Activity for Allison

My FIL kept us up all night with drama (kinda wedding / travel related) - last I knew his sister was drunk and lost in the NYC subway system. I went to bed. You're an adult, you deal with it. We had mentioned that was a bad idea... His father (who...

The girls threw me an awesome bachelorette party this past weekend! We all went down to the casinos in CT (Mohegan Sun!) had an amazing dinner, caught a roof top cover band concert, went dancing, and hung out at the hotel pool most of the next day....

I feel a little like the big birthday got a little lost in the last minute wedding-school finals-crazy of it all, but YAY 30! This will be the year I get MARRIED! *SQUEE*

The "Grand entrance" you walk in holding / shaking your bouquet to the reception. Then you swing into your first dance immediately, the music is playing, its wonderful. Where the heck did the flowers get off the train in this equation?

We're thinking about rescuing a dog, and I have been worrying we are being irresponsible by considering it. The dog would be home for about 8 hours alone, confined to two (large) dog proofed rooms, with a doggie door to a fenced in yard. Short term,...

My wedding is on a Sunday. I have been a bridesmaid on a Sunday, and the bride insisted we have our hair done professionally. At our own expense. For a 2 pm ceremony. Have you ever tried to find an open salon on a Sunday morning? Luckily, I worked in...

Our Justice of the Peace is a family friend who is marrying us free of charge (normally there is a fee) as our wedding gift. She was invited to the wedding either way, and offered as soon as she found out she was re-elected long enough to cover our...

We've gotten about a quarter of our guest list RSVPs back - and not a single decline. Not a one. There are some people we "know" are not coming (and have known since before we invited them)- out of the country courtesy invites, who already let us...

We just bought a home together, and prior to that, to save money, FH moved into my studio apartment. Of course his one bedroom apartment did not fit into my studio... so we each put some things into a storage unit, and he stayed with me for a few...

Table numbers! Did you do escort cards? Place cards? Some other cute idea? Those of you in that newly wed glow - how did yours work out? Could people see them, were there a back up at the escort table card ect. I've hit a wall on this one and looking...

My bridesmaids got together with my mom and threw me a lovely shower! They did a brunch, with baked goods, a ham, and quiche - yum! Some family came in from out of town, and it was great to see all my friends in one place. I was a little nervous...

Which part of wedding planning can you *just not even*? For me... It's the registry. We need things, we really do, we're moving in together for the first time, and have outgrown our college era things which are lingering. We need things like towels,...
