I’m baaaaaack!!!So, here we are… at the end of the wedding marathon. Well, almost, anyway. I am good and married; we had our destination wedding and our at-home reception. So now to wrap it all up! I have included it ALL here, but I will try
All My Bags are Packed, I’m Ready to Go… are you singing Leaving on a Jet Plane in your head yet? 😉 Well, all my bags are almost packed. I have run into a snag that is particular with destination weddings: packing.Basically, you have to cram everything you
Brandon and I are VERY fortunate. We each have both parents, all of our aunts, uncles, cousins… and until just under one year ago, we both still had all four grandparents. The only people close to us who had passed away were great aunts and uncles

Okay, be honest: how many of us, when we thought about that big day, walking down the aisle, the music, the dress, the flowers… How many pictured that day involving a hundred or more spectators? The smallest wedding I have ever been to was about 75

Most of the posts I write here are pretty general, but every once in a while something comes up specific to destination weddings. This is one such post. It was not that long ago, really, that if you were planning on traveling, you talked to a
On Sunday, April 28, I was blessed enough to have had a simply lovely bridal shower. You know that word, “lovely”? Well, be prepared to hear it a lot. My shower, as it turns out, was also budget-savvy, from what I understand. So here is the
Well, we just passed the three-month mark in the great wedding countdown. Final projects are wrapping up, major changes are taking place, items are getting crossed off the to-do lists… So I thought this might be a great time to reorganize some of the giant “wedding
