Shoes Schmoos
I almost completely forgot to blog about this, what with the chaos of ripping up our front yard to fix the drainage system and trying to get invites out the door.
I bought shoes!

They’re happy, comfy, and will match my bouquet (um, maybe)… yay! Oh, yea, and ON SALE. For less. than. thirty. bucks. including. tax. [...]
Operation Perspective continues…
I just had to share this advice I got from a reader, Jen, who left neither a blog link nor email, but to whom I am indebted.
Due to factors beyond our control, my husband and I had only about two months to plan our wedding — the whole thing! This meant that my dreams — [...]
On finding perspective
[Note: this is from a few weeks ago. I did not lose my sh!t twice in two days, though I seem to be careening crazily in that direction.]
I had one of those moments today, moments when you step back from yourself in stunned surprise at the path of your thoughts. I was standing in front [...]
Because my mom is the best
So, back before I unsubscribed to wedding inspiration blogs, I saw this on Junebug Weddings:

Oh! The very first wedding dress I was smitten by, before we were even engaged, was this one (and I can’t find the source to save my life, so if you know it, please speak up!):

Something about that ruffled collar [...]
Are blogs (sometimes) bad?
Now, you all know that I think you’re fabulous, you who have given me inspiration, support, friendship, and the knowledge that I am not alone in my Crazy, wedding-related or otherwise. But I am finding myself losing my sh!t way too often lately, and with two months to go, my guy staged a bit of [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )Two months and counting… a status update
I’m guessing that many of you prefer the posts where I pour my heart out in honesty and angst (it’s ok, I think I might prefer those too) while others are curious about this whole at-home wedding thing I’m planning. I’m hoping that my posts over the next few months will go in both directions, [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )Always a bright side…
I’ve been an Eeyore lately, all doom and gloom about… everything. Chalk it up to having two months to go before our big day, but I’m feeling panic, denial, and a complete lack of motivation in equal amounts. With 60-ish days to go, I don’t feel like we’ve accomplished enough, will ever accomplish enough, or [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Let’s talk about budgets again
I’ve been very honest and direct about a) my cheapness (which I prefer to call financial efficiency), b) my desire to keep our wedding from turning into an “event,” and c) the tininess (extremeness?) of our budget. What I haven’t been up front about is whether or not that tiny budget is really by necessity.
In [...]
Quick and easy Save the Dates
Back before I started obsessing over fonts and stressing over text, I threw together our Save the Dates in about 10 minutes. They’re not the most amazing, unusual, surprising or unbelievable Save the Dates, but they are cute and they were quick. And cheap.
That’s the front, created by adding a single line of text to [...]

Hello, hive! I need some creative suggestions, pretty please.
We’ll be placing a handwritten note of appreciation at each guest’s seat. Since I didn’t hand-write our invitations as I’d once imagined, I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to express how much I (ahem, “we”) love and appreciate each person in our lives. [...]
