Napkin drama…
source
… or lack thereof.
All along, my personal Bridezilla limit was getting all worked up making sure the napkins matched everything else. Now, don’t get me wrong, I admire and respect the use of napkins to continue a color scheme or theme throughout a room, but I’m at peace with the fact that I’m neither inclined [...]
My secret source
I have yet another secret to share with you. If you, like me, are trying to have a great home or backyard wedding on an extreme budget, you will love me.
It’s a fabulous place where you can get basic stuff that you need for very little money; so little, in fact, that you might be [...]
I’ve been a busy bee… wocka, wocka
So, on my last post, I got called out on the fact that I’ve been blogging about planning a wedding, and not actually telling you about the plans! {Honestly, I’m kinda flattered that you care! Awwww.}
And whoa, boy, have I been busy. You’ll be proud (and if you’re not, can you fake it for me, [...]
Favorite words, part II
I’ve collected quotes for a while, copied into the notes section of my email program. Here are a few more of my favorites:
She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s [...]
My dearest mister:
I know that the all-wedding, all-the-time mode that I seem to be on is tiring for you, especially because I know that you’d be perfectly happy with a quick courthouse wedding and a nice dinner out. I also know that part of the reason that my obsessing drives you nuts is that, it [...]
Favorite words…
I’m a words girl. These words are some of my favorites.
When I talk about “my people,” this is the context I’m referring to. I can’t think of a more concise description of what marriage is.
Ruth 1:16 – “Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I [...]
Help me help you
{You know the movie reference, right?}
Yesterday’s rant about our dear fiances and their sometime lack of understanding of the bazillion details that brides have to handle struck a chord with me. Yea, duh, since I wrote it, but also because I so related to all of your comments. I kept thinking, I’m having a hard [...]
Relax, get through it, if you want to get to it
“Don’t you ever think about anything else?” he asked in all honesty and naivete, not knowing the kind of wrath that question could invoke.
We were laying in bed and I’d just asked if he’d thought about what the groomsmen should wear, because the guy on the TV commercial looked pretty good in dark slacks with [...]
Didja miss me?
Why, hello, there, hive! How the heck are ya? It’s been a while, I know… don’t hate me. I’ve been a busy little bee, and you’ve been well taken care of by the other fabulous bees (and c’mon, don’t you just love the new bees to death?).
Before I take you through the details of the [...]
Confessions of a second-time bride, part II
Part I
The problem is that I want it all. I want it all because I don’t want to have regrets, but if you’re the kind of person who is afraid of regrets, chances are you’ll find them no matter what. (I know of what I speak.) I want a traditional wedding, an intimate wedding, and [...]
