Category: Fevered rants of a frantic Bride

http://www.epochvideoproductions.com/Site/Home.html Ben and I weren’t actually planning on doing the whole wedding video thing. At the time it seemed frivolous, like something we’d be unlikely to ever watch. But since it was offered, how could we refuse? And now I’m so glad we decided to go for it. After crying through the first viewing like… Continue reading A lovely thing

Sometimes it seems to glow with it’s own light. Other times, like last night, it seems to suck all the light into it, making it a dark, shadowy figure over by the door, hanging off the door. I’ve become almost obsessive about not brushing against it as I walk past. Whenever I’m in the bedroom,… Continue reading The ghost in the corner of my room

My favorite mistakes from May 2nd. I think all of these made the day even better: – How the car I was in got lost on the way to both the rehearsal AND the wedding, in the exact same way!!! (I think my stepdad was horrified. I thought it was funny) -How I almost tripped… Continue reading Perfect imperfections

In January of 2002 I was a sophomore in college. It would be two and a half years until I met my future husband and an additional three and a half before I married him.

With 23 days left to go, Ben and I decided it might be a good idea to take care of the actual “getting married” side of the giant party we’re throwing. This, after all, is the whole point. You’d be amazed how easy it is to lose sight of that fact. So yesterday we headed… Continue reading Adventure at the City Hall

When did this whole “write your own vows” thing start, anyway? This is a 1960’s thing, right? Begun back in the days of free love and anarchy, when everyone was writing poetry about the colors of their lovers’ auras? But more important than when is why. As in, why am I reading these stupid magazines… Continue reading I Vow

Shopping for wedding gowns is an amazing experience. You walk into a little boutique lined with beautiful dresses made of satin, silk and lace, and embroidered with sequins, seed pearls, and little flowers. You know that you’ll be walking out with one of these gowns, if not today than someday soon. It’s exciting and magical.… Continue reading Flower girl? Check!
