It’s been two whole years since we said our “I do’s” and agreed to spend our lives together. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. Â It has been simply amazing. Â Yes, I know that marriage is hard work, but it doesn’t really feel like it’s been hard. Â There have been times of compromise of [...]

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 [...]

We left the happy couple and headed home to quickly feed Oscar and grab some last minute items.  We were on our way to the reception site when I received a phone call from my aunt asking how far away we were. Just a few miles, I replied, knowing that that could mean 15 minutes [...]

Saturday started out overcast and gray with a projected forecast of rain throughout the day. We didn’t have time to think about the weather though – we had a wedding and a reception to prepare. My sister left the house by 8:00 to do some last minute things to get ready and the rest of us [...]

If you’ve read this blog at all in the past couple of months, then you know that my sister’s wedding was this past weekend. You also know how much I was looking forward to it. What you probably don’t know, is how much work was involved. I actually did not know myself until a few [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
