Last weekend, I went with my cousin, her mom, and bridesmaids to try on wedding dresses. And beyond wanting to beat her to a pulp for complaining about her 2-size difference waist-to-hips ratio making it hard to size her, it was a really good day. (Sorry, you just won’t get any sympathy from me about [...]
A couple of weeks ago, thanks to some poor floor space/table planning, I wasn’t able to sit with the rest of my family at my cousin’s wedding reception. So before the younger crowd pulled out the copious amount of JELL-O shots, I ended up camping out at my Aunt Nancy’s table.As the night went on [...]
Yesterday, I texted my friend, who got married a couple of weeks ago, to “see how the newlyweds were doing”. And as I expected, she replied that nothing has changed. I can’t even tell you how many times I gave that answer – most couples who were already living together before tying the knot feel [...]
Last week, I found out that my cousin got engaged. And as much as I want to spew gossip, rant and rave, and point fingers, I know that even though this is “my blog” and I have full rule-making rights, nothing good can come of it. So let’s just say . . . I have [...]
Today is Ben and my second wedding anniversary. There’s no big vacation planned, just a night out to a nice dinner, which considering the pace of the last few weeks, is a welcomed thing. Especially when I’ve been hoarding $60 in gift cards for a local restaurant for months so we can really enjoy ourselves! [...]
My best friend is getting married today! At the wedding, I will be giving the toast, since the best man wasn’t too thrilled at the idea, and clearly, we all know I’m a total ham more than willing. On a whim, I suggested to the bride that I should do an “everything I know about [...]
When my bestie came over a few days ago to get some wedding stuff done (the wedding is in exactly one month, today!), Ben treated our godson to a raspberry Popsicle and a dip in the baby pool. We kept the pool in the garage to avoid sunburn and filled it with warm water from the kitchen [...]
I won a photo book giveaway last week, and have been looking through all of our wedding photos because of it. Almost two years later, I still haven’t done much with them. Since we “hired” two amateur photographers who were more interested in experience and building their portfolio than monetary compensation, I have three CDs [...]
Ben and I spent our wedding night in the backseat of my car. Romantic, right? With Ben and I paying for our wedding on our own, we quickly realized that there was no way we’d ever be able to afford a honeymoon. We had settled on taking a “staycation”, locking the doors, unplugging the phone, [...]
I’m linking up to Shasher’s Life for a wedding dress blog tour. How fun! I wore my dress just under a year ago, on August 15, 2009. We were married on Ben’s Aunt and Uncle’s estate in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s already been a year. But that’s another story for another day [...]
