Bridezilla Cometh

There are less than two months left on the calendar before our wedding and I am starting to freak out. I imagine this is what brings on the bridezilla syndrome. My list of things that remain to be done includes:

dress alterations
find a seamstress
find shoes
pick out accessories
decide on make-up
get wedding party gifts
get parent gifts
select a hair [...]

Protected: What I Did For Love

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Trash the Dress?

OK, it’s technically Wedding Wednesday today so I thought I’d throw an update your way. As we’re hitting the home stretch now, we’re starting to wrap up all the remaining details, one of which is the photography. (In case your new here, my fiance and I are getting married in Mexico this Nov.) The resort [...]

*&%#?@!!!

I woke up this morning very eager to get to my yoga class since the substitute teacher stood us up yesterday. I was probably rushing a bit when I was rinsing out a glass just before leaving and the damn thing shattered.
I was pretty sure most of it landed in the sink, but you just [...]

Going Postal

I had planned some great posts for you the last couple of days, none of which have been published due to an unfortunate experience with the post office! Like many Philly brides, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that our city is home to the nation’s first post office. As such, mail sent [...]

You’re Invited!

OK, so you’re not really invited, but our guests soon will be. Our wedding invitations are currently being printed, courtesy of weddingpaperdivas.com. We selected a casual, simple design in keeping with the theme of our destination wedding.
Cute, no? We thought about a palm tree design like in our save-the-dates, but when we changed the color [...]

In the Pink

Wedding plans are moving along nicely now, so I thought it was time for an update!
How hot is my MOH going to look walking down the aisle in this Alvina Valenta dupioni (silk Shantung) bridesmaid dress??

The fuchsia color (watermelon if my fiance asks) is a far cry from the dark orange tone I originally wanted, [...]

Flagged

If you cannot spell a simple, one syllable, six-letter word, you are officially drunk. I received an email from my stepmother that contained the following:
“throught (sp?)”
What she was going for there was, in fact, “throat.”
This means that while she typed this, a woman with a college education thinks it’s better to ask me than consult [...]

Pudgy or Pregnant?

I am currently too fat for food, at least food that tastes any good. Here is why.
A couple of weeks ago, an acquaintance approached me in a local coffee shop and greeted me with, “Congratulations!” I smiled and thanked her as clearly, she was referencing my approaching wedding. “My girlfriend told me your expecting,” she [...]

The Search is Over!

I’m thrilled to be getting a Wedding Wednesday update out there on Wednesday this week. But, unless there is some huge outcry from readers, I will now provide information on our nuptials as appropriate, and likely at times, ad nauseum.
The biggest news at the moment, much to the relief of my girlfriends, I’m sure, is [...]
