Come on, Lauren.

We last left off with me being late. And stressed. While everybody waited on us to arrive, they apparently stood around in circles and wondered where in the heck we were. Oh, and made silly faces. We finally arrived… … and my excessive ribbon bouquet (which will get its own post once I actually photograph...

The crazy train arrives

Recaps… GO! The day before the wedding was, well, totally crazy. I was not relaxed, I was not a happy camper, and there were tons of little things that brought me to the brink of a bridal meltdown. That Friday was packed with entirely too many things. I should have been sitting on a lily...

STD Envies: The Fail

*Envies is my pet name for envelopes. Deal with it, dears. Now that I admitted my STD-printing flub, I can move along to a part that I’m actually fairly pleased with– the envelopes.
