It's my most favorite day of the year! Well, one of them. I do love March 2 (Piper's Birthday), and July 30 (Nash's) too. But October 26 holds a special place in my heart. Today marks 13 years of loving the same good man, and nine of sharing his last name. Cheers to today and [...]
Something borrowed, something new. Something old, something blue. Somewhere in between 74 antique mason jars, seating charts, squat marathons, hotel blocks, cellists in Florida, waxing, bleaching, tanning and plucking - the traditional "somethings" slipped my mind (imagine that). Not my husband's though (here come two major "awww" moments). The Night Before (one year ago, today) Rehearsal [...]
My mom and I talk every morning during my 20-minute commute to work - one of my favorite parts of the day. This morning, she reminded me of all of the lovely things I left out of yesterday's "Pretty Things" post - to which I reminded her, this is a countdown - not an overload. [...]
"...& witty words." - To quote the utterly fantastic designer, Kate Spade (BTW: My fabulous, dancing-queen mama rocked the hell out of her slingback Kate Spade pumps on our big day...so proud). Can't go wrong with glitter and bold bows...ever. We're four days out from the big 1-year wedding anniversary (and five-years of really digging each other...wow!) - so I was mulling [...]
I have one more thing to add to the list of things that are harder than the first year of marriage (which we determined wasn't hard - contrary to Amy Elliot Dunne's first diary entry in Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl): The dress code Should be simple, right? Bride wears white, groom wears black, and the bridal [...]
We sure did - and, it was delectable. Because it mattered. Dessert is my favorite meal of the day - and should really be consumed before other meals so the taste buds aren't jaded when it finally hits the palate. There is, of course, the issue of unwanted calories and that frustrating tight-waistband routine, but [...]
venue [ven-yoo] noun a massive chunk out of any wedding budget - and an equally as massive headache (negative) an opportunity for spontaneous road trips and [Southeast] world-travel (positive) a possible journey of self-discovery and preference (if we want to get really deep) the pinnacle decision that generates a domino effect of wedding planning: venue availability [...]
I truly believe that Pinterest is a gift from God - and when I get to Heaven, I am going to thank Him for it. From the earrings I wore and the faux-flower I sported in my wedding hair (& hair style) to my Tiffany blue garter, monogrammed moss wooden letters, rustic wedding cake-cutting set, groomsmen's gifts and [...]
He'll actually enjoy an engagement photo shoot. Serious. But let's back waaaaaaaay up. Every evening when we get home from the gym, Tye likes to unwind and spend some quality time with...the TV. Tonight was no different. He announced our options for viewing pleasure were: "Baseball, football - or NCIS...you choose." Thoughtful - but, I'll pass. I let him know [...]
Happy October! For my husband and I, it's happy day-one of our Anniversary month. This is kind of big deal - considering that among the oodles of solicited (and unsolicited) pre-wedding wisdom we received, a common theme was: The first year of marriage is the hardest - but if you make it, it's all smooth sailing from [...]
