But thank-you cards are expected, and I've been very good about sending them out. So I feel pretty bad that someone isn't going to get a card. Maybe they'll realize it, contact me in a month and make sure I actually got the crockpot. (I did! And thank you, whoever you are!) Have you ever received an anonymous gift? What did you do about it? What should I do about it? ]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/do-you-know-this-crockpot.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/do-you-know-this-crockpot.html Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:48:21 -0600 But the wedding ....... so much fun!]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/married-and-moved.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/married-and-moved.html Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:35:20 -0600
















Here comes the ... me!
It. Was. Perfect. I thought I might come out of it feeling different, but no. I'm just the same old me with a different name and another ring on my finger. And I couldn't be happier about it. So as an old married lady who's been there and done that, I offer my Top Five Things You've Always Wanted to Know About Your Wedding but Were Afraid to Ask: ]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/my-wedding-been-there-done-tha.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/my-wedding-been-there-done-tha.html Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:47:13 -0600 For awhile. Just two very stressful days away from the big day. Part of me can't believe it's here; the other part of me is ready for it to be over. Neither is true, and there is lots to do, so I'll see you all on the other side. But I'll have a new name! http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/so-long-for-now.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/so-long-for-now.html Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:11:33 -0600 This is one of those things. Hopefully your groom's exes aren't totally nuts like the women in that story, but the article does start good discussion on whether it's OK to put all of your wedding details for everyone to see. This is the age of self-importance where one thinks everyone wants to know everything they're doing ("Adrienne is making a pizza!" "Adrienne is catnapping."), but maybe there are some things that should be left unsaid. Too late for this girl, though! Five more days, friends. Just five more days. Thanks for all the little e-mails and messages of encouragement; I feel like I'm running a marathon! But I'm off to kickboxing -- yes, kickboxing, so watch out. ]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/brides-need-another-worry.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/brides-need-another-worry.html Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:46:19 -0600 GONNA GET MA-A-A-ARIED! Ladies (and maybe two gentlemen I know reading this), our Taylor has flown off to sunny San Diego to get married this Sunday. *alk;fglk;jadfhiyoaeriheahkler* Can you believe it's already here? I can hardly get over the fact that it seems like just yesterday we were talking about how we wished the big days would already come, and now they're knocking down our doors. Eek! Congratulations, Tizzle! http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/going-to-the-chapel-and-shes.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/going-to-the-chapel-and-shes.html Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:34:33 -0600 But now I, and Matt, need to float on our feet in the middle of a crowd of 200. Ah! It was already hard enough narrowing down what song to dance to (hint: the King sings it), but we completely procrastinated on signing up for dance lessons. We thought we'd be paying for it, with our first lesson just 12 days before the big day, but our instructor is kinda awesome! My second left foot could soon be all right. ]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/how-to-not-look-ridiculous-on.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/08/how-to-not-look-ridiculous-on.html Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:43:32 -0600 cheezburger cats I had to look at today?! A LOT, a lot more than the amount of food I've had that even resembles a cheezburger in the past several months. Candy: I miss you. Remember when we were friends? I could use you for a sugar jolt. Anywhoodle, Matt and I are not going on a honeymoon (gotta get to Denver and start working), so I am trying to schedule some relaxation time. ..... HAHAHA! HA! Ha ... we're only 17 days away. (Taylor is 11, just in case you are all keeping up, and I know you are.)]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/07/exhaustedface-hi-thats-me.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/07/exhaustedface-hi-thats-me.html Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:53:44 -0600 extreme cosmetic surgery, such as Botox, to your bridesmaids. But according to The New York Times, injecting your best friends' faces with botulism is the newest way to say, "I love you!" and "Thanks for being a part of my special day!" Really? People are willing to do this? I guess some women would be stoked to score some free enhancement, but apparently it's sometimes mandatory.]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/07/file-this-one-under-crazy.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/07/file-this-one-under-crazy.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:43:27 -0600

Why so soon? I would have been perfectly fine planning a wedding while working, but planning that and a move is a different, ugly beast. We don't have a place to live in Denver yet -- you do the math. (No seriously, it's really hard, and I was a journalism major and can't do long division!!) The good news is that I'll be blogging here until after we arrive in Denver, so this is not goodbye! Now the other announcement, which is surprising and terrifying: My wedding coordinator has left Hotel Derek. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

It's a completely appropriate introduction for an amazingly fun bachelorette party with my girls. (Except poor Becko, who was home sick.) The United States was well-represented this weekend in Austin, which I've decided is the world's best place to have a bachelorette. The food is cheap and delicious, nearly everything is walkable and the drinks are free (or $2). Seven girls + cheap drinks + hot tops + ridiculous '80s/'90s dance party = hilarious pictures.]]> http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/06/party-on-wayne.html http://www.beloblog.com/KHOU_weddingbelles/2008/06/party-on-wayne.html Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:41:38 -0600
