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!!

Blogger Galore!

I have not been blogging for a while because as usual things have been crazy with school and things have been pretty much at a standstill with the wedding. But I got a renewed vigor to blog thanks to one my dearest friends becoming a new follower and restarting her own blog, which I love and I'm not just saying that because I know her. Its very inspirational and always brings me back to earth.

So, whats new in my life. I am a blogger on another website now called PNN.com and I highly recommend it. You get to read all these posts from other people and there are tons of people to comment on your posts. Honestly, I like it better than facebook and its more stimulating than staring at people's pictures. My link is

in case you ever want to check it out. I'm supposed to be vying for a position there but its soo much fun that I just enjoy doing it. And this is a pretty calm week for me so I have the opportunity to blog a lot.

I found a few things that might work well for the wedding. This is a picture of some centerpieces. It takes the basic concept of flowers and makes them a little more unique.








I also found this amazing website where you can design your own place cards and etc before you purchase them or in my case, design so I know how to do it myself. I'm considering becoming a DIY kind of bride. I don't really feel comfortable just having other people do everything, I am semi creative and I would like to add some of my own touches at the wedding.
Its called After Your Party and its kinda cool. I also like that you can use this site for any event, not just weddings. So your next birthday party or whatever, you should check them out!

Ok i'm done plugging for these people. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I have actually been quite the busy bee in my absence. The question of my life right now is whether I should have a wedding planner or just go to an event design company. I found a really good wedding coordinator that I like and I found this event design company that does it all. They even do flowers! Doesn't that mean I should just cut out the middle man? I am leaning towards the event company but I would still need a Day of Coordinator. I don't want anyone stressing me out with table mishaps or people who weren't invited trying to get in, and I know those things will happen. Does anyone know of a good Day of Coordinator or does anyone willingly want to put themselves in such a position? Lol...

Future Authoress in your prescence

I am a woman who enjoys hobbies, albeit I have dabbled in a few. I am what one would call a serial hobby participater. I like crocheting so I purchased a book and started to create a fabulous scarf. Pretty soon, my scarf started to become narrower and I was unable nor had the patience to fix it. I nixed that hobby shortly after. Then I went through my friendship bracelet phase. I bought loads of yarn and had a grand ole time making intricate knots. My keychains were ridiculous, I could not find my keys. I grew out of that phase, it was a tad juvenile for my taste. The one hobby that has always been steadfast was my love for words. I love to write and create stories. I have seriously been thinking about getting published as soon as i finish typing my stuff up. I am actually starting on a new novel, though I am not sure where I will find the time with school and all this wedding planning business.
