"This Is IT!"
As I sit upon the living room floor, Indian Style my pose of choice, I am struck by the reality of what I am actually doing. There, in the center of this room in the home in which I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life, I realize that I am ACTUALLY preparing the centerpieces for my WEDDING!!
“MY wedding”…wow… Two words I hoped I would one day use, but never imagined...

The Proof Is In The Bumblebees
Greetings and Salutations, one and all!
It’s been a substantial amount of time since I’ve written a wedding update! My deepest and most humble apologies!
Wedding planning has been progressing both rapidly and hectically! I was cool, calm, and collected during the beginning stages of the planning, but as the date swiftly approaches with the speed of a bullet train, my...

An Act Of Defiance
At the encouragement of a friend to remember to update the wedding blog, I thought I would do a little reminiscing this evening! If you make it through the whole story, I will be extremely impressed…I got detailed again…but believe it or not, I actually cut it down. For one thing, I didn’t even tell you what we actually ate!! Well…you’ll see…and now that...
Bummed...
I TOTALLY just spent an hour writing an account of last year’s events, and it totally won’t allow me to copy/paste my entry into the text window! I’m BUMMED!! Hopefully when I see Josiah tomor-well, it’s ‘today’ now, but when I see Josiah tomorrow, I’m hoping he’ll be able to tell me what to do in order to post what I wrote!
Love to all!

Bring on the Crayons
The day has finally grown tired enough to begin settling into bed, and as the comfort of night peeks into the living room windows, I’m once again settled snuggly in front of the fireplace and Christmas tree. Poor Josiah is feeling under the weather and having some much needed quiet time at his apartment.
I really do not have any sort of wedding planning update; in fact, the only thing on my...

The blessing of knowing so many people!!
As Christmas and the New Year rapidly approach, we are feeling the imminent arrival of the event known as “sending the invitations!” Organ music and the crash of lightning can be heard in the distance as I utter those three words…
You see, Josiah and I both have been blessed with the friendship of MANY MANY wonderful people! We are loved! What can I say? Surprise, surprise! ;-D...

The Countdown...
It’s officially December 15th (the day after my brother Andrew’s 22nd birthday, which he spent at his post in Afghanistan) and there is SO much to DO before April 3rd!!
I have to tell you…I’m officially convinced that it would be less expensive to rent an arena than it would be to try and rent a church for the wedding ceremony. Perhaps if we found an arena with that astro...

Cranberry strings and popcorn garlands
So…last night, after leaving the Christmas party of some dear friends, Josiah and I came back to my parent’s house for tree decorating. And as I’m sitting in the living room, basking in the ethereal glow of the Christmas tree, the lights glittering off ornaments, homemade and store-bought, I have to admit that we did a pretty dang good job of glitzing up our Frasier Fir! As soon as I walked into...

I FOUND MY DRESS!!!!
Hello Everyone!!!
When the wedding dress search began, I was excited, determined, and armed with photos and examples of my inspiration! The vision I had for my wedding dress was firmly encased in a cement kimono, and nothing was going to shake my resolve! For being fairly “go-with-the-flow,” I was searching like MAD online and in various shops for the dress of my dreams. BUT…as...
Welcome!
