Today was one of the days I was most excited for… The day I bought Napkin’s wedding band! I remember two years ago when I had first moved in with him and had somehow dragged him to the mall… only to have him drag me into a Reed’s Jewelry to look at wedding rings for … Continue reading

My (Potential) Catering Nightmare.
As my wedding planning goes full steam ahead I naturally have been thinking about food. We have been back and forth on when the ceremony and reception were going to take place… and that plays a big part in what kind of food we were going to serve– but most importantly we HAVE to stay … Continue reading
I Want You To Feel Beautiful!

She went to yard sales, estate sales and flea markets looking for shiny treasures every weekend and would take them home … Continue reading
So Here We Are…
On July 3rd, 2011 Napkin and I got engaged. We have been dating for six years… but marriage was never something that I saw as right around the bend. We have always traveled well together and we snuck away to his grandparents’ charming beach cottage in NC for a weekend. On the last night, Napkin … Continue reading
