Right now I’m looking out of the window and the snow is coming down like crazy! So I’m taking my mind to a warmer place and thinking about our upcoming honeymoon plans. Our wedding planning has been relatively stress-free thus far, so it only seems right that I felt the need to drum up a…

A House Is Not A Home
Aside from getting married and spending the rest of my life with my love, one of the things that most excited me about getting engaged is creating a registry!!! I know it sounds so June Cleaver, but I love domestic activities like cooking and decorating…. cleaning not so much, but I’m just waiting to hit…
I Got 99 Problems….
I Got 99 Problems But My Wedding Ain’t One… As I look at my wedding countdown there are 99 short days until my wedding. Yesterday marked 100 days until the Driskell/Jones wedding and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day so it seems apropos that today would mark my next blog post. I’ve really been thinking about what…
You’ve Got Mail
It’s always exciting to get mail, especially when it’s an invitation to a big event like a wedding! When we began looking at wedding invitations I had a nonchalant attitude toward my planning journey. I thought of invitations as a necessary evil that I just wanted to purchase and send out. My apathy was showing…
Countdown to 2015
As I countdown to 2015, I’m filled with excitement and anxiety because I know I’m getting married this year! Even though my date is less than 5 months away, when you’re in a different year it seems like you have so much time. I’ve been planning for the last several months since my engagement and…
Best Dressed
One of the most fun parts of wedding planning was wedding dress shopping. It was also one of the most stressful. Though I went in knowing what silhouette I wanted, being thrown into a store with so many beautiful dresses made it hard to zero in on just one. Every store I went to (I…
Pinterest Problems
Phew, it’s been a while since I last blogged so I figured I would pick back up since I have a little downtime. Ask just about any girl about her dream wedding and before she’s gotten a ring on her finger she’s probably planned her future wedding in her head or electronically on Pinterest boards…
Love….
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always…
“You’re like the maid of dishonor”
First, I have to say that I think the movie “Bridemaids” is HILARIOUS… Second, I pray that nothing like this movie happens during my wedding experience! Well, except maybe having a bridal shower with a giant heart cookie, a chocolate fountain and puppies as favors *hint, hint* ladies. When I made the decision to start…
So it begins….
Right now there are 8 months, 21 days, 7 hours and 55 minutes until my wedding…but who’s counting? Looking at the numbers, it seems like a long time away, but when I think back to the night that I was proposed to, the last 6 months have flown by! Speaking of proposals… Mine was romantic,…
My Venue Roadshow
After my proposal, I received an outpouring of calls, texts and Facebook posts from friends and family congratulating me on the big news. Talking with one of my friends the following day I already set my mind on having my wedding on a 3 day weekend, which pretty much limited me to Labor Day weekend,…
