Crazy!

Just a quick post!  things have been getting more and more hectic as the wedding approaches.  We’ve had to finalize many little details about the wedding, pay our vendors, figure out our living situation limbo…on top of that, Joe has returned to PT school and I’ve been lost in the hours of fashion week prep.  [...]

Jewelry

The wedding dress I made is not particularly ornate or embellished because of the limits of my sewing skills.  So I decided the perfect way to add some vintage glam to my look would be to wear a statement necklace.  I figure its not giving away too much to post the finished result here on [...]

Our Engagement Shoot

Thanks for being patient, I finally got around to compiling our favorite shots from the engagement shoot.  Connie did an amazing job, and I can’t wait to see what she’s able to do when she shoots our wedding!

Looking Forward to a Permanent Roommate

One thing I’m excited about for marriage is having my “forever roommate.”  This is the first time in the six years of living in my apartment that I’m actually looking forward to the end of my lease (only half a month away).  I’ve had many, MANY roommates throughout my single adulthood.  Some experiences were really [...]

I Have a Wedding Dress!

I don’t think I’ve ever put it into words before, but I think one of my philosophies in life is, “if you can’t afford to buy it, then make it yourself.”  Two things lead to my decision to make my own wedding dress.  1. our low low wedding budget, and 2. my extreme pickiness due [...]

Cake Tasting at Nine Cakes Bakery

This past Saturday my mom and my sister drove up to New York to join us for our cake tasting at Nine Cakes Bakery.  I have to say, this has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of wedding planning so far, and Betsy Thorleifson (the baker and owner) far surpassed my expectations.

When we arrived, [...]
