My man and I met at a summer camp and have been inseperable ever since. He proposed in August of 06 and we are to be married in August of 08. I'm attempting to do this on a low budget in the most laid back way possible, but only time will tell how it really ends up.

Up and down

Ugh. My mom makes me nuts. We are working out the invitations this week, a simple home printed invite (RSVPs via e-mail/phone) and an insert with map/lodging info. My mom seems to enjoy the backseat wedding planner position... I sent off the card, that

Should I be freaking out?

Posted Friday, May 23, 2008 9:49 AM

My wedding is the first Saturday in August. My invites aren't ready yet, meaning they aren't quite designed, I don't have all the addresses and I'm not sure where I'm getting them printed. I don't have a cake, I'm not even sure what we are doing for a

Return of the prodigal bridesmaid

As I was writing a blog post, I thought to myself that I should just call my missing bridesmaid and, lo and behold, she answered... so, she is no longer missing. And she did, in fact, reserve a block of rooms for us... would have been nice to know in

Family filled weekend

We spent the entire weekend with M's family. His paternal grandfather passed away last Sunday, so this weekend family from all around the world came en masse to Fond du Lac to celebrate the life of this amazing man. It was bittersweet, but M has what

The runaway Bridesmaid

Posted Thursday, May 15, 2008 4:30 PM

She'll turn up, I'm pretty sure she will. It's been a month since I've heard from her, although MySpace says she edited her profile on April 18th, so she was near a computer at that point in time, where she is now is beyond me. But, look at me, not freaking

First the invitations. When I first told my family that we were thinking of having pirate/princess wedding the first words out of my younest sister's mouth were "can I design the inviations?" Great, she's an art student, she's eager to do it, great. Yeah,

My first fitting

Posted Wednesday, May 07, 2008 2:42 PM

My first fitting was last night, it went pretty well. The "full service bridal salon" was running a little behind and did not apologize to me, although I did see other brides get apologies for the tardiness... When I chose my dress my "bridal attendant"

Uh... my mom picked her dress?

Posted Tuesday, May 06, 2008 2:17 PM

So today at lunch my mom showed me the dress she recently bought and would like to wear to my wedding. It is linen. A plain linen dress with a little bit of a ruffle around the top that she called a "jacket". Yep, it looks like a potato sack. She tells
