I'm awful

I did not do a single post last week and I feel horrible. I wish I had a good excuse . . . but I don't. Just lazy or something. I have been so funny about putting my wedding pics up. It is like, if I put them up then it is actually over. Done.

I know that is not really true, but somehow it just makes me sad! I promise I will start the recaps soon. Plus I still do have some of the other projects we did to share as well. I hope you all aren't too disappointed in me!

Here is one pretty picture to hold you over!

If I could afford sale items

So today on Gilt, they are having a sale of Oscar de la Renta . . . and the dresses are beautiful. To bad I can't even afford the sale prices!!
Normally $4,490, on sale for $1,298.
Normally $5,990, on sale for $1,498.
On my gosh I love this one! It is like the perfect little black dress!! Normally $5,490, on sale fro $1,498.
Normally $3,690, on sale for $998 (the cheapest of my favorites!) Now this one! Not only can I not afford it, but I don't even have a place to wear it . . . I think maybe I would just wear it around the house to feel pretty! Normally $14,950, on sale for $3,998. Normally $10,490, on sale for $2,598.
Normally, $11,900, on sale for $2,998. Normally $6,250, on sale for $1,598.

Aren't they amazing though!! Makes me wish I had thousands of dollars just laying around to spend on pretty dresses!! If anyone wants an invite to Gilt, just send me your e-mail address! (They do have designer clothing that is a lot less expensive than this!!)

Songs of Love

One of my Dad's best friends sent us "A Medley of Songs For Cat & Marshall" where he changed the lyrics to some songs you may know. Or in his words "Lyrics mangled by John B."

"The first song is sung to the tune of 'The Theme From The Davy Crockett TV Show' (Ask your parents) Ready - here goes:


I know a Gal. Her name is Cat-xx J.
She and Marshall set their wedding day.
Friends and fam'ly will shout, 'Hip, Hooray?'
'Cause they'll all be happy in every way!
Cat-xx, Cat-xx Jxx
Soon to be G-xxxxxxxx."
(I guess I will have to tell you my first and maiden name are two syllables, and my new last name is 4!)


"The next tune is stolen from 'California Here I Come" and here we go:
G-xxxxxxxx - That's his name.
Cat-xx's will be the same.
She's partial to Marshall. You know it's true.
He's battlin' for Cat-xx. Wants to hear her say, 'I do!'
Draw a circle 'round 8/8.
That's their happy wedding date.
Grab the parson. Don't be late!
The G-xxxxxxxx - Here they Come!"
(I am starting to realize this isn't as much fun for you if you don't know our names - oh well)


"Now for the big finale! Sung to the tune of 'Love And Marriage' (aka. The theme from the 'Married With Children' TV Show). Let's bring it on home:


Cat and Marshall. Cat and Marshall.
Go together just like post and parcel.
This I told her brother -
I can't see one without the other!
Try, try, try to get to Portland per invitation.
Try, try, try and you'll be sure to share in their elation!
Marshall and Cat. Marshall and Cat.
Go together like a cane and top hat.
This I told her mother -
I can't see one . . . I said I can't see one . . .
No, no, I can't see one without the o-o-other!"
(Hopefully you guys recognize this tune! Plus, not strange X's getting in the way!)

Well, I think it is fun!!

Super Pretty Bridesmaid Dresses

I saw these beautiful bridesmaid dresses by Saja via K, Tea? . . . they are just amazing. Wish I had seen them before my wedding, I probably would have looked into buying them. Maybe I should just buy myself a pretty party dress, they are just so classically pretty. I love them!!

Don't you agree?? Just pretty??

Engagement Anniversary

Today is the one year anniversary of when M got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. It is amazing how much has happened in the past year . . . for one, we are married!! I still cannot even believe that one! Meeting my niece for the first time . . . many other friends getting married . . . oh how the time passes so quickly!!

We missed the Doobie Concert this year (a little hard to take time off just after a 3 week vacation for the wedding and honeymoon!), but I guess there is always next year!!

Wedding Season

We are off to our 5th wedding this year! I am very excited to see how everything turns out cuz she has been planning longer than we did!! Their reception is taking place at the Nixon Library in a Special Exhibit room and an exact replica of the East Room of the White House! Anyway, should be a really fun wedding . . . plus I was informed that we will be sitting at an entire table of newlyweds!

And, check out how adorable this couple is!

People actually read this blog

It still amazes me when I see PDXBride show up someplace else!! It just is a bit strange that people read it, find inspiration, and share it with others. So cool!
Earth Friendly Weddings shared a bit more about Orange Slice one of the gifts I bought for the wedding!

And I just saw myself again on Project 10K Wedding sharing my newest wedding love . . .

Glad to know you all are reading!!
