It's a fairly low-key event that will make me the happiest girl in the world. So why does it feel like I'm preparing to invade Normandy? Ugh! The stress I'm experiencing is disproportionate...

I'm not a "theme wedding" sort of girl, but between my honey's love of horses and my hat fetish, we're thinking a Kentucky Derby wedding would just be the greatest thing ever! The first thing I've found is a great big hat to wear at the outdoor...

Hi all! I've been gone for quite a while, but I'm back on with a brand new wedding date. We never really got un-engaged, but we did cancel the wedding. I started getting sick in the middle of August, and by the last week of September I had a...

Event one: FH's job has ended, and with only two months left to pay for this wedding, we went into a bit of a panic. Event two: My brother's wife, whom he met in Kandahar during his deployment and married overseas a year ago, finally has a visa and...

Since my hair is super short, I've been thinking about wearing a hat for the big day. Not a birdcage/fascinator thing, but a real hat. Maybe like this one (only in white): http://www.ladydianehats.com/images/Leah.JPG or this one:...

It's the Friday after Catholic Engaged Encounter, the marriage prep retreat weekend, and I think FH and I have ALMOST recovered. We started calling it the Emotional Ironman a few hours in. There was a senior couple (married 44 years) and a junior...

I have had no luck finding flats yummy enough for the big day, but now I've found khussa! Khussa are intricately beaded slippers from India. Besides being to die for, they're really inexpensive--the pair I've linked to is $26! I'm considering...

So we're just having 20 people for the wedding, and I'm thinking a cake for that size group would just look...well, sad. There would be a 10" and a 7" layer. Would it be silly to up the size of the cake with a big dummy layer on the bottom? Have a...
