I’ve recently received a few requests for updates via email and am feeling guilty for my absence. Here’s the latest on me and mine:
Marriage: better than expected
I’m happy to report that the wedding went extremely well and Matt and I are happily married. Marriage hasn’t changed our relationship much, but I do feel that it’s […]
Due to the current market conditions (Aside to new readers - I work as a marketer for a Fortune 500 financial services firm), I’ve been putting in some pretty long days at the office over the couple of weeks. That hasn’t left much time for wedding planning or blogging.
This is what I’ve been up to […]
I don’t intend to appear ungrateful, but I just have to relate the following:
The RSVPs for the wedding are coming in. One of my family members checked “declines with regret” on the response card, and enclosed a personal check.
No note or personal message written anywhere on the card.
Just a check made out to “Mr. and Mrs. […]
Our wedding is now just one month out, and I’m feeling pretty good about where we are with our planning.
It’s taken a while for me to get to this place.
I really wanted to be a different kind of bride - I had fantasies of being a cool, laid-back anti-bride, but there have been moments when I’ve let […]
Matt and I have spent the last year or so saving for our wedding. We’ve deposited our bonuses and tax returns, socked away our “extra” paychecks, and saved all cash gifts for the last 14 months. Now the wedding is about six weeks away, and we’re tapping into our coffers to pay for the associated […]
I haven’t been nearly as active here as I would like to be, and for that I apologize. I have been caught off-gaurd by the amount of time and energy it takes to pull one of these wedding things together. We’ve spent the last few weeks making lots of plans, and it looks like it’s going to be […]
Our wedding is less than 10 weeks away and we still have a lot of loose ends to tie up before we say “I do.” We’ve finally settled on a caterer (someone from my hometown) and we’ll be finalizing the menu in the next couple of days. I’ll post the whole thing - complete with […]
Matt and I are in the process of making plans for our honeymoon. We’re each taking the week immediately after the wedding off of work so that we can do some kind of fun trip state-side (we’re thinking about a take bigger, all-inclusive type of vacation in February 2009 if we can find a good […]
Between my good friend’s wedding in August and my own pending nuptuals in October, it’s all weddings all of the time at my house.
Matt and I started our wedding registry last weekend, and it went pretty well. The whole day was almost entirely without incident until it was time to select the flatware. Matt wanted to register for […]
I mentioned last week that a friend is allowing her bridesmaids to select their own dresses for her August wedding. There are 7 or 8 little black dresses hanging in my spare bedroom, but I don’t love any of them. Two of them are ok - I’m keeping at least one for work, but I’ll […]
