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…

Engaged: a preview picture
We had a few engagement photos taken yesterday by Mr. Owl’s older brother. And all I can think when I look at them is that I am marrying the most attractive man on the planet. I take one look at him and all of my organized thoughts leave in a jumble. follow me on: bloglovin | chictopia | facebook | twitter | pinterest

Wedding attire: what to wear on your head.

Just to warn you guys, this blog might become very wedding-focused in the next four months. But I am (naturally, and obviously) really excited, so you know. So far, everything has been falling into place incredibly easily. We have a place, a date, an officiant, colors, a photographer, my aunt will make our wedding cake and desserts (we’re having pie and cake in 4oz mason jars, and then she’s going to make us a personal cake to cut that…

Kitties and weddings and yellow hats, oh my!
I was the maid-of-honor in a wedding today. Yesterday, the bride and I spent all day wandering around a thrift/vintage store trying on all the hats and taking pictures of all the cats we could find. It was SO much fun! And the wedding today went off with only one hitch, and that hitch was incredibly minor. I love weddings. Since I’m incredibly exhausted now, I’m just going to share my favorite pictures from this week/weekend with you. Not a lot of pictures of the wedding, unfortunately, but… I got some interesting shots. 🙂 First up, my cat… was being cute. Next, the bride-to-be (at the time) and I had…
