Planning with Martha


This past weekend I forced myself to head over to Barns and Nobles and pick up a wedding planner...since its kind of hard to share my inspiration that I have shoved in to a little folder in my computer.

Man oh man the wedding section there is quite compact and has everything from inspiration books to guidelines for brides, grooms and bridesmaids. The options were endless, I looked through every binder and book that was available after an hour I decided on good-old Martha Stewart, The Keep Sake Wedding Planner.

When looking for a planner I wanted something that could help (attempt) to keep me organized. Something to force me to make decisions when it came to numbers, something to help me understand a seating chart, and more importantly how to tie a bow tie!! While I was at B&N I figured it was a good time to get my sister ( maid of honor), my mother , and Joey each their own book on weddings.

I actually think they all appreciated it, mostly Joey. This will let him know that I may have wedding on the brain but it’s just a quick little illness, one that gets cured within a year, and the after math is full of thank you cards and gift wrap.
Went and looked at the venue and north bank this weekend both look amazing ….but they are kind of small. Getting together with a wedding planner this week from Bliss Wedding in Columbus, Ohio

Wedding planning


My boyfriend - i guess i should call him my fiance and i just got engaged on September 20t 2009 at eagle lake at Lake Tahoe. It was very exciting and yes was surprised and a blubbering mess.
After he proposed and i was blowing snot bubbles out of my nose like a Chihuly Chandler i realized how extremely nervous i was.
I wasn't nervous about my future
I wasn't nervous about the wedding
I was nervous about planning the wedding

with my mom.

Where do you even begin ...how do you know what format to make the excel spread sheet in for your guests
how many people is to many
how soon after we are engaged do we have to start planning
Do we get engagement photos
who hosts the engagement party
what do you do if your parents are divorced
why cant i have two photographers
where do we have it
when do we have it
How much is to much
A rabbi or a friend
Since the wedding will be sometime in the fall do i have to use fall colors


it makes me want to pluck my eyelashes out
