Sorry I’m so late in blogging guys! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks with lots of work on new ideas, posts, articles and such that are coming VERY soon. Of course while I work tonight I found something fun to play with, creating you bride avatar on The Knot. Such fun! Here’s what I came up with:
Thank you to everyone who came to the MADE OF HONOR 411 party. I hope you all had a great time! In case you were curious we had a little over 200 folks show up for some food, wine, and free prizes. I think everyone had a blast!
For today’s funny, I direct you to the Nearly Wed blog. Apparently a staffer at Real Simple who actually submitted a video to get a date with them to a wedding. The whole story is on the blog, but here’s the video. If you’ve seen the movie Wedding Crashers, you’re going to love the end.
I am absolutely positive that I am not the only woman who watched that last dance scene in Dirty Dancing with a secret thought of ….Wow, that would be awesome if I could do that… with Patrick Swayze there to catch me of course. And of course, once I met my sweet hubby, I thought how cool would it be if we could dance like that? Well, it looks like this bride managed to talk her fiance into it for their first dance. How awesome is this?!?
It may not be relevant, but I just had to say how much I’m in love with the show Storm Chasers on the Discovery Channel. I adore the show and I live vicariously through it, considering this is what I thought I’d be doing with my life. My how plans change! The show is such drama and I totally get caught up in it as I watch. Love, love, love it! I think back to my college days when I used to chase with my team. So much fun! We had some fun times and some very scary times and some exhilirating times. It certainly teaches you to respect nature and to beware of power. I remember very vividly a time when I was in a tiny car with one buddy and lightning was striking all around us. It was amazing and beautiful. Funny how you develop a sense of your surroundings and you can tell how things may turn wrong very quickly just by how it feels (like during an event, but that seems simpler). We departed the lightning flurry when we both had a feeling it would turn bad, and we were right. Did we go back? Of course! But it was a valuable lesson. Who knows? Maybe next year I’ll have time to go after a storm or two… Who’s with me?
This tip is more for the men than the ladies, but I had to show you! Check out this gold wedding ring box. Not only does it shine almost as much as the ring, but it includes a 2-inch LCD AND records and plays video. So, maybe capture that priceless moment and play it over and over? Have fun!
My hubbie adores the fact that the Wii is the #2 most wanted registered for gift on Amazon. Curious as to what other couples are registering for? Check it out at Amazon.com.
At a rehearsal tonight, the bride had great timing as they were each practicing placing the wedding ring on their loved one’s ring finger and the minister was giving the cue “and after you’ve placed the ring on his finger, he says…” The bride yelled “it burns, it burns!” I just love wedding rehearsals with laid back couples. :)
Since that is the traditional Aggie greeting, I think it’s appropriate here (since I am an Aggie). Welcome to Wendy’s world! Upon strong advice from a great friend, I’ve decided to start a blog. Check back here as I’m going to give you all kinds of tidbits, from tips on planning your wedding, vendor spotlights, and even a few funnies along the way. I hope you enjoy it! As a bonus, here’s your first funnie:
The best thing I heard all week was when sitting with a bride, her mother and the DJ for her wedding reception, mom and bride were describing the song list. Mom says to the DJ, “She wants ghetto bump, which I had to look up on Wikipedia to know what it was. Ghetto bump is her style.” BTW - this was a delightful country girl and her very domestic mother. What a great time!
