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
The great unveiling
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. And yet, this is about the time my grandmother happily announced to me that she had bought my wedding gift.… Continue reading The great unveiling
The honeymoon’s over
After an amazing honeymoon we got home yesterday to discover that our landlords decided to enhance the mail box system by adding a gigantic bookshelf to the landing.

Flower girl? Check!
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!
