Hair & Makeup Trial

So, to all you brides out there, don't be surprised on your wedding day!  I've seen it happen.  You give the stylist a picture of the hairstyle and makeup you want, but they can't make your hair and makeup look like the photo.  Get the hair trial done in advance so that you know that you will like your hair.

Hot Pants

I know, what a weird title for a blog.  I guess it is a double entendre.  In the case of our outdoor June Wedding, it pertains to the fact that the groom and groomsman are going to boil if they wear any formalwear.  Also... my husband is sexy lol.

The Truth About Chocolate Cake

OK, so this is totally my fault.  I just can't help it.  When I have access to chocolate cake lately, my willpower seems to disappear.  The fact that since the proposal we have had my birthday, Munchkin's birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Husband's birthday, and the Bridal Shower means that I have had my fair share of cake in the last six months.

It's Time!

It is crunch time y'all!  The remaining bits and pieces are starting to arrive.  The final push to complete the decorations is about to begin.

Showered With Love

Other Wife is brilliant!  She really is.  She is loving and caring and just straight up genius.  She also has fantastic ideas for so many things.  Let me tell you about my Bridal Shower.

Fun with Photoshop

Back in February, we met with a designer on Etsy, who makes the beautiful wood toppers for wedding cakes.  They said that we could make our own design and get back to them.  Life happened in between now and then, and the design fell off the radar.

What Happened to the Mail?

Whatever happened to the “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” creed of the US Postal Service?

Supplies Have Been Ordered

The Knot website kindly sends you these "only X days left to go" emails, which of course set my stress level at maximum.  Now that I've got the RSVP details and a final headcount, I'm able to start moving forward on the next/last phase of planning.

And the Winner Is...

Bridesmaid dresses are in!  After months of discussion and searching, the ladies have found and ordered dresses, and you'll probably be very surprised by the choice.
