My weekend began on Friday with a relaxing drive to Chattanooga and a sunset behind the clouds due to the rain. Chattanooga being my [...]

October 9, 2012Bridesmaids: Belle Events Edition
September 5, 2012Brides, if you’re like me, you’ve been thinking about your perfect wedding for years.

Who’s Wedding is it??
August 28, 2012I was talking to a friend about this blog post yesterday and she said, “Oh, please tell new brides (if they don’t already know) that it’s 80% their wedding, and 20% their mother’s wedding… or the other way around. Whatever, somehow you’re getting screwed.” I literally laughed out loud. The bride wants a fairly small [...]

August 21, 2012Last night one of my friends said, “I wonder when the tradition of getting down on one knee started.” I thought, “blog post!” While pondering my pending research, I figured that getting on one knee is a way for men to show their gentle, romantic- even submissive- side.

Making exact change
July 31, 2012The other day I was in line to pay for something-or-other. The cashier told me that I owed a dollar amount and 19 cents. If you are like me, the change purse in your wallet is perpetually full of pennies. No, I did not hand the woman 19 pennies, but I did take the [...]
After the wedding
July 24, 2012Other than the actual wedding ceremony and reception, your engagement is a time to transition two lives into one. Some big pieces to think about are where you will live and how to change your name. More than likely you will find a larger space, whether it’s an apartment or house, so that all of [...]
