Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Tasty cakes

One week left!! Its so freakin close...ahh...
Today the fiance and I did our cake tasting, too bad we were too sick to really enjoy any of the delicious cake. Last night we had Popeyes because we like to indulge ourselves and we woke up today feeling sooo bad...I literally took a small piece of each cake and dipped my fork in each frosting gingerly. I'm a big cake eater so you know that was hard for me. But I was so afraid of eating anything since my stomach was still...not well...lol. But the fiance and I make a great team; we picked our flavors and cake design super fast! Our cake is super simple; it is covered in ivory frosting with purple beading around each layer and purples roses scattered around the layers as well. It is also covered with curlicues on each layer; it is a very traditional looking cake and my fiance picked it out. I was so excited that he had an opinion on our wedding cake. Here are some cakes that I think are nice;






Then we met up with the limo company and booked our limo. Now we just have to work out the logistics of everything since we are only having one limo. Tis the woes of having your ceremony and reception at two different venues...
Tomorrow we meet with the reception manager and finalize all the other details...like discuss how we went over our 200 people reception...sigh...
Monday is shopping today for all the stuff I have been putting off...so we'll see about that.
On another note...
I have always wanted false eyelashes for my wedding day...my make up artist doesn't know how to do it...Any tips or suggestions?

One week! So exciting! Those are gorgeous cakes. And it's a shame you're ill, but at least you're getting it out of the way now! Rest up so you feel better on your big day :) Good luck!

So sorry you’ve been feeling sick, but way to go for getting things done! You’re almost there, lady! :) I’m sorry your artist doesn’t know how to do false eyelashes, and they can be a bit tricky if they’re not glued on securely. The last thing you want is the lashes falling off!

Perhaps you can pick up a pair and practice throughout the week, or see if a makeup counter can help you the day-of. Basically, it’s a matter of putting a thin strip of glue along your lash line and then attaching the lashes. And if you do use them, be prepared for them to feel very odd right after they’re put on. At my trial, mine really bothered me at first, but after about five minutes, I couldn’t even feel them anymore.
