Wedding Wednesday

Oh hi, its me again… not only the worst blogger ever but also a liar… Cause I told you you’d get a post on Sunday and alas, I forgot. But here I am! For Wedding Wednesday!

I only have a few wedding updates to share since last we spoke. We’ve officially booked our rehearsal dinner venue – and I could NOT be more excited! It’s PERFECT. The University Center Club at Doak Campbell Stadium – the palace of the Florida State Seminoles! It will be garnet & gold themed of course and our photographer will be there as well so hopefully we’ll be able to sneak down onto the field for a couple of pictures that night. Kinda like this:

There she is in all her glory! Doak Campebell Stadium! (The Club is on the top floor)

Maybe we will do this? Minus the wedding dress that night of course

The actual room we will be in

 Also, I emailed my photographer the other day and officially let her know that I changed my mind about bridal portraits. We had scheduled a Saturday in January (the same day as my trial run for my hair) to get dolled up like it’s the wedding day and take pictures. But I was having some anxiety about it. A) where would we do them? We don’t have a studio and I don’t want to get my dress dirty. B) What if I lose weight between that day and the wedding? I don’t want to have to get fitted all over again! So I cancelled and M.E. has promised that we will do a rock the dress shoot in the summer where we can get all the pictures we need if I feel unhappy with what we get on the wedding day. I mean, what if my bridal portraits looked like this?!

And one more update: WE HAVE BOOKED OUR HONEYMOON! On March 6 we will be leaving for ::drum roll please:: Paris & Rome for one week of newly wedded bliss! Eeeeeeek!!!! Please please, if you have any tips/recommendations send them my way!

OH and how could I forget – I mailed out our wedding invitations yesterday! I would love to share them with you because I spent a lot of time designing them but let me just tell you – they are unique and I love them.

PS. Have you seen this site? Horrendous! 

PPS. Because its Wedding Wednesday don't forget that I'm linking up with Belle in Boots & Love Always, Nancy J so go check them out!

My bad...

Oh heeey... My apologies, I haven't been here in awhile. Shame shame bad blogger.

And here I am telling you how bad I've been at blogging and yet I'm not even going to give you a real blog post today.

But SUNDAY. Come back on Sunday. I plan on a blog makeover and a fresh new post!
I promise.

Love,

Angie

Emails to my Bestie

Every day I when I sit down at my computer and double click on Safari to open Blogger I think, “Nah, I have nothing to write about today. No blog post for me...” As I am simultaneously writing novel emails to by bffle Sarah Dean. What the heck? Maybe it’s because I know Dean will respond and not judge and read what I have to say even if I don’t send her corresponding pictures. Or maybe she doesn’t really read my emails at all... But why do I let her in on all my juicy random thoughts and not you, internet?  

Subject: GRUNGY?

Yesterday (as in Sunday) night M.E. and I went to my parent’s house for dinner to visit with my Aunt & Uncle, and really to officially ask my Uncle to be our officiant for the wedding ceremony. There was lots of wedding talk and Ma had set the table with wedding décor so we could show off what we had been working on/planning. Well today (as in Monday) we all received my Uncle’s weekly email he sends to all family members & friends – a weekly newsletter basically. In it he describes the wedding décor... as GRUNGY CHIC. Yes, yes, GRUNGY not shabby, not vintage, not eclectic. GRUNGY. Ha! Men.

Subject: Diet

So M.E. and I decide (again) to officially get on this diet thing. Or as M.E. put it, a “cleanse”. Well I ain’t making no green smoothies for dinner every night but I did make a mean turkey burger with tzatziki sauce and pita bread for dinner. AND I made “sassy water” (lemons, cucumbers, and mint leaves). Do you know I’ve never sliced a cucumber before that? Also, I should really go back to the gym...

Subject: Blow Dry

I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEW BLOW DRY BAR TO OPEN! I hope it lives up to all of my dreams and expectations. The official opening is this weekend BUT because I have amazing model like hair I used to work with the owners, I get to go in today for a sneak peek of the place and be a practice head. My first blow out fo free. Its really cool because this will be the first Cherry Blow Dry Bar opening in the States. In Tallahassee of all places!

Subject: Teeth

My teeth hurt. I’ve been whitening my teeth and now they hurt. But they look good.

Oh also we send each other at least 5 Buzzfeed links a day. 

Wedding Wednesday

So it’s been awhile since I last did a Wedding Wednesday! It’s tricky because I want to share EVERYTHING with you but at the same time some things I would like to be a surprise and some things I’m sure you don’t want to hear me complain about. I will tell you think though, I have officially hit this stage of the wedding planning.

When we first got engaged I was like this.

Now I’m like this- beyond stressed.

And I’m just so ready to be like this.

I'mready to be married to M.E.. And then go on our honeymoon. Which may be changing btw - the destination MAY no longer be in the Caribbean... it MAY be Europe. And I want to cry just thinking about how amazingly spectacular it would be to be in Europe with my new husband. Here’s a little update on the actual planning: 

Centerpieces: We have arranged 10 of 18 and taken pictures of how they will be set up. 

Plates: We need more plates. Anyone have any extra china sets they’d like to ship to me? Or can anyone recommend a website that sells plates in bulk? 

Bridesmaids: Their dresses came in and they look GORGEOUS. I promised I didn’t choose my bridesmaids on their stellar good looks, it just worked out that way. 

Bouquet: Y’all. I did a brooch bouquet. It was a LOT of work but it’s perfect! I wish I could show you but it’s another surprise! 

Rehearsal dinner: My soon-to-be mother-in-law is amazing and has really taken over with helping with this! The dinner itself is going to be about 50 people and she is so wonderful helping us arrange everything!

I am just so excited for all of the wedding related events coming up – and they’ll be here SO soon! Thanksgiving, Christmas, M.E.’s 30^th birthday, NYE, Couples Shower, Wedding Shower, Bridal Portraits, Bachleorette Party, Lingerie Shower, Bridal Luncheon, Rehearsal Dinner, WEDDING, HONEYMOON! Eeek!

ONLY 3 MONTHS AND 30 DAYS!

Tiger for Dinner

This weekend was fairly uneventful except for Saturday night when our SEMINOLES KICKED TIGER BUTT!

M.E. was lucky enough to go to the game (and tailgate for 10 hours). He was exhausted when he got home last night but he had a great time! They got to rush the field after we dominated!

 

Can you spot him? He's not looking the right way...

Here is a shout out to my three favorite players from the game:

J-boo! Don’t call him Famous Jameis, he doesn’t like it. He likes J-boo because that was the nickname his Mama gave him. Jameis, you are so freakin adorable but I’m afraid you may need glasses because you seemed to have a hard time seeing on the field Saturday night. Also, thank you for being The Best.

Kenny Shaw. Kenny, you play like a beast but when we saw you in real life you looked like a hipster. And I think it’s funny you wear skinny jeans.

Nick O’Leary. Nick, you look like a ginormous snuggly leprechaun and you ran like the wind this weekend. And I don’t care that you have a famous grandpa because you are a obvi a better football player than golfer. 

Did y'all watch any football this weekend? This was the ONLY game I watched but I watched it twice! Go Noles!
