The Sweetest Occasion

It has been a really really long time since I last updated you on my weight and fitness goals and with under two months to go until the wedding, it seems like it’s time to get back on the wagon of regular updates. Overall, I’ve been doing fairly well the last couple of months. There [...]

It dawned on me last weekend while I was visiting our Saturday evening reception venue for the first time in many months that I don’t believe I’ve ever shared it with you! Luckily, I took a ton of photos last week so I have lots to share. Our reception is being held at Edgewood Resort [...]

Last week while I was excitedly and happily pushing my body to the brink of complete exhaustion in NYC for the National Sationery Show, I finally got the call from the bridal shop that my dress was in – woohoo! While I didn’t have any time to be excited last week, I made sure to [...]

I know I mentioned last week that I would be in NYC for the National Stationery Show until late this week, but I didn’t want to leave you completely hanging while I’m up to my neck in a sea of gorgeous paper. The internet at the hotel is a bit slow, so while I can’t upload [...]

First up, we met up at the [...]

Between exciting/busy times at work aka Smock {my job also includes working for sister company Bella Figura and parent company Boxcar Press, if you recall} preparing for the National Stationery Show next week in NYC, wedding planning, my bridal shower this weekend [...]

This past weekend was one of the most fun in recent memory. A group of some of my favorite people in the world and I ventured back to our alma mater for cocktails, dinner, and an evening spent in a favorite corner booth with big glass mugs of mixed drinks and slices of some of [...]

A few weeks after our engagement photo session, our photographer surprised us in the mail with the cutest miniature album of photos. As part of our package, we got to select one of the photos from our engagement session to have printed at 11×17…but it took me months to finally decide on a photo to [...]

A couple of months ago, my mother and I went out dress shopping. After having finally settled on my dress and the bridesmaid dresses, this time we were shopping for her although we didn’t actually intend to make a purchase that day. We were hoping to simply narrow styles down to a silhouette or two [...]
