Great times were had this weekend at a wedding in Youngstown. The drink below, among other drinks, contributed to the great times… Always fun to see college friends! I’m just starting to get over being sick for the past week and I’ve got to get re-hydrated, back to full health and ready for the Akron [...]

Today is our first wedding anniversary. :) Jim and I made it through our first year of marriage, and our sixth year together as a couple. I’m still amazed that I found someone so completely perfect for me, that I turned out to be perfect for him, AND that we’re able to put up with [...]

I think that all of the wedding video footage is finally edited and up on Viddler, so I’ve created a player with all of the videos, which will also be posted to our wedding/couple site for future viewing. It was an amazing trip, there are 20 separate videos, including the video of the ceremony, and [...]

…about our pre-honeymoon. :) I say pre-honeymoon because we thought we would be alone from the day after the wedding on, but somehow ended up still seeing everyone who was still in Vegas and staying at our hotel. So, the first two days of the honeymoon still involved hanging out, which was not a real [...]

…about our wedding day. :) 1. I was incredibly hungover when I woke up Saturday morning and was barely alive until we got back from the hair appointment. Then, I think it was the adrenaline or realizing I was getting married that just completely flushed the alcohol from my system. 2. Our wedding was broadcast [...]

…about the day before the Vegas wedding. :) 1. My second hairdresser was awesome, which was lucky because the one the day before had been a total bust. I wore my tentative wedding hair to the bachelorette lunch. Lunch was friggin’ awesome (Mexican cuisine of the tastiest variety): 2. Dianah, Susan and I went to [...]

Simi and I head out the Thursday before the wedding to go to hair appointments, get my dress steamed, and a whole bunch of other stuff I’ve blocked from my formerly overly busy mind. A visit to the Zappos outlet store while we had some time to kill before appointments yielded nothing but REALLY UGLY [...]

Right off the plane on June 4th, driving in Simi’s rental car to the Stratosphere. This is my first time seeing the Strip, so it was fun. :) Inside the hotel, a little bit of the view we had from our part of the hotel and tour of our room just after arriving. I actually [...]

…about our first day in Vegas! (I’m going to be doing occasional day by day blog posts about what was great about each day we were in Vegas, highlighted by my favorite pictures from that day. Don’t worry, I’ll space them out!) 1. I got incredibly sick on the plane and was practically green when [...]

Thursday, we got our marriage license: Then we had dinner and drinks at Quark’s with Dianah, Karen, Jim’s cousin Paul, and my dad and stepmom. I had a Borg Sphere, Cardassian Ale, and Picard’s Pockets (steak pita sandwich thingies). After walking back from the bar, we were at the hotel’s C-Bar for a little while [...]

Don’t worry, I’m not actually blogging 15 minutes before my wedding. I’m setting this entry to post in the future, so that while I’m anxiously awaiting my walk down the aisle, somewhere the powers of the internet are reminding all of you that I am getting MARRIED (in 15 minutes). If you want to watch, [...]
*headdesk* *headdesk* What in the world have I gotten myself into… Holy stress level batman. OTher than the intense stress of multiple people going bonkers shortly before the wedding and random things going wonky here and there, I accomplished something great today: I shopped. Not only did I shop, but I was successful, which NEVER [...]

I’ve been curious about the way Jim’s acting lately, as the wedding grows nearer. I haven’t been able to put my finger on it, but I realized today that I *think* he might be… …excited. I don’t know how macho men like Jim show excitement for an event like their wedding, but I think Jim [...]

…dying, I think. The powers that be have blessed me with such severe allergies / sinus annihilation during this entire long weekend that I spent 22 hours in bed completely incapacitated and I’ve spent the past 24 hours blowing my nose to the point of it bleeding frequently. Seven days until we fly to Vegas [...]

Here’s a synopsis (I don’t update as things happen because those of you who could care less about weddings would very likely shoot me) of what’s up with the wedding: Wedding dress: Went in for alterations, and the nature of my dress prohibits a simple hemming, so the gatherings are being further gathered, which = [...]

I’m breaking all the footage up over a few days, since I have a gazillion videos. Here are the videos of the ceremony, Shelley & Mun dancing, and then a whole bunch of crazy people dancing at the reception. Mostly these ones are for Shelley. :) The ceremony: Shelley and Mun dance: Random Wedding Reception [...]
