Last weekend, one of my lifelong besties, Ali, got married at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, not far from where we grew up. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I was so honored and thrilled to be one in hers. It was the first wedding that Tony and I went to after we tied the knot, and it was so exciting to be at a wedding again... Given my feverish obsession with all things bridal, I wasn't sure how I would feel going to weddings after we got married. Nostalgic? Sad mine was over? Relieved and relaxed? Noticing details I missed, and would never have the chance to replicate? Overjoyed for the couple? In all honestly, it was a combination of all of those feelings. But above all, it was happiness for my friend Ali and her brilliant, sweet groom, Garrett.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.)

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

This weekend was all about BABIES, and (as you would imagine), it was pure happiness. Friday night, Tony, our friend Dom and I went to the LA Comedy Fest for a screening of MOTHERHOOD, a short I co-wrote and starred in (Dom directed it, and Tony co-starred). I’d never watched an unbiased audience watch it (only intensely stared as I forced loved ones to view it), so it was beyond exciting to hear people laugh and love it.View Article
