OK, now that you’ve all seen my dress, let’s revisit hair styles…
I’m blessed with long, straight, easy-to-style “Barbie” hair. Though I will admit that strawberry blond is not my natural color (it’s more “dishwater” blond, blech), I am happy with everything else about my locks.
I still haven’t decided what I want to do with my [...]

On the 7th of this month, Justin and I celebrated eight years together. Eight! EIGHT IS GRRREAT!
Ahem. Sorry ’bout that.

For a gift, I had planned to take him to a very special restaurant near our apartment, but it was closed on Monday evening. I didn’t want to come home empty-handed even though we could just [...]

I don’t want to turn our wedding into some kind of endorsement for Coca-Cola, but found another brand-name something that I just had to have. It’s a hand-painted and weathered replica of an original Coca-Cola sign… I got it at the Fremont Antique Market a few weeks ago!

Right now, the sign is hanging above our [...]

Happy Earth Day, everyone! This is a bit of a redux of an earlier post, but it’s a little more relevant now.

( Go hug a tree like I did during our e-pics! )
Lately I’ve been thinking about ways to make our wedding more ecologically friendly. Because we’ve chosen a venue that we are celebrating for [...]

Justin and I have been struggling with what to do about a wedding cake and all because of our desserty namesake.
The problem is that neither of us are huge fans of wedding cake. I mean, we enjoy cake, but not any more than other desserts, and we can’t think of a wedding cake that we’ve [...]

When we originally received our engagement photos, I just posted a link to the online gallery. For posterity, I’d like to share a few of our favorites and a little about our experience.

Justin and I had our engagement photos taken in Glacier National Park during our 2007 visit. We had been engaged for about [...]

Here are a few more snapshots of the antique/rustic glass I’ve been collecting for our reception. These jars will be used for flowers and candles:
