Although today is April Fool’s Day, this post isn’t a joke. Filene’s Basement’s Annual Running of the Brides will be held in the Maryland/DC area this Friday, April 3rd at their Rockville, MD location. Visit them at: If you can’t make it this week, don’t feel bad. They will have another sale in the Maryland/DC area at the end of July. Happy shopping! Today’s quote is said to be the secret of a good marriage. I’m inclined to agree. - ACCEPT - Attraction ~ Unknown
Everyone who knows me knows that I love Grey’s Anatomy. Thursday nights at 9pm EST I am in front of the tv. I won’t even take phone calls during that time lol. So at the end of last night’s episode Dr. Shepherd (AKA McDreamy) proposed to Dr. Grey. During his “proposal” Derrick told Meredith “I’m not going to get down on one knee and I’m not going to ask a question. All I’ll say is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Her response? “I want to spend the rest of my life with you too.” I loved it…surprisingly. I say surprisingly because I’ve always been the traditional type when it came to the proposal. I thought the guy should be the one to propose. I also thought there should be a ring for the guy to present as he got down on bending knee. I know that doesn’t work for everyone and I’m sure some of you might think that this tradition is a little antiquated. I’d love to hear your non-traditional proposal stories. Share yours by leaving a comment. This quote has been around for awhile…I used it in my wedding programs. So you could say it’s an oldie but goodie but the sentiment still rings true.
Here’s hoping you’re marrying the love of your life. Are you looking for a fab clutch to carry on your wedding day? Something cute to hold a few personal items like a tube of lipstick, etc.? Maybe you’ll like the following purses I found on Nordstrom.com And lastly, for those brides that are all about the bling… Happy shopping! When deciding to marry someone, I think we all tend to focus on whether that person is the right person for us but the quote below takes it a step further. I found two versions of a quote so I thought I’d share both. “Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person.” and “Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.” I think I like the first one best.
I received the DVD of the October wedding of Stephanie & Bobby last week. Oh how I love re-living my couples’ wedding day. Since I’m working at the weddings I miss a lot of wonderful moments like seeing the bride as she walks down the aisle (I see the back of her), etc. Lately, a lot of my couples have been forgoing cinematography for their wedding and opting for a photojournalistic photographer. While I understand the need for candid wedding shots, I still see where video can capture moments that still photos can’t…like hearing your spouse say their vows, etc. Just something to keep in mind as you budget your wedding day finances. The Husband and I have a tradition of watching our wedding video each anniversary while sipping sparkling cider (he doesn’t drink) from our wedding champagne flutes. I always look forward to it. |
