You may have read a bit about my quest to have some Bhangra music at our reception. If you’re not familiar with it, we often think of it as “Bollywood” music. My fiance is Punjabi and has grown up with this music. I’ve loved it for a long time but don’t really ‘know’ it that [...]

The highlight of my month!?!? My Jimmy Choos have just arrived! I am so in love with these shoes (and of course the wonderful man that bought them for me)! I have to admit that I just picked probably the most impractical wedding shoes given that we’re having our ceremony on the beach and dinner [...]

Wow! 9 weeks from now we will be IN Aruba making final preparations for the wedding weekend. Seems so much more real to see that number in the single digits. That’s just over two months. Why do I keep thinking I still have three months?

Accomplished in the last week: not much I’m afraid to say… [...]

When selecting a hotel I found TripAdvisor.com to be very helpful! When reading any sort of review, I have a tendency to kind of give less weight to reviews that are extreme, whether it be too angry or too glowing. And be sure to look at reviews for the time of year you plan to [...]

You might be figuring out that I’m a ‘product junky’. I thought I’d pass along this deal I just got in an email – I haven’t used this product yet, but think I might just have to order some up with this “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” deal. I’m putting together an “Emergency Bag” for [...]

One of my favorite sites for inspiration: stylemepretty.com. Inspiration Boards, Photo Galleries, Blog posts (one of my favs which features the photo, left), DIY, look books and more… I could spend HOURS on here…

The main feature at our Welcome Party in Aruba will Mehndi. My fiance is Indian and I am American. Our wedding will be a western non-denominational wedding but Mehndi is one Indian tradition we look forward to incorporating. When I first started looking for a henna artist in Aruba I was having a difficult [...]

Well, 10 weeks from today we will be in Aruba preparing to welcome guests to the welcome party! Unfortunately this has been one of my more unproductive weeks. The only good news is I have finally reached my ‘pre-fiancé’ weight and am within 4 pounds of the weight I want to be at for my [...]

Just want to share a wonderful site visit experience that “Jingle96″ shared on the Aruba.com Wedding & Honeymoon forum. Our choosing the Marriott over the Westin was a really difficult decision. I have no doubt they will do a fantastic job and can’t wait to hear how it all goes! 

The WESTIN rocks–our site visit experience!!!

It’s [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only bride that gets obsessed with nearly every aspect of her appearance before a wedding, but boy am I ready for this to be done! I think a destination beach wedding creates even more pressure. While I will be married in a traditional gown I will spend a good [...]
