Wedding Quiz
I found this cute "wedding quiz" on Kristine's blog and figured I'd post it on mine as well.
How did you meet?
We met when I started going to school in Hickory, NC, fall of 2007. We were both tak...
My Bachelorette Party - The Photographer
I still don't have all the pictures from my bachelorette party, but I did just get these from the photographer. They arranged for me and my two very best friends to get pictures taken at the photog...
My Bachelorette Party - Coming Back Home
I had no time for blogging yesterday, because at 9 in the morning I was dragged out of bed to attend my own bachelorette party! And I wasn't back home until about 2:30 at night. It was a long day, ...
Engagement Pictures - Part 3
I've completely forgotten to post the rest of my engagement pictures. It's been more than a month since we took them. The whole photo session took about three hours, and in half of the pictures we ...
Engagement Pictures - Part 2
We have finally decided that Blane Marable is going to be our wedding photographer. We loved the engagement pictures he took of us, so it wasn't a very hard decision to make. Here are the rest of m...
Engagement Pictures - Part 1
Wow, I am still not done going through all of these pictures. I have exactly 1049 of them! So, just as a warning: I will probably be posting a lot of engagements pictures on my blog this next week....
Wedding Photography
We might have found our wedding photographer! I have been looking around for a really long time, but everything was either too expensive (I can't believe some people really pay that much for photog...
My Wedding To-Do's
Here are the next few things on my wedding to-do list (taken from theknot.com):
Protect my engagement ring - should have been done a long time ago!
Interview caterers - we've just started, and ...
Our Progress So Far - Part 2
The wedding is a long time away, but I love thinking about it, imagining, and planning, so we already have a bunch of things done. As soon as I get back to the US we wil start looking around for ca...
One Year Left
In exactly one year I will be getting close to walking down the isle at our wedding. And I suspect that this will be the shortest year in my life - which suits me perfectly! I am really looking for...
Sleepless Research
It's almost 6 am and I am still wide awake. I have been pretty tired after the flight here and today I somehow managed to sleep until 4 pm; so of course I'm not tired. And it doesn't help that the ...
Red Details
I've been googling weddings that have a red theme, and there are so many gorgeous details that I want to include in ours. We haven't gotten very far in the planning process (after all, there's a ye...
Possible Location for the Reception 2
Today we went to see another possible location for our reception - Hardeman-Sams House in Athens. It is an old, antique house, with a very vintage feel to it. It is in a great location, and the out...
I've Ordered My Dress!
My wedding dress will be here by the end of July! I can't believe I have actually ordered it. I just hope it ends up looking as good as it did at the store. It also didn't hurt that I got it half o...
Trying On Wedding Dresses
Here are a few pictures of two of the wedding dresses I tried on this Saturday (I will of course not be posting pictures of the one I am going to wear in my wedding). I already had a favorite when ...
Alfred Angelo Appointment
I had an appointment at Alfred Angelo's Bridal at 4'oclock today. I could hardly sit still all day because I was so excited to go; and when we got there it definitely exceeded all of my expectation...
Alfred Angelo
This Saturday we have gotten an appointment at an Alfred Angelo bridal store in Atlanta! I am so excited. I can't stop looking through the dresses on his website. I already have a favorite dress, b...
Wedding Planner - Reception Location
The newest addition to my wedding planner scrapbook. A little over a week ago we visited Marshwood Hall, which is one of the places we are considering for our wedding ceremony and reception. I abso...
Red vs. White
I'm sitting here thinking about the details of our wedding. We have chosen red as a theme, and I would like the decorations and so on to match. I suppose roses are the most logical choice of flower...
Marshwood Hall
Today we went to see one of the reception locations we're considering. It's the very first we've been to, so we're definitely going to visit other places, but I have to admit that I already love Ma...
Our Progress So Far
I just found out that I've gotten both of the scholarships I applied for this year! I'm so excited. And seing as I work for the school, they pay my tuition - so everything that we won't need for li...
Possible Location for the Reception
I hate class presentations. Right now I'm sitting at home, practicing my presentation out loud. Somehow I even manage to mess it up when I'm only talking to myself. I always feel like I know the to...
Magazines for Inspiration
I never thought I would enjoy planning a wedding as much as I actually am. Or, I don't know if you can call it planning just yet, but it's really fun to brainstorm ideas and figure out what styles ...
Wedding Planner
Now I've bought everything I need for making my own wedding planner. It will a type of scrapbook, with notes, pictures, articles, contact information, and so on. Pretty much everything that will re...
Started Planning
Me and Andy just spent the last few hours discussing possible churches, and planning out our wedding budget. I know I will be stressed when I have to actually plan everything, but right now everyth...
Wedding Inspiration
Ah, I love red.
Research?
Wow, there is so much that I don't know about weddings. As a girl, you'd think I had everything planned and ready to go, but that's not at all the case. I was never one of the kids who dreamed abou...
Invitation Ideas
After reading through the wedding magazine I bought the other day, I've been thinking a lot about invitations. One of the websites the magazine mentioned was www.invitationsbydavidsbridal.com, and ...
Yesterday's Purchase
Here's yesterday's purchase. I still can't believe that I actually have a reason to buy wedding magazines now. It's not like I'll need them for a while (we'll have a long engagement), but I figured...
My Ring
It's been a week since we got engaged, and I still haven't quite gotten used to the idea. It will probably take a while for me to not think about it every hour, and then stop to smile when I rememb...
We're Engaged!
Andy proposed to me on Valentine's day, and I think he was barely even done talking before I had accepted. Waterproof makeup had definitely been a great choice that morning. It was really a perfect...
