Paralyzed Without a Chute
Jun 20
I can remember feeling this way only one other time in my life. It was six weeks from my wedding date and all I had was a ring, a dress, and a groom to prove it. Not a single flower had been ordered, invitation had been sent, or bridesmaid had been squeezed into overpriced satin. See, I was not your typical bride that had envisioned her wedding from the age of 6. The truth is, I never really...
Bridal Poll
May 23
New York Magazine recently conducted an interesting bridal poll which got me thinking of the parts of my own wedding that are most memorable. Before Clark and I got married, we had so many couples tell us that they barely remember their own wedding day. “It’s all a blur”, they would say. We got married so fast {and with little to no money, I might add}, so there wasn’t...
Gatsby-Inspired
May 03
What are you doing this weekend? I’ve convinced a friend to go see The Great Gatsby with me on Saturday night while Clark hosts a Sci-fi movie marathon at the house. Did you read that book in high school? I read it in the 9th grade, and it was the first time I had ever heard of the phrases, “old money” and “new money”. My family didn’t have any money–...
To the Bride and Groom

Date Basket
Sep 26
This clever idea has been making the rounds on Pinterest, but every since I saw these pre-planned {and pre-paid} monthly date envelopes, I’ve been coming up with ideas to make my own. Shannon Brown made these as a Christmas gift for her husband, but how cool would it be as an anniversary or a wedding gift? Each month of the year would have a different theme and a different adventure for...
Pillow Talk
Aug 03
I can’t decide if these Customizable His and Hers Lyric Pillows by Three Yellow Finches are really nerdy or if this needs to be my next “just-because-I-love-you” gift to Clark. Being married to a songwriter has its definite perks. Over the years, Clark has poured his heart and soul into a few tunes inspired by moi. In fact, I walked down the aisle to the very song that he wrote...
