Sunday I got an email from The Knot letting me know about two events at Solutions Bridal, right near the apartment. One of them I can't make, since I'll be out of town having an early Christmas with my grandmother. The other, I can get to easily. My question

We spent this weekend at Mom's for Thanksgiving, as planned. Lots of talk centered around our wedding, especially since I had all the Hard Rock information and color cards to pass on to my aunt. Or, more specifically, my aunt, uncle, grandma, mom's former

Remember that quote from the restaurant scene in "Mrs. Doubtfire"? Well, I'm still friendly with most of my exes. I'd never, never take any of them back if they begged me. . .but they have turned out to be better friends anyway. Getting back to the Robin

My mom passed that quote on to me today. Don't know where she read it, but it sounds wise to me. Why did I say that? Will and I had another guest list spat yesterday. He urged me to start thinking about people to trim off the list. Trouble is, my family

I'm still getting contact info for much of my family, at least on Mom's side. I've been in touch with my aunt back and forth confirming numbers, and tonight I finally confirmed them all, and made some more phone calls. Mom has 5 cousins, only one of whom

In my last entry, I mentioned our color scheme: that deep purple, with blue, and a possible tie-in color(cream or ecru? Not sure yet). I've been slowly thinking about everything associated with our colors, from dresses and flowers to invitations. I've

Since I talked to Will last, and we agreed to go hue-hunting, we actually decided on our colors. Took a trip to Home Depot, and looked at several different brands of paint(and their samples) before we found the shades we wanted. He chose "proper purple",

Since I last wrote, Will and I have "decided" on our venue. It was between Grand Bohemian and Hard Rock Hotel, but Hard Rock it is. Long story short, their staff is more helpful, and willing to do more for us. We'll probably have to wait to book, but

My mom came to visit as promised, so we took her to the Grand Bohemian, and she definitely liked it. Fell in love with the atmosphere and all that class, is more like it! Luckily, we got one or two more details from Traci, one of the event staff who was

Will and I went to view the Citrus Club today. We ended up with mixed feelings: might be good for the rehearsal dinner, but probably not for the wedding or reception. Once we walked in, I felt extremely out of place. Not so for Will(his stepdad is a member

I think I finally did it: I gave in to The Knot! At least the blog part . I've never done a "specific" blog like this, but I'll give it a try. I just took some quizzes, and I was surprised, and happy with, the results. They actually mirrored our relationship!
