Okay, let’s get this wrap-up started! I had a packed evening the Thursday night before the wedding. It was so great to have this time to spend with friends before the madness. First, a group of us met in the neighborhood park to practice our songs for the wedding reception. We were outdoors to accommodate…

Good morning internet, how are you? I’m so excited to be home and to share all the news from the past four weeks. Honestly, I must be the luckiest person in the world the way everything has turned out. From the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, to the show, to the entire honeymoon…it has all…

Hi everyone! We’re at the halfway point on our honeymoon trip; a perfect time to quickly touch base with you. As you saw briefly here and on Jordan’s blog, the wedding went perfectly and was so much fun. It took a few days for the awesomeness to fully sink in! We owe it largely to…

After a 6 day work week and all this talk of the sad state of the economy a girl can use a bit of “R&R”. So I thought that I would share with you a few of my favorite beauty products from Trader Joe’s and all under $10. For my curly hair I don’t shampoo…

As Rob said yesterday: it’s the beginning of the beginning! In just a few hours, our wedding and vacation officially start. Guests are coming into town from all over the country. We’re getting well wishes from co-workers, friends and readers. People are offering to help left and right. And I appreciate it all! It’s been…

I have that sort of fine, curly hair that is difficult to control. It simultaneously needs to be encouraged to curl and discouraged to frizz. It gets mixed signals. My plan for Saturday requires letting it air dry into the most perfect natural curls before heading over to the salon for the low bun treatment.…

Our first out-of-towners arrived yesterday! My sister and her boyfriend landed from North Carolina in the afternoon. In a stroke of bad luck, she was in a pretty major car accident yesterday morning before their flight. Luckily, she wasn’t at fault and her car took all the damage. She and the dog escaped with only…

Last night, Rob and I gave an impromptu performance of our song for the wedding. We try to play it for groups of friends whenever we can to overcome stage fright for the big show. Everyone clapped at the end, so it couldn’t have been too bad (an absence of disastrous failure is our only…

Looking for some inspiration on Flickr and found this sweet, simple courthouse wedding in New York. Aren’t they adorable? From Juli’s photostream.
