I must admit…

Posted on October 31, 2008. Filed under: deciding | Tags: |

I have a little nagging worry and I need your help dealing with it, pretty please.  Remember all of that stuff about the dress?  I liked the David’s Bridal dress all along, I’ll admit.  But (*sssshhhh*, this is the secret part) I bought the second dress for my guy.
Um, what?  Yea, hold on, I’ll explain.
My [...]

A shameless plea

Posted on October 31, 2008. Filed under: please |

Um, hi.  Remember how helpful you were when I couldn’t decide on a dress?  And remember how you gave me suggestions on what to do with our garden trail?  And there was that time that you came up with a brilliant solution for my name conundrum?  See?  We’re friends, all y’all (I’ve been told that [...]

Short and sassy

… I’m talking about hair, but I suppose you can describe me that way too. 
My hair, if you recall (if you don’t, mouse over my chees-y icon and you’ll see a pic of me) is short.  In fact, it’s much shorter than it appears in that picture because it’s a graduated cut so [...]

On the road again…

Tell the truth, how many are now hearing Willie sing it?  I’m so susceptible to getting songs stuck in my head for days… and somehow the song’s always Mariah Carey, so I suppose I should be glad that this is just Willie.
I’m on a business trip again.  After not traveling for a year, I’m on [...]

A public planning hiatus

Posted on October 28, 2008. Filed under: reality |

I get ahead of myself when I’m excited.  I get all caught up in the options and possibilities, then I get lost in them, then I get stressed and frustrated and overwhelmed and stuck in indecision.  I’ve known all along that I would struggle to enjoy our wedding planning process, to embrace the joy and [...]

Something old, something new

Posted on October 28, 2008. Filed under: screw-ups |

The shadow of your former loves and lives follows you into any relationship. The stakes are upped when the previous relationship was a marriage, and it (obviously) failed. Who doesn’t love a “first”? First kiss, first love, first bite, first sip. “I’ve never done this before, been here before, felt like [...]

Bright Ideas from YOU!

Posted on October 25, 2008. Filed under: general |

I’ve had such a great time since I joined Weddingbee a few weeks ago, and that’s because of YOU!  You’ve been supportive, related to my struggles, offered advice, and said, “Show me the RING!”  You are fabulous gardeners, editors, fiances, and wives — judging by your comments — and you’ve shared your experiences, suggestions, and [...]

Dress Saga Follow-Up

The Dress Saga
{Mr. Cheese, DELETE NOW.}
After I begged for help in deciding which dress to wear, reader lmdh helpfully suggested that I take a picture of myself wearing the bridesmaid’s dress with the pickups from Mori Lee.  So, this cheesy gal hopped right up from her comfy spot on the couch (hey, I work blog [...]

My dress saga

Posted on October 23, 2008. Filed under: deciding | Tags: |

A three dress bride?  Ridiculous, but possibly true.
Sigh.  I have no idea what to do about my dress situation, so I’m hoping that you can help me.  Pretty please?  I’ll trade you embarrassing unflattering pictures of myself in return for your help.
{Mr. Cheese, if you’ve read this far, DELETE THIS EMAIL — he gets every [...]

It’s all in the words

Posted on October 23, 2008. Filed under: inspiration |

I’m a bit of a strategist by profession.  My theme post was part of the execution of our wedding, but the strategy is much simpler.
Two words:  Meaningful and Lasting.
In our life, I’m all about the meaningful, while My Favorite Guy is all about the lasting.  I want to be surrounded by objects and items that [...]

    About

    I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt (and divorce papers) to prove it. Here I am again, pledging my life to my (new) love with eyes wide open (and heart racing) knowing full well how emotionally traumatic this can end… and doing it anyway.
