Crafts! I never knew the extent of crap one has to put up with or do before she gets married. I'm not a creative person (except stealing fashion ideas from Banana Republic and Ann Taylor - not creative though) or one who has any inkling to imitate Martha

Guest lists and seating: This is a very dangerous thing. It can both hinder and help you while you determine who to invite (because they care to come) and if they choose to accept the invitation - where to seat them. Right now, I'm facing a multi-faceted

I have been seriously bitching about my wedding and the hit to everyone's finances (my dad loves to vent after I sign a contract - why you ask? because he is being himself). And despite the very scary incident last night (read below) I actually got some

Last week was hit or miss (me crumpled in the fetal position because of "missing" my FI's phone call - history). I choose to live life like Scarlett O'Hara - look to the promise of tomorrow (I paraphrase). So, I met with my wedding coordinator - I knew

One of my BMs gave me a novel and yet most obvious idea. Send your people (family) to the capital the day before the weddin' and let them have a "Mr. Smith" moment. So I called up my parents' congressman (I seriously have no idea who mine really is in

Friday: (Wedding) I have officially reached my breaking point. ENOUGH stress about the reception venue. I therefore decide to find a Wedding Day Coordinator (I figure that I'm already hemorrhaging cash - why not a few hundred more?). So I found a newlywed

I have been having serious stress attacks. Not panic attacks not cold feet (I'm marrying an Oscar De LaHoya doppleganger - Cutie). Stress. How am I going to dress tables? Throw disposable cameras on to tables? Have cute vignettes about us as a couple

Last night I was kickin' it in Shirlington - which is this hip boho neighborhood of Arlington, VA. If you live in NOVA or love quaint but modern - so go! My FI desperately needed a haircut so I went to Le Village Marche - a cutsy kitch boutique with French

So I had to seriously put some thought into my playlist: think about how many generations will be around and how can everyone effectively have a great time without isolating anyone. I used to work with the DJ's mother so she kind has some idea but I figured

So I have absent from blogging - oh don't worry. I harassed my florist to no avail, convinced my mom to pay me back for the additional room I had to purchase via Hotels.com (A necessary evil). I told my FI's boss that the FI didn't want a big production
