Last summer we went home to visit for the first time in two years. Rediscovering all of the cold-weather clothes I’d left behind in my closet and all of my possessions waiting for me in Minnesota was so exciting. I didn’t want to wear any of the clothes in my suitcase, just the sweaters and [...]

*Warning*
This post is 100% wedding-planning-induced rant.
Dear wedding vendors,
I’m a little frustrated with planning right now, so please bear with me. I just have a little request that I’d like to put out there.
Please, for my sake and yours, get a decent website!!!
Actually, for some of you we may need to start with get a website, [...]
Check and check
We have a photographer! And a DJ! More on this later. I just wanted to note the occasion. Progress has been made!
Yellow dresses
The search is on for yellow bridesmaids dresses. I asked all of my girls to choose a yellow dress, roughly knee-length. So they are the ones choosing. And actually, I don’t know that anyone except for my sister (MOH) is actively looking yet. Which might worry me if I weren’t way the heck over here [...]
Centerpieces…check!
While we were home this summer, we did check a couple of things off of the wedding list. I went to IKEA three times. That store is so much more wonderful after living on a remote tropical island for two years. Let’s just say our apartment is not very homey here. Because selection is terrible [...]

Perfect!

to overpower or overcome, esp. with superior forces; destroy; crush: the independent and distant budget wedding planner was overwhelmed by the stalwart wedding industry.

Choices, choices!
You’d think that with all these weeks of being home, I’d have something to show for it on the wedding front. Alas, nada. For the past year, I’ve floated along in a sea of excess time. Things were too far out to really plan and I had all the time in the world. I perused [...]
Yellow it is.
Once we decided on the location, my vision for our wedding started evolving. I should note, this process of planning our wedding has really made me aware of how much I have changed these past two years. Living on this teeny tropical island has removed me from fashion trends and most of pop culture. I [...]
