From Single To Married to Baby bio picture

Hi there!

Welcome to my little corner of the web. My name is Tabitha. I live in the DC Metro area with my sweet husband (I call him the CPA. Not in real life... just here on the blog), our son Henry, our dog Oscar, and our cat Sophie.

I married a bit later in life at the ripe old age of 36 and had Henry, my first child, in 2010 at age 38. I quit my job as an HR Manager in November and have been trying to figure out this full-time mom thing. It's a lot harder than I thought and a lot more rewarding than I ever imagined. Oh - and I just started my own photography business too so life is busier than ever.

And that's what this blog is about. It's my journey from being single, to being married, and to now... having a baby.

Married Life – Day One (Pt. 5)

Posted in All Posts, Married Life, Wedding

To this day, I don’t know what happened with our guests while we were outside taking photos. I heard something about appetizers and I remember seeing a fountain in the foyer surrounded by food, but other than that, I have no idea.

I do know that the caterers “flipped” the room which is another way of saying that they removed the chairs and brought in all of the tables. By the way, the chairs looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. We spent a good hour on Friday night putting the slip covers on and tying the bows.

Someone had everyone ready when we came back in (I can only assume it was my beloved aunt who is so great at those things). The maid-of-honor and best man went in first.

Our turn was next. Much better than the first entrance, I can assure you. No shaking legs, just lots of smiles.

When we had previously set up the layout with the coordinator, she had said that most couples have a table at the front of the room so people could see them. I don’t know what I was envisioning, but I didn’t really care for the idea of having us sitting in front of everyone so they could watch us eat.

It turned out really nice though. We only sat for about 20 minutes anyway, just long enough to scarf down some food. I do like the way it looked too, so pretty and elegant.

No sooner did we get settled in, than our aunt, acting as emcee, told everyone to get in line for the buffet that had been set up in the foyer. Again, I never actually saw it. It’s one of the benefits of it being your wedding (and paying for it) that they bring you plates of prepared food so you don’t have to get up. Very nice. It actually gave us time to eat while everyone else was getting their food.
