In the midst of work being insanely busy, moving, trying to finalize wedding plans, and everything else, my back decided to act up. This time last year, it did something similar that resulted in me having a microdiscectomy last May. Unlike last year, I got an MRI right away. All signs point to “normal,” but [...]
It’s been a busy week

Let’s see. In the past week, I’ve gotten my finished Save the Dates (which look great!), split the band on my engagement ring, scheduled my first dress fitting, and scheduled time to pick out bridesmaid dresses (with at least two of my bridesmaids).
Let’s talk about the ring, shall we? My fiancé bought the ring in [...]

I’m an early adopter. I’ve been an early adopter since before I was the only girl in my dorm with a computer. I love technology and gadgets and cool geeky toys. I have my iPhone 3G, my PS3, my Roku, and my Kindle. There’s some functional overlap that’s happened over time. My Roku eliminated my [...]
A week in review and some geeking
My week can best be summed up by the phrase “insanely busy.” Somehow in the midst of incredibly long, non-stop days at work, I managed to squeeze in a little bit of wedding planning – still finishing up music details and a few other things. Next project is bridesmaids dresses. I need to get that [...]
I’m a bad blogger

My poor neglected blog. It seems between work, planning a wedding, looking for housing, beginning to move, the holidays, and a long list of other To Do’s, blogging has fallen to the bottom of the list.
Let’s see, I’ve…
- Chosen an invitation vendor and finalized the Save the Dates,
- Mostly finalized booking music,
- Still haven’t wrangled [...]
Invitations and more invitations
So, I’ve ordered three invitation samples so far and been happy with exactly zero of them. The first one was dreary and on flimsy, shiny paper that was completely wrong for the invite. The second one was a pocket invitation and the paper was just cheap and horrid. The last one, well, I liked that [...]
Forget the invites! I’m using notebook paper.
Wedding invitations. Engraved, letterpress, thermography, and digital. Every shade of paper under the sun, except the color you actually want. A bazillion colors of ink, but the color you like isn’t available on the paper you want. The invitations are customizable except for the part you don’t particularly like.
And they’re all ridiculously expensive.
*sigh*

The choice of wedding venue for us was something of an odd journey (as I mentioned in an earlier post). The restaurant we ended up choosing has a lot of sentimental value in my family and I’m very excited about having the wedding there. One of the advantages is having a choice of ceremony sites. [...]
Nothing up my sleeve… oh wait, there aren’t any
Picking up where I left off a few entries ago, prior to interruptions from visiting parents and unexpected surgical procedures, I was walking through how things had evolved from the original wedding plans I had cooked up in my head. So, we’d gone from 40 to 140 guests, backyard to restaurant, and from one date [...]
There were incidents and accidents. There were hints and allegations

One of the most interesting parts of planning a wedding is the “Oh hey, I know so and so who does $foo” or the equally amusing, “Oh hey, did you know so and so family friend does $foo and is really darn good at it?” I’ve had a lovely surprise of that sort over the [...]
