Wedding: The Dress Shopping Experience
Obviously, I’m not going to show you my dress. So, y’know. It’s not that one. It doesn’t look remotely anything LIKE that one. And, although I adore the dress I finally got, part of me still covets that one. But that’s not the point of this post. This post is for all of you brides-to-be who have yet to find a dress, and especially for those of you that haven’t even gone dress-shopping yet. Because I have some advice for you that will hopefully make your dress-shopping experience much better than mine was. Not that my dress-shopping experience was a nightmare, but there were a few bumps that could have been…

Wedding: Nerdy Invitations
I’m still alive, I promise! I had planned to take outfit pictures yesterday, but then Mr. Owl injured himself at work (nothing’s broken, just badly bruised), so now my photographer is incapacitated and I can’t steal his camera to take my own pictures because his camera is being dumb.

Someone told us that this picture makes us look like a crazy American and a beautiful Italian. (You can guess which is which.) I personally prefer to think of us as Chuck and Ned. Minus the whole he-touches-her-and-she-dies bit. I hope you…

Wedding attire: the bling edition
So I realize that come Saturday, it will have been a full two weeks since I’ve done a proper outfit post. Who knew getting engaged could make me neglect the blog so much? I miss taking outfit pictures. But we’ll have a good set of engagement pictures coming next week, hopefully, so y’know. At least there’s that. One thing about my wedding dress that is only slightly disappointing is the fact that it doesn’t quite go with the necklace I meant to wear. I will still wear the necklace… only wrapped around my wrist instead of around my neck, but this means that now… I don’t know what jewelry to…
