Wedding Updates!

So, I knew on an intellectual level that planning a wedding is tough work. But then I started planning one. It is all consuming, let me tell ya. So I apologize for the lack of posts, yet again, but I really am going to try to keep up a semi-regular posting schedule. THANK all the heavens for Pinterest! My wedding board is here , if you're so inclined. 

Here's what I've accomplished so far:

  • made the deposit on our photographer. Tobin Photography (Go to his website and drool!)
  • found, bought, and received my dress! (Hint: it's from this designer, but it's not from this year)
  • found and bought all the bridesmaid's dresses.
  • found our caterer! Fun and different, just like us :)
  • decided on our colors and theme- not like anybody else's! Scroll down for a sneak peek.
  • decided on the groom's and groomsmen outfits.
  • started on the bridesmaid's gifts.
  • started wedding crafting! More peeks coming soon ;)
  • made the deposit on our reception venue. This is the view from the deck!


  • found a ceremony venue. So excited to be married in an old New England church!

And finally, what I know you've all been waiting for, our save-the-dates! I wanted to wait until I was sure everyone had gotten theirs before I posted anything about them. I used this wonderful woman who will work with you to do exactly what you want! Her website is http://pmcustomweddings.com/, but she also does all other sorts of invitations, custom postage, etc.


And some of my lovely guests posing with our card:
Miss Jessica Jule, coming at you from LA!

And a giggling twin montage, because every post should have some chubby babies in it, right?

And one more of them verrryyy interested in reading (or eating) the card:


So excited to share more with you as it all comes together!

xoxo, Kate

Some news...

So, this happened.



Can I just be girly about it for a sec? *Squeal*!!!! 

Okay, I'm done. But seriously, YAY! 

Shmeeguel proposed December 6th (the night we were celebrating his birthday). I made dinner, which deserves it's own post because I'm pretty sure it's a surefire meal on how to make someone propose, and then we changed into our pjs and started watching Big Bang Theory on the couch. A Jared's commercial came on tv depicting a proposal actually taking place in a Jared's store, and I mentioned to him that I would hate that because strangers would be watching you and it seemed impersonal. "But I still have 6 more months, right?" says He (about our pretend rule that we always have 6 more months until we'll get engaged). And I say, "No, you only have until New Years, and then I'm gonna start taking bids from other guys". And he gets all pretend huffy and then says, "I definitely have until New Years?" and I say yes…

And then he takes the ring out of his pocket and says,
"How about now?"

I kid you not. 

Oh, how I love this guy.

July 26th, 2014 is our date. We're pretty excited about it. 

P.S. You're going to have to deal with a lot more wedding posts, because you better believe that I am DIYing out the wahzoo. I can't wait to show you some of the projects that I'm working on! But I'm still going to continue with recipes and other DIY's and photography and fun stuff like that. I'm back!!!

xoxo, Kate
