So I've been reading a book on wedding philosphosy called "One Perfect Day~The Selling of the American Wedding" by Rebecca Mead. There are some very thought-provoking points brought up. The book explores today's perception of the Bridezilla and the wedding

Yay! After checking out about 75 Holiday CD's from the library, I've finally found it! Lucky for me, I love Xmas music, so it wasn't so bad! The winner is "Winter Weather," by Squirrel Nut Zippers. It's classic (actually a re-make of an older song), it's

I made a personalized crossword puzzle tonight! I think we'll probably put it in the program, or maybe the OOT bags. I like the idea of it in the program, so that way, every guest can get one, instead of just the guest's who are staying at the lodge.

Well, tomorrow (technically today, since it's 1am) is my FI's birthday. We're not doing anything extraordinary, just special-day treatment and probably dinner. Last year we went skydiving, but I guess that's what planning a wedding does for your finances!

March was a great month for wedding projects. Let's revisit my goals: 1. Find a photographer . Found and contacted, but needs to be booked. I was looking over her blog the other day when I realized she just shot a wedding at my venue. I asked to see her
