The First Couple on (Their) Marriage
Hey, y’all! Have you read this article in the New York Times Magazine?
The Obamas’ Marriage
If you haven’t read it, go now. Seriously. Right now. It’s mind-blowingly honest and real. Regardless of your political persuasion, we need more honesty and reality around marriages. They talk about ups and downs, decisions and families and figuring out [...]

I’m a girl who’s gotta have a backup plan under the best of circumstances, and leaving the details of my bouquet to the whims of our rose garden (I say “our” with a bit of irony, since our only contribution is likely to be that we manage to kill them weeks before our wedding) makes [...]

With less than three months to go until we get married, I’ve decided it’s time to start working on the part of the whole thing that I look forward to the most: the ceremony.
I was a bit uncomfortable about writing it; if I know every word, every passage, every sentiment, will I feel as engaged [...]
Random conversations
source
While at the Aveda salon the other day getting my makeup done (oh, have I not blogged about that? *innocent look*), my stylist got to telling me about her sister’s fun and fabulous beach wedding. I was poised to hear all about the over-the-top resort or the phenomenal food when I heard this:
“They gave us [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Fun and inexpensive gift ideas
I loved Miss Powder Puff’s post on inexpensive wedding gifts, and it got me thinking about other gifts that I’ve loved to receive that weren’t terribly expensive: magazine subscriptions! This year for Christmas, each member of my family is getting a magazine subscription – less pressure than picking out a book, less expensive than clothing [...]

Oh, Miss Hot Cocoa, you are an eeee-vil woman. Remember this post? The one where you showed me the Pantone site? Thus began my long slide down the slippery slope of color picking. And boy, is it niiiiiice.
Y’all might remember that we bought a whole lotta classic mid-century goodness of a house, none of which [...]
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 [...]
It’s all in the words
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 [...]
