August is right around the corner and it will mark our three year wedding anniversary. Â In honor of the momentous occasion, I finally did something I should have done years ago – I put together our wedding album. Â Now I could have gone the expensive route and paid $1,000 to have a special book made [...]

Remember how not too long ago I finally ordered my wedding prints after being married for almost two years?  (In April of this year, to be exact.)  If you will remember, it took much gentle prodding from my photographer, but I had finally ordered our large wedding prints. I was excited to see them when [...]

How do you know when you should get married? This has always been a difficult question for me, which might explain why it took so long for me to tie the knot with someone. Even now when I’m the one who is asked by friends, I struggle with the answer. I remember my years spent [...]

Friends had told me that our wedding day would leave us feeling exhausted by the end.  I think that thought was in the back of my mind the entire time we were planning the day.  It is the reason that the ceremony, lunch and reception were scheduled to last only four hours and that the picture-taking was scheduled for [...]

We weren’t in the car for very long. Our first stop was only a half mile away at the National Arboretum’s Capitol Columns. It was a little bit of a hike, but well worth it. The weather was still nice so I didn’t mind it much. My feet on the other hand, they were starting [...]

Everything was happening so quickly!  The dancing was done. The cake was eaten. The toast had been made and we had said hello to all of our guests. It was 1:30 p.m. and it was time to make our exit.  I couldn’t believe it was time to go already – where had the morning gone?  It [...]

Our first song was “The Hawaiian Wedding Song” by Andy Williams. It fit perfectly with our music selections as we went with classic pieces by Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin and Billie Holliday. And the CPA did a very nice job. I know he was worried and he does have rather large feet (15AAA) but he didn’t step [...]

The toast was complete so it was time to eat. The cake that is.  A funny thing about the cake – when it arrived, we didn’t think it was mine! Another wedding was taking place that evening so we just assumed the cake was theirs.    The cake was different enough from what I had ordered that I honestly [...]

 The reception was on a tight schedule. We had reserved the banquet room from the hours of 10-2:00 which didn’t leave a lot of time for dilly-dallying. It may sound hurried, but I wanted it that way actually. I didn’t want to force people to go to an all day thing so that they would [...]

 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 [...]
