(Except for mine, of course ... ha.) First twin (and fellow Texas ex! Hook 'em!) Jenna Bush will marry Henry Hager back on the Crawford Ranch on May 10. The two have dated for several years, and they look really happy in pictures. (Yeah, I read a lot of celeb/gossip blogs, so?)
This weekend I gave up on making my own centerpieces. Yeah, I thought I was going to pull a Martha and knock out the world's cheapest, cutest table decorations, but finding flowers, vases, mirrors AND candles proved to be too much for my fragile mind. Plus, flowers are something I put on the "meh" list: Things I don't want to spend that much money on.
My florist is now doing the bulk of the centerpiece work, but she suggested I go to the dollar store and pick up the bubble vases. Why? She says people will walk away with them. Being a bridesmaid can be a bum deal. It can be depressing, embarrassing, emotional and, worst of all, expensive. I've been there approximately 5,932,082,278,939,478 times. Because of that, I thought I'd be a pretty reasonable bride -- you know, inexpensive dresses, no major demands. But I thought wrong. I am butt-crazy obsessed with feet, people. So shoe me.
Taylor does an excellent job of reminding me how many days, weeks or months we have to go till our respective weddings. She's not here today, but I know she would have walked in and said, "FOUR MONTHS, DUDE!" because she said that six days ago for her four-month date. I told myself I'd take the month of April off, because its days were my last of freedom before an onslaught of events: Matt's graduation (HALLELUJAH! ADIOS, ANN ARBOR!), Matt's move to NYC for summer (sadness), Matt's apartment situation ...
WAIT. This is all Matt-related. OK so there are other events, such as some bridal showers, menu planning and the constant event: maintaining weight/goal of losing a tiny bit more. I just wanna give a shoutout to the foods I miss most. I did it. I sent out my wedding invitations, and it was horrifying. It's not, per se, the actual wedding that's horrifying. I mean, there are plenty of scary things about it: the cost, guest lists, my consistent inability to shrink my posterior... but none of those were on my mind when I pulled up to the menacing, blue metal box at the post office.
VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) -- A weekend wedding turned into an unforgettable first night for these two newlyweds. Police said a bride and groom spent their first night as a married couple in jail after their wedding party at a Vallejo home got out of hand.
When police had to return a second time to the home Saturday night, officers stunned both the groom and his cousin with a Taser when they both became aggressive towards the officers. A good argument AGAINST the pricey open bar. - amc There's good clean fun, and then there's this: Wedding Belles was among hundreds of Houston brides who tore through two specially-made, 100-foot-long French vanilla wedding cakes at the Bridal Symposium Saturday. Though this blogger would've rather eaten her way through it, I got dirty with the rest of the brides-to-be, sloshing through piles of frosting, searching for prizes. |
