Some News

Guess what??????? The love of my life just realized that I’m the love of his!!!

I apologize that I have been absent this past week, but my life got turned upside down by an incredible man who I can now call my own. I haven’t actually discussed with him how much I can share here, so I need to do that before I go telling you all the tiny details.;)I can just tell you that my fairy tale is coming true and I am the happiest girl on the planet.

Our hands… They are a perfect fit.:)

Posts may be a bit sparse in the next couple of weeks, but I don’t think it will be long before I have a TON of stuff to share. Please hang in there with me.

Portrait Session | A Little Bit Of Me

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far! I wanted to share some portraits I had taken by the very talented Laura Hernandez Photography. We did the shoot in one of my favorite spots in the whole wide world – a meadow that lies just behind my parents’ backyard! I have not had my portraits officially done before, just a few shots for the blog during another shoot, so it was a different experience! I felt a little silly but Laura was great at directing me and I love the way they turned out!:)

Thank you Laura!! Have a great day everyone! Back to wedding stuff tomorrow.;)

Sponsored Post | Suggestions For Composing A Backyard Wedding Reception

Hey everyone! Today we have Nick, sharing about his experience planning a backyard wedding, and how Restaurantware.com helped the process. Welcome, Nick!

There are a ton of tasks that go along with creating a fabulous backyard wedding reception, trust me, I know this first hand because my daughter and I just finished planning and undertaking her wedding reception which took place outside. I would like to talk to you about one of the hardest obstacles that we ran into which was choosing the right music to fit my daughter and her new husband’s tastes. Thankfully, they both love music from the 60’s and 70’s and with a minimal amount of research we found some wonderful romantic songs that aided us in achieving a very successful reception.

Docuvitae via Style Me Pretty

Here are some of the songs we used that got a ton of people excited, including daughter. Hopefully, you and your guests will enjoy them, too.

1.  “We’ve only just begun” by The Carpenters
2. “Chapel of Love” by The Dixie Cups
3. “At Last” by Etta James
4. “The way you look tonight” by Frank Sinatra (this one was my new son-n-law’s favorite.)

These were four of our very favorite songs of the night because they are just so romantic and inspiring especially for wedding receptions that we simply knew these wonderful musical wonders would be the perfect fit for my daughter’s special day.

Needless to say, the night was perfect and went off without a hitch. The weather was nice, the music was absolutely fantastic and my daughter was absolutely gorgeous. Matter of fact, everything was perfect right down to the remarkable eco-friendly catering tableware that we purchased from Restaurantware.com. Even now thinking of the beautiful tables that were scattered throughout the reception makes me fill up with pride. Honestly, they were probably the prettiest tables that I’ve ever seen because they had such lovely unique tableware placed upon them.

I hope you can use these song suggestions to create the reception of your dreams. In addition, if you take a minute to visit the online store where we got our fascinating catering tableware I am sure you will find the perfect tableware to complete your décor thus ensuring that your reception is a successful extravaganza.

Operation MmmBop | A Bride’s Efforts To Get Hanson At Her Wedding

This is just too fun, I had to share. Just discovered an article on ABC News about a bride who has had a life-long (well, since age 12) obsession with the band Hanson, and is doing everything she can to get them to play at her wedding. Read the rest of the story here.

Anyway, you can help! (Although I realize the likelihood that they will actually play at her wedding is slim to none, but let’s not be dream crushers.) “Like” the facebook page Operation MmmBop Wedding – the idea being that if they get enough likes, perhaps the band will hear of it and decide to show! Let’s help a sister out. You’ve gotta give props to a fully grown woman who still has a thing for the silliest boy band of all time. (No offense, Hanson lovers, it just had to be said.) I hope her dreams come true!

bree [capitolromance] - September 17, 2012 - 5:26 pm

SILLIEST?! I’m offended Colleen ;) I have some of their more recent albums and I LOVE them. Also, “Snowed In” is one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums. Just sayin’

emily - October 5, 2012 - 3:14 am

I’m with Bree on this one… Hanson’s latest album is nothing short of fantastic. They’re also great live (I’ve seen them five times!). People don’t believe me when I say that Hanson is my favorite band, but they’re such wonderful musicians, and they’ve really got staying power. I encourage you to check out this one called Give a Little: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56VPiS8dPDE. I hope you’ll agree that it’s a far cry from their adolescent Mmmbop!

Hanfan - October 7, 2012 - 1:10 pm

Good idea, shame she stole it and took the credit! Here’s the original http://hansonatmywedding.tumblr.com
