Say Yes to the Dress…

I really should be in bed right now but “Say Yes to the Dress” is on and rooting me to the couch. Its interesting though – I woke up so down and haven’t been sleeping well at all. I’ve had a bit of a headache all day (please don’t be the beginning of the flu!) [...]

Waiting for answers on flowers, waiting for answers on tipping, waiting for video packages, waiting for invitations… That and going in circles on some of the same topics [...]

Destination Wedding Planning – Biggest Gripe

If you’re a couple planning a destination wedding, you very well may ’second’ my biggest planning gripe – the lack of professional websites / online portfolios!

Timeline: 8 Weeks until Aruba

I hate to say I’m kind of at a low point at the moment… not getting much (anything) done. Really there isn’t much to do. Its just a matter of picking out a few things – cake, flowers and some music. It’s just in my nature to over-complicate certain things. Given there aren’t many things [...]
