It’s that time…
AND I FINALLY GET IT!
Driving down the road today, I was unexpectedly choked up. Why? Because I had an armful of fantabulous peonies sitting in a bucket of water right next to me that made me smile, and suddenly, I got it.
I get it! A, ha!
Some things you do because you must – parking, tent [...]
Paying attention…
I haven’t posted in a few days — Chez Cheese being a rather nutty place lately — but I was composing blog posts in my head while I painted and shopped and made endless lists. I was going to come here and tell you all about how my life had become a never-ending attempt to [...]

We all gripe talk about the nuttiness of wedding planning, how our previously sane selves suddenly find ourselves in a heaping pile of sobbs over our invitations or color schemes. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I don’t really find wedding planning fun and I didn’t really expect it to be, and you [...]

Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
George Bernard Shaw
Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 – 1950)
With nine days to go, I’m ready to unveil my super-duper effective prioritization technique, the one I use when “if I remember it it’s important” isn’t working (hi, I forgot to order flowers!): Sooner [...]

It was bound to happen. Really. If you know me, you know I obsess and freak out over details, then hit a point where I stop obsessing and start avoiding. That’s what the Oopsies begin.
I forgot to order flowers. Well, technically, I didn’t forget, I just didn’t get around to it. My plan was to [...]
Coulda Woulda Shoulda
Because I’m pretty honest about my first marriage — both good and bad — I sometimes get messages or comments from women who are marrying as young as I was the first time, wanting to know what I would have done differently (other than, I suppose, not being young). I suspect other readers have been [...]

When we first decided to host our own outdoor “garden wedding,” I was annoyed at the lack of boots-on-the-ground information about them. I wanted a list of things to know and do so that I’d be prepared, but I couldn’t find one. Consider this my first attempt to remedy that situation; I will update this [...]

That’s how I feel all the time. With just over 10 days to go, the proverbial shit is hitting the fan. Our house is trashed, owing to trying to get things done without stopping to breathe. Paint this, clean that, run to Hell Depot for the nineteenth time.
But it’s okay. Really. It’ll all turn out [...]
Lucky
This post has been brewing since long before I was a Weddingbee blogger, and it bubbled up to the front of my mind while listening to the radio this weekend. You know that song, “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colby Callait? “I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend….” Yea, that one. That song’s [...]

I’ll be honest, I’m beat, needing a weekend to recover from the weekend, so this post might be a bit lacking in style. However, I have decided to post as often as possible in the few weeks leading up to our wedding, be those posts good or bad, up or down, exhausted or giddy.
Here’s why: [...]
