Here we go again

Posted on April 30, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Ladies, I need help.  Once again I’m confronted by the need to make decisions on something for which I have no opinions (my friends would be STUNNED to hear this, I’m sure): the whole bridal party-ceremony-processional-seating-etc situation.  Please share your brilliant, creative, and fabulous plans to save a poor Cheese. Mr. Cheese will even make [...]

Everything I do…

Posted on April 30, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

… I do it for you.
You’re welcome for getting a cheesy Bryan Adams song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.  Now we’re in the same boat.  The Cheese Boat!
So, it’s 1am and I’m sitting in a hot, musty, fluorescent-lighted man-building (you know, the kind where only men work and the smells [...]

Doubts

Posted on April 29, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

As you approach your wedding day, everyone asks you if you’re getting nervous.  I wonder how they’d react if I said, “Yes, frankly, I’m scared shitless of the huge commitment I’m about to make.  Not because of him — I love him and admire him — but because it’s me, and to be the kind [...]

All by my very own self

Posted on April 28, 2009. Filed under: deciding |

Miss Crab Cake’s post got me thinking (as it did many of you) about how I want to deal with being escorted down the aisle (or in our case, “the trail”).  This is where sentimentality meets reality and I’m conflicted.
I very much wanted to walk alone, a la Mrs. Lovebug (on whom I will admit [...]

So much discomfort in one little post

Posted on April 24, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

{Honey Sweetie Pie?  Don’t read this one.  It’s not about you at all, just about my dress drama.  Yes, you’re off the hook.}
This week I had my long-awaited alterations appointment.  Okay, I made it two weeks ago so it’s not really long-awaited, but it felt like it while I was waiting on the mailman to [...]

What’s next?

We (okay, let’s be honest, I) babysat our neighbors’ six month old son this Saturday while they attended a wedding and it got me thinking about us and our future.  The conversation went something like this:
Me: “Honey, let’s wait like a decade until we have kids.  I need a nap.”
Him: “Okay.  Whatever.  Wait, but you’re [...]

Ring pillow shmring pillow….

Posted on April 21, 2009. Filed under: crafty-crafty |

We won’t have a ringbearer, lacking boys of the appopriate age in our circle of friends and family.  We will, however, have the world’s best Junior Bridesmaid in my 12 year old niece, L.  She’s too grown up to be a flower girl, and too young to be a bridesmaid, so we decided that Junior [...]

When real life and blogland collide…

Posted on April 20, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

My first comment on a bridal blog was about the Red Cross so I’m compelled to highlight a special blog post by a fellow blogger (and Tennesseean).  For those who don’t follow, her neighborhood was hit by a tornado about a week ago….

Our cheesy playlist

Posted on April 20, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

I gotta tell you, I am getting really excited about our wedding, and the big reason behind that is our playlist.  It’s pretty freaking cool.  And by cool I mean totally cheesy and goofy – you know, just like us.  Our hope is that the night will be filled with, “Oh, my gawd I LOVE [...]

If I could do it all over again…

Posted on April 17, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Remember when I said that I wasn’t going to spend one. more. minute thinking about invites?  I lied.  What can I say?
The most frustrating part of my whole invitation experience was that, had I planned a little better, I would have been much, much happier — all while spending about the same amount of money.

    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.
