I stopped by my usual poetry reading tonight after work. I didn't go to read poetry. I didn't go to spend time with my friends. I didn't go to get inspiration and to listen to other poets. I went to give someone a Save The Date. After the reading, everyone

So I was browsing some wedding porn the other day when suddenly it hit me: my new occupation. I am a BRIDE. Being a BRIDE is an all-intensive career. I've read enough material to officially award myself at least a Bachelor's Degree (BTW, it took me five

In my exhaustive research of ceremonies, I have made this master list of all the different parts of a traditional wedding ceremony. These are the notes I used as a rough outline in organizing my thoughts and to help me direct the flow of the ceremony.

I found this on Knottie Jacque85's bio today, and wanted to put it somewhere safe! I've been thinking of doing something like this with my hair, but have no clue how to work it! Everything below is cut and pasted from her bio. Ok, so first of all you

Just thought I'd share! 1. Every week feels like Christmas! I get so many packages in the mail, that every trip to the mailbox feels like a trip to Santa's Toy Shoppe. We haven't gotten any gifts, but I sure do a lot of internet shopping! Yeah, couldn't

I've been working on writing our ceremony this week. I've been super excited about this task for a few reasons. One, I love to write, and writing the words not only that we will exchange, but the words that our friends and family will hear on marriage,

Ugh. I hate it when my internet goes down. We are a TV-free household, but I do need something to zone out on and connect with the outside world. I spend a lot of time on the internet, I admit. That's especially more noticeable when I don't have a connection.

Today marks our ten month negative anniversary! Things are progressing along well. Yesterday I bought our invitation kits. They're super plain, and kind of match our STD cards. I don't know quite if I like them are not. The paper was only $77, and I got

Number 1,044 why I am a total dork. I bought index cards. I was concerned after hearing stories of theknot crashing and people losing their guest list addresses. I color coded our guest list (his family, his friends, my family, my friends), wrote everyone's

I think my last blog was misconstrued. I wasn't choosing between a better photography package or more guests...I was thinking of who I should cut from our guest list to keep us on budget. But the comments I received gave me an idea for this blog. I know

I updated my budget tonight. Sigh. I wish I had a larger budget, an unlimited budget. I should be happy with my $20,000 cap. It's more than I ever thought I would spend on our wedding. I actually can't believe we're on schedule to scrape together that

I made a small addition to my wedding party. So far, I had my sister (MOH) and my little brother (RB) in there, but I had one sibling missing. I got to thinking about it and decided it wasn't fair and that I really want my other brother to stand by me.

Well, it took me over a month, but I've finished my STD's! I am so proud of how they turned out! My Bridezilla moment: I called my fiance the minute I had the first one assembled and told him to rush home right now to see them. Luckily, he was already
