I had the honor and pure joy of being a guest at my friends' Tina and Mickey's vow renewal in Las Vegas this past weekend. To celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, they decided to do a wedding pt. II with Elvis officiating this time around. They sent out a Paperless Post that stated "NO RSVP, JUST COME PARTY." Hawaiian attire was encouraged. I was in. Having subjected myself and my loved ones to the most unnecessarily intense wedding planning process over the past year and a half, Tina was exactly the type of bride (ie not a bridezilla) I needed to be around...View Article

Tony and I are less than two months out from our wedding, and all of the final stages of planning are kicking into high gear. We just found out that Tony's schedule will allow us to go on a honeymoon, so we're having the most fun scrambling to figure out where to go (please comment below with any ideas!!) I'm still riding the happiness high from last weekend's perfect bridal shower (as I write this, I'm listening to the playlist my sweet friend Corey's boyfriend made especially for the party), and am looking forward to a weekend packed with All Things Wedding - we're trying to track down a tuxedo for Tony, and are shopping for our wedding rings tomorrow! Here are all the things that put a smile on my face this week... I hope you have a fabulous weekend packed with over-priced diamonds, beautiful soul music, unaffordable tuxedos and leftover cake, too! HAPPY FRIDAY!View Article
I know that at its core, this wedding is really about Tony and me and the life we're creating together, so this may seem silly to say, but (aside from the day Tony proposed), the wedding has never felt more real than this past Saturday, at my bridal shower. I've been planning the wedding for so long that Pinterest is haunting my dreams. I've spent more time agonizing over the logistics of parking and who we've forgotten off the guest list than I have thinking about what I'll say to Tony in my vows (I know. I'm ashamed.) But this Saturday was all about the women I love who love me, coming together to support and celebrate me...View Article
Four years ago today, Tony took me on our first date and asked me to be his girlfriend (he moves fast). Today is my bridal shower and, two months from Monday, I'll marry him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. In honor of our anniversary, I'm re-sharing The Dateiversary Anniversary, which I wrote last year about all the reasons why I love him...View Article
Anytime you receive an email that starts off with "Hi beauties!!!!" and has a wedding-related subject line, you know you're in for something awful. And a few of the friends I love most in this world, when I invited/harassed them to participate in a "Wedding Sweatshop Wino Night" this past Sunday. Only it wasn't just a night, it was a day. I offered them wine, champagne, snacks, pizza and cupcakes in exchange for a day of free labor assembling hundreds of DIY projects while listening to me vent about wedding drama. And they agreed...View Article
It would seem that my goal is to make all of my loved ones hate me by August 1... Can't write/shower/be a productive member of society today, I'm too busy forcing my parents and fiancé into wedding DIY indentured servitude. Welcome bag assembly, here we come! TONY, DO YOU STILL WANT TO MARRY ME????View Article
