This will be my last post for Eat, Drink, Marry. It was great fun maintaining the blog during our wedding planning process, and added so much to the experience for me. My EAD wedding recap is <a href="http://www.elizabethannedesigns.com/blog/author/maggie/">here</a>, and you can always find me <a href="http://freckledcitizen.com/">here</a>. I'll keep this blog as a testament to the twists and turns of making our little wedding ours, so enjoy it!<br />
<br />
Happy planning, everyone!Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-74183832010600965982009-12-15T14:13:00.003-06:002009-12-15T14:19:57.101-06:00Our wedding in print!Hi folks! Long time, no blogging!<br />
<br />
We got some great news today... our wedding is going to be featured in a national wedding publication in the spring! In advance of that, they've asked that we take down our photos from blogs, so I'm going to temporarily remove the content on Eat, Drink, Marry to respect their wishes.<br />
<br />
I'll turn the blog back on after the publication is out, because I've loved having it here as a resource for other weirdo/crafty/nerdy/patterned/bright brides, and have so enjoyed receiving your comments and e-mails this long after our wedding took place.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for all your support for our crazy beach party, and come say hi over at my permanent blog <a href="http://freckledcitizen.com/">The Freckled Citizen</a>.<br />
<br />
Best of luck and happy planning to you all!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

I'll be there all week telling the story from scratch.<br />
<br />
On a side note, it's tough writing about your wedding when you have to explain it all at once. Writing over here a little bit at a time - inside jokes understood, sarcasm appreciated, F-Word chiming in - was a whole different (easier) shebang. I'm exhausted!<br />
<br />
Buckets of thanks to Ami at EAD for giving me the recap opportunity. Now, if only I could get my act together and send off those wedding submission packets for print magazines...Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-60657513442944309852009-08-03T09:22:00.033-05:002010-04-05T08:54:50.671-05:00For the Love of Red Shoes!Inspired by <a href="http://www.pinkgaloshes.com/the-bow-by-valentino/">Pink Galoshes' post on Valentino bow pumps</a> this morning, I thought I'd do a little tribute to my own fabulous Valentino bow wedding shoes (in RED, of course!). Some of these images you've seen, but I've never put them all together. So in the name of flaming red "bridal" shoes... enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Also, Let me know what other wedding images/descriptions you guys would like to see here. I'll be posting a big recap over on <a href="http://www.elizabethannedesigns.com/blog/">EAD Weddings</a> soon, but I can still fill in a few holes here, too, if you're interested.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">And remember, I'm blogging on a daily basis over on my new blog </span><a href="http://freckledcitizen.com/" style="font-style: italic;">The Freckled Citizen</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> (I posted about shoes there just this morning... old habits die hard), so come and visit me there for a dose of everyday, non-wedding talk, too. :-) </span><br />

Nice to have you back again! GRRRR.....What should I learn from my blogging experience this weekend? It went something like this:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>1. Coming home on Friday night and logging into Blogger to fix a (gasp!) typo on the top post at <a href="http://www.freckledcitizen.com/2009/07/love-and-politics-and-most-beautiful.html">Freckled Citizen.</a><br />
<br />
2. "Your Blogger account has been disabled." EEK.<br />
<br />
3. Finding out that my various partners in crime for all three of my blogs - Trevor (The F-Word from <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/">Eat, Drink, Marry</a>) and the lovely Marjorie and Mikaela from <a href="http://m-pyre.blogspot.com/">m-pyre</a> - had been disabled, too.<br />
<br />
4. While <a href="http://freckledcitizen.com/">Freckled Citizen</a> and <a href="http://m-pyre.blogspot.com/">m-pyre</a>'s URLs were still working (even though I couldn't access Blogger to create new posts or edit existing posts), <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/">Eat, Drink, Marry</a> gave me the notice "This blog has been removed."<br />
<br />
4. Seeing that an extremely large number of people were screaming their heads off over on the Blogger Help Forum about the exact same thing happening to them on Friday night. We're talking large-scale and massive frustration.<br />
<br />
5. Leaving countless forum posts, filling out countless forms, sending endless tweets, and sending endless e-mails to Blogger/Google but receiving absolute, resounding silence from them... and seeing even more people plea for help all day Saturday on the forum or on Twitter.<br />
<br />
6. Frustratingly waiting for resolve all weekend (when I normally don't blog anyway) wondering if I'd get my blogs back, what I'd do if they were permanently deleted, and basically bitching about unfair the whole thing was.<br />
<br />
7. Sunday night... ta-da! My blogs and blog access reappeared.</blockquote><br />
Now am I supposed to be jumping up and down and thanking Blogger for returning my blogs to me? Well, no. Because it never should've happened in the first place. Is the answer here "you get what you pay for," which in Blogger's case, is nothing? Is migrating to Wordpress (which I'm not a fan of) the only solution?Anyone have any gems of wisdom ? Because to me this weekend is a big warning to run far away from Blogger, or risk it all happening again. Only, I'm not sure what action that implies. Sigh... any ideas?Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-2820007063513502082009-07-23T08:46:00.028-05:002010-04-05T08:55:07.349-05:00First Glimpse<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Quick announcement before we move on to the pics... I switched my new blog url to one without a "the," so please change your bookmarks to <a href="http://freckledcitizen.com/">http://www.freckledcitizen.com</a>. Things might be in transition for a day or so, but all Blogger-supported links seem to work already. Thanks for reading!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Now back to the good stuff...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Trevor and I were among the growing number of couples who chose to see each other before the ceremony. It worked out really well, and was definitely the right decision for us. We took several family photos immediately following the ceremony, but that's really it... we were able to enjoy almost our entire cocktail hour. But what we loved most about taking our photos before the ceremony was that we were able to relax and really enjoy each other <span style="font-style: italic;">alone</span>. By the time the ceremony rolled around, we were calm and joyous and laughing. I should seriously do a collage of all the ridiculous "Maggie cackling with her mouth wide open" shots from our ceremony, because there are about 20 of them. But you know what? I love that I was laughing so hard all the way through. We <span style="font-style: italic;">are </span>kind of funny, after all... And I really think that doing these photos first was a way to help make all that laughter possible.<br />
<br />
On to the First Glimpse!<br />
<br />

<br />
I wish there was more of Trevor's face in these, but I still like them.<br />

I think she is much too kind, of course, but Amy's point about sticking to your inspiration "guns" is well-taken ... I agree with her that wedding blogs can become inspiration overload at a certain point in your planning process. In a way, because our "theme" was so different than what I was seeing on other blogs, it made our planning process easier - nothing out there was something I could quickly scoop up and incorporate into our event, so I could just ooh and aah objectively. Plus, not only was I already over my head with graphic design and printing up until the last minute, but Team DIY was up to their ears in glue with all the fabric pomander-making, can-wrapping, and votive-decorating. Factor in the travel requirements for all projects to arrive at our tough-to-get-to-wedding, and adding another project just wasn't an option!<br />
<br />
Lacking detail angst doesn't make me immune from the problem of too much inspiration, though. The one place I <span style="font-style: italic;">can </span>say this "was it enough?" angst has hit me is with photography. We spent a large portion of our budget on photography and love <span style="font-style: italic;">so many </span>of our photos, but I confess that I do get pangs of "should we have hired a second photographer?" or "instead of going with a local photographer, should we have imported someone?" I'm sure every couple ends up with a few photos they wanted but that just never got taken - whether that was verbalized in advance or a shot you only realized how much you wanted after the fact. As we found with so many other aspects of our wedding, the benefits of getting married in a remote place also become drawbacks - doing anything that's not "home-grown" was exorbitantly expensive. I don't mean to discredit our photographer at all - we truly love our photographs - really. And her presence throughout our day was nothing but a good thing - she is one of those truly warm, free-spirited, FUN people. But because I'm drawn to so much photography on other wedding blogs, it has become that nagging little question in my head, just as others might have that voice worry about their dress, or their flowers, or their music, etc.<br />
<br />
But in the spirit of just being thrilled that we pulled off our crazy election-themed party - and to not having regrets, because we did the very best we could with the budget we were comfortable with - let's look at more pretty photos in the next post!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"></span>And to <a href="http://abcddesign.com/">Amy</a>, who without question was my absolutely favorite part of our wedding planning process, a huge thank you!<br />

She made it through <span style="font-style: italic;">brilliantly ... </span>rocked her heels, covered her non-maternity bridesmaid dress bunching with a festive sash, and put on a smile! Here's my "Best Of" of the Best Woman:<br />

Here's a closeup of the front of our card (yummy letterpress alert!):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qR9hYPem7xM2JPDWRt66CXQtV9dftH2xRxdoZgWfntlR1rQl_YCkVYGG4gJDTqnL9FBx1ifUIJgK-XfqqJ1CaVKLc78VGu_pc2AElwLOClE6HmRASahvRi8XWL-B4yRAx0ZAIgBvzX8/s1600-h/thankyou-closeup.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qR9hYPem7xM2JPDWRt66CXQtV9dftH2xRxdoZgWfntlR1rQl_YCkVYGG4gJDTqnL9FBx1ifUIJgK-XfqqJ1CaVKLc78VGu_pc2AElwLOClE6HmRASahvRi8XWL-B4yRAx0ZAIgBvzX8/s400/thankyou-closeup.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358358560698608626" border="0" /></a><br />When we decided to go with standard stationery instead of official thank you cards, we thought we were being practical: we could slip a photo inside featuring a "thank you" and continue to use the stationery for general purposes after the thank yous were done. In theory, this was smart. What I didn't anticipate was not getting my photos until nearly two months later, meaning that this stickler for thank you etiquette was stressed to the max about getting my cards in the mail so late. My advice for anyone having custom stationery made is to be 110% sure your photos will be ready quickly if you opt for a thank you photo instead of a thank you note.<br /><br />Amy also made us a rubber stamp with our campaign logo, which we stamped inside the cards with red ink along with our note.<br /><br />Included inside is our official thank you photo:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht3OZb_VowB-TJqjhMeu7EElRaHgh8iG3tEbI0RgIGAQl3AlpnC65WFsmDzlBTsVBFZke7ZV3Km35OGTnl-WYRNLhDn8CNHfU0IZkJWwEal-lWuZJsg9fDf8uTB6ynyckMcDJu34OWCpc/s1600-h/testthankyou.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht3OZb_VowB-TJqjhMeu7EElRaHgh8iG3tEbI0RgIGAQl3AlpnC65WFsmDzlBTsVBFZke7ZV3Km35OGTnl-WYRNLhDn8CNHfU0IZkJWwEal-lWuZJsg9fDf8uTB6ynyckMcDJu34OWCpc/s400/testthankyou.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358359734727070210" border="0" /></a><br />Adding our names and the date was purely strategic. Shortly after the wedding, we received two cards in the mail from folks who I thought knew I wasn't changing my name, but apparently hadn't gotten the message. I decided that the best way to approach this is going to be consistent, gentle reminders. Therefore, both of our full names appear on our thank you image, and both of our names are also on our coordinating return address label. It's not a press release, but I hope that small decisions like these will help convey the message over time.<br /><br />We're thrilled with our cards and have had a blast including images of guests partying at the reception as an extra token of thanks. I'd love any tips any of you might have on ways you've tactfully approached the name issue - please share!<br /><br />Now... back to finishing the rest!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">PSA: I've moved!

She asks:<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="color: #990000;">Where did you get your hair and makeup done? The Sanderling?</blockquote><br />
My hair was indeed done at The Sanderling Spa. I wanted a loose, curly, beachy updo, and Monique gave it to me. Here's how it looked all pristine and pretty, with my hairpiece from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5592962">Smitten</a>:<br />
<br />

And in action:<br />

Unfortunately, it was a really windy day, especially beach-side. (My poor groom is very dissatisfied with his windblown locks in our photos... how about giving him some love?!) By the end of the night my hair really started coming apart, but since the look was so low-key and curly anyway, I don't think anyone really noticed. You can see it getting unkempt here:<br />

My makeup was done by <a href="http://www.alleyesonthebride.com/">All Eyes on the Bride</a> (and yes, my sister commented on the irony of someone who didn't want all eyes on her <span style="font-style: italic;">on her wedding day</span> using a business with that name!). Lauren was fabulous. She brought her sister along as her assistant and did the wedding party, moms, and me - and I think we all looked great! Here's Lauren in action:<br />

My inspiration was <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/04/dress-fitting-2.html">this photo</a> of Drew Barrymore. I was working on a pretty good tan by the time of the wedding, and ended up getting much more sun than anticipated the day before the wedding thanks to our <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/06/wedding-weekend.html">kayaking trip</a> (wearing SPF 50, mind you). So I was a pretty summery-looking May bride. But it turns out, the tanner I am, the more comfortable I feel rocking red lips! The final look:<br />

Unrelated side note: I really miss that tan. Here I am celebrating my golden-ness with my Boston gals. (I know, I know, my skin is better off without...) And no judging at our sweaty faces! Late-night it got HOT in that tent!<br />

But back to red lips... want more proof that Team Maggie was awesome? <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/01/bridesmaid-shoes.html">Remember how</a> they organized and found the same killer shoes and all loved them, without me even asking them to wear the same shoes? On the day of the wedding, they all decided to go with red lips, too!<br />

First up:</span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Your <span style="font-weight: bold;">runner </span>- How did you make it? Did you have anything between the fabric? What did you use as a backing?</span></blockquote><br />
My mom's friend Sandy made the <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/06/inquiring-mind-melissa.html">runner</a> for us. It was 4.5 feet wide and 40 feet long. The runner was simply cut to size, folded, and ironed. There was no backing underneath the fabric on top of the wooden deck - it was used as is. The afternoon of the wedding, it was simply stapled into place on the aisle along the edges.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">By the way, </span>If you'd like to purchase the runner, let me know - <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/06/inquiring-mind-abbie.html">Melissa</a> decided to go in a different direction, so we still have the runner, rolled up and ready to go, in pristine condition!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Next, Nicole asks:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fabric </span>in general: Where did you locate it? Did you end up making your own tablecloths? If so, were they round? And, if they were round, how did you do it?</blockquote><br />
Finding our wedding fabric was a long and fairly tedious process. My mom and I were regularly hitting fabric stores in NC and TX for months. (A taste of the search process can be found <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/search/label/fabric">here</a>, looking at my posts tagged "fabric.") For a while there, I had fabric samples in every bag I own, in piles around my apartment, and stacked in the closets. Eventually, I found our fabrics online, which I describe in some of the tagged posts. The online options were more reasonably priced than what we found in stores, and being able to search by yard cost prevented me from falling in love with really expensive fabric, which happened all the time in person. Premier Prints is a great company, by the way, I highly recommend them.<br />
<br />
The runner was made from <a href="http://premierprintsfabric.com/amssws.shtml">Premier Prints Amsterdam in Snorkel</a>, which was originally purchased as a tablecloth fabric and ended up not being white enough - but was perfect as the runner.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfrVgx3Ae1Rx3vE2TeGMfkmBnWRa0XXWHYi-noXNTKwuNwWcQphAlGWINnTc9SPsvaT0fxiuKVxd_iXF9p8-eHLtHHurKCXDKTjhjOFNX_IrGdtkDVXEQt-KdUrrRFppg8PzPGXDK6dsg/s1600/bluerunner.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfrVgx3Ae1Rx3vE2TeGMfkmBnWRa0XXWHYi-noXNTKwuNwWcQphAlGWINnTc9SPsvaT0fxiuKVxd_iXF9p8-eHLtHHurKCXDKTjhjOFNX_IrGdtkDVXEQt-KdUrrRFppg8PzPGXDK6dsg/s1600/bluerunner.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 238px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 299px;" /></a><br />
We settled on two tablecloth fabrics: <a href="http://premierprintsfabric.com/amslws.shtml">Premier Prints Amsterdam in Lipstick</a> (which unlike the snorkel version, had a bright white background) and <a href="http://premierprintsfabric.com/kimsnw.shtml">Premier Prints Kimono in Snorkel</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb92/mma0411/redandbluetablecloths.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb92/mma0411/redandbluetablecloths.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 600px;" /></a><br />
I loved the way the fabrics complemented each other without being too matchy-matchy. The punches of color were great fun at the reception and worked really well alongside all the other patterns we had going on in the decor - the DIY'd flower containers on each table, the votive holders, the table signs, and the escort cards.<br />
<br />
So how were they made? Not by us! My mom hired one of her coworkers to make them. We knew that the tables were 60-inch rounds, so decided to make the tablecloths 84-inch squares to provide a 12-inch drop all the way around (and as you infer, Nicole, making round tablecloths is quite a bit more complicated than making squares). Each tablecloth was stitched in three pieces, with the pattern lined up precisely. The center piece was the entire width of the fabric, with two smaller strips on each side, which avoided a center seam that would've been noticeable. Our seamstress did a fantastic job - the pattern matched so precisely on each side that the seams were nearly invisible. The tablecloths went over the venue's standard white underlays, which was a way to cut down on costs, since they were free. Here are a few table photos - more and better photos getting here soon, I promise - I believe they are finally in the mail. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"><br />

We're flying to North Carolina early tomorrow morning to spend the weekend with friends and family - including my month-old nephew Liam! It'll be our first trip back since the wedding, and let me tell you, I am <span style="font-style: italic;">craving </span>some barbecue (along with good times with my fab family and friends, of course!).<br />
<br />
Have a fantastic holiday, everyone! Enjoy!<br />

I'm loving woodgrain lately. Trevor had woodgrain-styled cufflinks made for the wedding from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26824240">blockpartypress</a>. They were like the ones here, but in our wedding colors:<br />
<br />

I'd love to show you a closeup of the cufflinks... But OOPS! Still no wedding photos!<br />
<br />
Don't even get me started.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm extremely annoyed. I'm actually so tired of waiting for them that I'm afraid I won't even feel like showing them off once they finally arrive, which is kind of sad.<br />
<br />
But on a more positive note, Nole has been featuring fabulous woodgrain stationery over on <a href="http://beautifulpaper.typepad.com/">Oh So Beautiful Paper</a> lately, so go ooh and aah over there and leave me to my crabbiness. :-)<br />

Many of you might not be aware, but I spent years before starting this 'lil 'ol wedding blog writing about politics and community organizing/planning issues at <a href="http://m-pyre.blogspot.com/">m-pyre</a>, with two of my all-time favorite gals. Eat, Drink, Marry has been a great framework to write about more of the personal and playful, but make no mistake - I'm still a newsfiend, still have tirades about daily affairs, and still get nerdy delight from my wonky interests. My new blog (name and site to be unveiled soon!) will be a combination of what I dug into at m-pyre and what's amused me over here for nearly a year - plus lots of reading, cooking, shopping, nerding out, and more.<br /><br />Soon we'll uncover mysteries such as:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What in the world is in my fridge, anyway?</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1msXyftSU_Bf_8p-HRICGWOBO2vJgmfui7TjVQanCF0-80L4rN4KT2EhA9G3qItnp4IOcsS8Lsbgd6wxu6pgdggD7v8JMXnKvxHr9BOTFwSVF7UNwYJ98kFcANaXXmx6LEJ8vfa2TLU/s1600-h/DSC03654.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1msXyftSU_Bf_8p-HRICGWOBO2vJgmfui7TjVQanCF0-80L4rN4KT2EhA9G3qItnp4IOcsS8Lsbgd6wxu6pgdggD7v8JMXnKvxHr9BOTFwSVF7UNwYJ98kFcANaXXmx6LEJ8vfa2TLU/s400/DSC03654.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350219360781046994" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And, really?

The quality was great and the price was very reasonable. I only wish I'd ordered more!<br /><br />The labels on the pouchette (as seen above) were printed via ABCD as well, using her preferred printer in New York. I loved the clean look of the labels and how they afforded an "inner envelope" feel without seeming stuffy.<br /><br />Amy also designed and printed our wrap-around labels for our outer envelopes, as seen here:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUroWfX2pDD1jzk3fPfogrM1rE1LcheS0MUqD9Fp-7Wt4eGxyWl7_qTMBHX7rzyf3t0sU3p2J6eKIf7zErVzaFP-DMPPeaKy_YBigSr9sCgsK2cok3fnZ2opAwAENTusnZBH7rnt16FM/s1600/labelson.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUroWfX2pDD1jzk3fPfogrM1rE1LcheS0MUqD9Fp-7Wt4eGxyWl7_qTMBHX7rzyf3t0sU3p2J6eKIf7zErVzaFP-DMPPeaKy_YBigSr9sCgsK2cok3fnZ2opAwAENTusnZBH7rnt16FM/s1600/labelson.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-DF_UraNialT99T9b3oRz5aTR4pmu4V4j7RxfGSnyy1mFYnZvVtk1LjPkiNDoNkbiKNgVVPhjD6XhbtRWMM6QqfexyLZYaWc7jbdgRyqdpzBxrdbtz11N6UDKiwJXVrd5l4geefY1Cjc/s1600/linerpreview.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-DF_UraNialT99T9b3oRz5aTR4pmu4V4j7RxfGSnyy1mFYnZvVtk1LjPkiNDoNkbiKNgVVPhjD6XhbtRWMM6QqfexyLZYaWc7jbdgRyqdpzBxrdbtz11N6UDKiwJXVrd5l4geefY1Cjc/s1600/linerpreview.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I loved that the labels felt personal but were more modern than traditional calligraphy.

One, when I thought I'd lost my corset and would be forced to race to the single department store in the area and purchase something ill-fitting and un-pretty, because going bra-less was not an option for me. Two, when I read Trevor's letter and nearly bawled all over my pretty just-finished makeup.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkQaDvs0EyijUnrcBlLowHEuy03VSbWKderwPNlQTvVPZ0_bf3dT2lE6CK_hvg6YWgs6m1hTS7IypfImc4T-ZGT7XrMiyemOgVgY_WFLcPrb1qvMd2B6PwF4WPp1tyy2lzvsj16LnyA0/s1600-h/letter.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkQaDvs0EyijUnrcBlLowHEuy03VSbWKderwPNlQTvVPZ0_bf3dT2lE6CK_hvg6YWgs6m1hTS7IypfImc4T-ZGT7XrMiyemOgVgY_WFLcPrb1qvMd2B6PwF4WPp1tyy2lzvsj16LnyA0/s400/letter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348705589001562914" border="0" /></a><span>"Oh my God, I'm going to cry."</span><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjprgzct3XI/AAAAAAAACAQ/2j9uxqpqdRs/s1600-h/laughing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjprgzct3XI/AAAAAAAACAQ/2j9uxqpqdRs/s400/laughing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348705718766525810" border="0" /></a>"His letter is so beautiful and I just scribbled his card while sitting on the toilet!"

They truly are gorgeous diamond studs. I took them off this weekend for the first time since the wedding and my ears are getting angsty. You can see me wearing them on the ferry <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/06/salty-sea-air.html">here</a>.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />My gift to Trevor</span><br /><br />I'd planned all along on getting Trevor wedding cufflinks to bookend his <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-yes.html">proposal cufflinks</a>, engraved with "I do!" instead of "Yes!" Problem was, he already owned the perfect cufflinks for his wedding suit, so we decided he'd just wear those. As it turned out, he had so much fun creating <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/06/gifting-our-crew.html">custom cufflinks</a> for all his groomsmen that he decided to make some for himself, so he had new cufflinks after all. Either way, it was no longer going to be my gift to him. I thought about a watch, because Trevor is in the market for a new watch, but it seemed wrong for this event. I never wear a watch, and when Trevor and I met, the only thing he did without one was to shower - as in, he would step out of the shower and put it right back on, <span style="font-style: italic;">even to go to sleep</span>. Some of you can imagine my hippie eyerolling at this very Virgo behavior back in the day. So now, I consider the fact that Trevor <span style="font-style: italic;">also </span>no longer wears a watch as a personal victory of sorts - as in, now that he's with me he doesn't care what time it is. :-) But truly, I don't mind that he'll probably wear one again at some point (although not in bed, please!). So celebrating our marriage by getting him the one accessory that he loosened up enough over time to give up? Not happening. Also, let's be frank - can I afford the kind of watch he really wants? No. Moving on!<br /><br />I decided to take another approach and go all-out fun for his gift - untraditional, something he wanted but didn't really know he wanted, something he wouldn't buy himself, and something I could personalize to make it a true memento. The goal? To make him laugh.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBN_QKk9sginKOo6w4mjX9XSYlghIF_Cg-e8CWszv0LJGX3Nf3hLZG_i0x8gvluWyRO-13s03C26lNiD0WDMr6k-7tf5YxeZJhojZUH-H6gwzO_LEteTOwcS2KU76_rXRSSkslxEYorw/s1600-h/openingcard.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBN_QKk9sginKOo6w4mjX9XSYlghIF_Cg-e8CWszv0LJGX3Nf3hLZG_i0x8gvluWyRO-13s03C26lNiD0WDMr6k-7tf5YxeZJhojZUH-H6gwzO_LEteTOwcS2KU76_rXRSSkslxEYorw/s400/openingcard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348709115480419778" border="0" /></a>Even though my message inside was of the "Yay!

This probably would've been smoother had the hotel not managed to screw up every single reservation we made, including his, which forced him to switch rooms halfway throughout the weekend. The screwup of <span style="font-style: italic;">our </span>reservation forced our first conversation with anyone else the morning after our wedding to be one involving raised voices and flared tempers, which was awesome, and also to pack up and move into the house a day earlier than planned immediately following the post-wedding brunch. But I'll save the bitterness for another post. So anyway... a nice room for Gene! Who deserved it! Yay!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjj58Kliw7I/AAAAAAAAB-E/q9SBK-wEjtc/s1600-h/sandy.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjj58Kliw7I/AAAAAAAAB-E/q9SBK-wEjtc/s200/sandy.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348299369531753394" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My mom's good friend Sandy helped her tremendously during all things <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/search/label/diy">DIY</a>, and also served as our point-person that day, which was really helpful.

We gave her a hot stone massage two days after the wedding when guests would be gone, so she could really relax and enjoy it. Hilariously, I called her on Monday to remind her about her massage appointment, since we'd never discussed it, and she had no idea she even had one. I'd attached a note explaining the massage to a mini <a href="http://www.blissworld.com/product/code/BLISS-254.do">Bliss Triple Oxygen Mask</a> that I wrapped - and she thought her entire thank you gift was the sample mask! Um, no.

He liked them so much he had a pair made for each of his groomsmen. They're made by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11973827">Chris Parry</a>, and each was engraved with their names. We'd already mailed the guys their ties, belts, and pocket squares, but we threw <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3md86bY3T2M/SiEQH1-dAeI/AAAAAAAABPo/wbw8Zsz7ibM/s1600/151maggieadams.jpg">their fun socks</a> into the gift bags, too. Finally, Trevor had cufflinks made for each groomsman, and had a blast doing so. Each was from a different etsy seller in mostly red and represented each person individually. Dean received dominoes, Lane Dogfish Ale bottle caps, Alex old-school Nintendo hockey figures, and Travis, a sickle and hammer (inside joke). Here they are, minus my brother, who was late for the "candid getting ready" portion of the afternoon:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqpfiWqX0GowupgIloJFMXAzOHEgG6Ib7nu3xV7iJQKL3ZoIacWwGDsyX_k5MWOZ4UU78aEwGDoDv1jKlArQ-PmKp3HM6NCKybfiqBvVomD366a8l8dkybe1_3kNjRCh8yN1rHpXhektM/s1600-h/cufflinks.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqpfiWqX0GowupgIloJFMXAzOHEgG6Ib7nu3xV7iJQKL3ZoIacWwGDsyX_k5MWOZ4UU78aEwGDoDv1jKlArQ-PmKp3HM6NCKybfiqBvVomD366a8l8dkybe1_3kNjRCh8yN1rHpXhektM/s400/cufflinks.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348336640368785074" border="0" /></a><br />Next up, the ladies!!! As I was speaking about my bridesmaids, I inarticulately tried to present a theme of family, calling on the bounty of fantastic girlfriends I'm blessed to have in my life, but who weren't part of the wedding party, first. Our small wedding party really did give it a family structure: my sister Lisa as Best Woman (and about to pop with my first newphew!), Trevor's sisters Morgan and Avery, and my best friend Heather, who has attended more Thanksgiving dinners with my family than <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span> have over the last ten years. Here we are:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh20qt70P9xaVSYsKcTYNTHR5AgAuUfWrjQg7NQYZffvYXxW4KO3SOC7AdLZMmuRy5EArwvYwrb8Vx15fv1xRoXgPvLe_XZYGIrjKchxfC6AAzq47tVO8FE2zzCd4AfcZ0rhj60vmPR2yM/s1600-h/girls.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh20qt70P9xaVSYsKcTYNTHR5AgAuUfWrjQg7NQYZffvYXxW4KO3SOC7AdLZMmuRy5EArwvYwrb8Vx15fv1xRoXgPvLe_XZYGIrjKchxfC6AAzq47tVO8FE2zzCd4AfcZ0rhj60vmPR2yM/s400/girls.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348337862187402178" border="0" /></a>I had clutches made for all of us that coordinated with our dresses. You can see my sister holding hers above. They were made my <a href="http://smlbags.com/">SML Bags</a>, and I had a blast picking out fabric. All of our bags were red silk shantung with a cornflower blue shantung flower on the outside. Mine was lined in the same blue and used a fabric swatch from my wedding dress to cover the buttons. The girls' bags were lined in seersucker and were flat-out adorable. Here's a close-up from SML:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjkd6q_PW8I/AAAAAAAAB-0/UFapa7Okmgw/s1600-h/red_ministella.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 194px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uICmd3v2AXE/Sjkd6q_PW8I/AAAAAAAAB-0/UFapa7Okmgw/s400/red_ministella.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348338926288329666" border="0" /></a>I stuffed the bags full of goodies: their <a href="http://eatdrinkmarry.blogspot.com/2009/05/adorning-maids.html">Smitten hairpiece</a>, a pot of sheer red Stila lip gloss, more mini Bliss Triple Oxygen Masks (which <span style="font-style: italic;">all of you</span> should own, by the way), and personalized <a href="http://www.sarahandabraham.com/item.php?item_id=21&category_id=45">Sarah+Abraham stationery</a>.
