Sorta. We started a Macy's registry online MONTHS ago, but hadn't really done anything about it. Saturday, we were out and about and decided that we'd go the Crate and Barrel route. I could only handle about half an hour in the store. Then I was done

Maybe they'll come together. After getting a final quote from a different caterer, it looks like we'll be going with her. She's not our first choice, but I think she'll be o.k. I mean, she's what we can afford. She told us her partner is the level headed

So, I got a brief moment to talk to my brother this evening. He's my man of honor, but works goofy hours at a hotel, and is thusly a bit difficult to get a hold of. I have one other bride's maid, E, whom I haven't really had much of a chance to get close

Yep. I have a couple. Normally, they're no big deal. I love them. I thought long and hard about them before I got them. Yet, now I sort of feel like a hypocrite. One of the two is between my shoulder blades. It will, of course, NOT be covered by my dress.

Well, maybe not to the catering issue, but things aren't all bad. I'm nearly finished with my STD's. MOST of them are stamped and ready to go in the mail box. I'm waiting for a phone call from my Aunt tonight to get final addresses (they're her children

Honest to goodness, I'm ready to throw in the towel on this WHOLE THING!!! We don't need all of this crap to get married. We've been together for 3 and a half years. We're practically married already. I could go to city hall tomorrow and be happy to be

That we just might have chosen a caterer. It still comes out more than we really wanted to spend... Which somehow seemed inevitable... But, it seems like we'll be getting the most put together person/company for our money. Decent food (VERY important),

Perhaps that makes more sense if you've read "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"... But it applies here too. After yesterdays panic attack, I went rummaging through my e-mail (if you can call it that) and found a recent "check in" e-mail from a caterer

So, our catering hunt continues... We've been doing this part for a LONG time, and its getting horribly frustrating. Our budget initially allowed for $6,000 for catering... HA! This is NYC. Well, Brooklyn, but whatever. So, we thought we could reasonably

See, when we started this whole planning process, I was swinging back and forth between feeling lucky that my man was involved with it all, and stressed out because he actually has an opinion about things. Well, not ALL things. As we get closer to the

I've been evading that little item on my knot checklist. Gah. Save the dates. Finally I got tired of seeing the little purple over due check mark and decided I'd put something together. The idea came together surprisingly quickly. Put it together Monday,

Yeah. I know I'm a little early in the whole planning stages for this part, but I've always loved jewelery... so why wouldn't I be excited about the piece that I'll wear for the rest of my life? Anyway, when we first got engaged (akk...16 months ago...
