Time to get on a treadmill
A big family #wedding is coming up in January and I thought it is a good time to get back in shape. Though I love #walking, I cannot go for long walks regularly so I have decided to use an old #treadmill in the hou
It's good to relax
After several weeks of running around for at least one day every weekend, I finally think I have both days to myself for this one. This month so far Mr C and I were at a concert in #London on the 3rd, visited #Manchester on the 11th, celebrated our #weddi
Mother of the Bride: Wedding Day
My daughter and her fiance were officially "hitched" (their wording) on Saturday, October 17, 2015. It was a beautiful October day, with the sun shining and the skies blue, but the temperatures hovered in the mid-40s with brisk winds. To the credit of the
Mother of the Bride: 60 Days and Counting
Sixty days until the big event now! I've been cool as a cucumber in the months preceding this, but am beginning to get the jitters for my daughter and her fiance. Everything up until now has moved forward as planned, but there is still so much that must ha
Decisions, Decisions
Sixty-seven days to my daughter's wedding. I have nothing beyond a slight farmer's tan (lower three-fourths of arms, face and neck). My dress for the wedding is sleeveless and a bit more low-cut in front and back than my usual summer shirts. Must look dece
Mother of the Bride: 67 Days and Counting
The year leading up to what will be, for our family, the only big wedding in decades has passed by much too quickly. You would think a year's notice would be plenty of time to organize an event without any last-minute anxiety, but such has not been the cas
Book #32 of 2015 : Four Funerals and a Wedding by Jill Smolowe
I have read 32 books this year. This most recent one is called "Four Funerals and a Wedding : Resilience in a Time of Grief" by Jill Smolowe. It is a non-fiction book of 243 pages. I saw this on the shelf at our local library and borrowed it but aft
How to be a Budget Bride
Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm thrifty. I like finding good deals and I especially like not paying full price for something. When I first got engaged, I panicked a little bit. Weddings are giant sinkholes of money. I don't have thousands of dollars t
Wedding Wowza: Well, Isle be!
On Saturday I had an appointment at a bridal salon in the tiny town of Loomis, Nebraska which is about 45 minutes away from where I live. The reason I was willing to make the drive is because unlike the two shops in my town, these lovely people actually ca
Wedding Woes: Unmentionable Edition
Sometimes, you just gotta start and everything else falls into place. After getting home from work this morning, I wanted to crawl back into bed and never leave. Will and I had lunch together and I still didn't want to be alive. When he went to wo
Wedding Woes: Perfection (f)or Bust!
Earlier today, I was slipping downward. I didn't like myself and I didn't like my life. Instead of wallowing in my dark cloud, I broke through and made myself do something new, something I hadn't really done before. I went for a bra fitting. My mom has bee
I'm kerboggled!
So, I'm just ordered our wedding guestbook. Yay! Right? But, I hesitated and I don't know why and I don't know how I feel about it. I'm..Lemme take a couple steps back and fill you in on what's going on right now. Very recently, I signed the paperwork sol
I might be the craziest Bride in the History of crazy Brides
I don't consider myself a "bridezilla" (even though I do like things done my way) but I do consider myself frugal, extremely frugal. I've called myself a cheap bitch on more than one occasion. If I can get it on sale or with a coupon, I will. Which is why
Today May 23, 2015 is the wedding anniversary of my parents
It was May 23, 1975 when my father and my mother got married. That was a long years ago. They are going to celebrate today as their 40th Wedding Anniversary - May 23, 2015. But maybe for sure, my mother together with my sister visits another place. The

Good morning or whatever part of the day it is for you. Today is Monday March 23, 2015, my first post-wedding post. They tell me it was a beautiful ceremony. I’ll have to take their word for it. I barely remember it. I was a bit stressed. If someone

Please share your best ideas for a Wedding Gift
Even though I enjoy gift giving, I confess, I'm not the best at picking out #wedding gifts. If the couple has a wedding #registry that helps, but not every couple does. Sometimes, I just give money. It doesn't feel too thoughtful to me, but then again, eve

Wedding Ring: Let's try this again...
I'm tentative to say, I found a(nother) wedding ring I like. Before this whole thing, I had no idea I was so picky when it came to jewelery. But I guess a wedding or engagement ring is a much bigger deal than just everyday jewelery. That could be part of w

Our Ringless Engagement

How to Get Married
When you go to a #wedding, it's hard not to compare it to your own wedding or other #weddings you've been to or heard about. Wedding traditions also change over the years. Today people in America are no longer expected to fit into a tradition, whereas fift
Wedding Trip Haze

Just a Heads Up on Future Plans
