Year in Review

2015. Holy shit. How did we all get here? Pardon me for sounding cliché but didn’t it feel like this year just flew by? It seems like yesterday I adopted this mantra to just Keep Calm and write a blog about my life. Continue reading →

BRIDE GUIDE: The Kid Factor- Shiny, happy people holding hands

Posted by Cari in Marriage, Wedding and tagged with , , , , , ,

Shiny, happy people holding hands… Yes B-52s! Who loves some Love Shack?

Oh hi there.  I’m just hanging out, thinking about my wedding day and remembering some of the drama that ensued about a certain subject.

So yes I’m going to touch the touchy subject of children at a wedding. Saddle up. Continue reading →

BRIDE GUIDE: From the desk of a Wedding Officiant

Posted by Cari in Life, Marriage, Thoughts, Wedding and tagged with , , , , , , , , , ,

I was raised Catholic.  I went to Sunday school.  I went to church, the later the better.  I even went to all girl’s Catholic high school.  I led the choir in song every First Friday of the month.  I was raised with religion and I always dreamed of it being a part of my wedding day.  I wanted to walk down the aisle of a beautiful church with stained glass windows and incense burning, with a fun-loving priest giving joyous blessings to this everlasting love that my husband and I shared.

This was not how it all went down.  And I couldn’t be happier about it.

BRIDE GUIDE: Ain’t nuthin’ but a she thang!

“A Bachelorette Party is a party held for a bride-to-be in the style that is common in that social circle.” Thanks Wikipedia! I hope you appreciate the title of this blog.  Shoutout to Salt-N-Pepa baby! Whatever happened to them?

The bachelorette party is a big stink these days.   Continue reading →

BRIDE GUIDE: Who you gonna call?

Posted by Cari in Marriage, Wedding and tagged with , , , ,

On your wedding day, you wake up in disbelief.  After months or even years of planning, the big day has finally arrived.  You take an extra long shower, you shave, you scrub, you dab perfume everywhere, you lie on your bed lathered in coconut oil (or was that just me?). Your friends arrive. Your mom cries. You get your hair done, you get your makeup done, and you put your clothes on. You feel the most elegant you have ever felt. Then you walk down the aisle to the man of your dreams. Then you will dance the night away atop your monogrammed dance floor. And everything will you planned will go off without a hitch, right?

BRIDE GUIDE: “The best things happen while you’re dancing….”

Posted by Cari in Life, Marriage, Thoughts, Wedding and tagged with , , , , , ,

I cannot wait to embarrass my Hubs with this post. I saw my Hubs, shaking that ass. I saw him shaking it all over our condo. He would dance in his towel, when he made dinner, when he won his PS3 game, but what I wondered was how my Hubs-to-be would do when it was his time to shine for our first married dance.

BRIDE GUIDE: Registries are better than Santa.

Posted by Cari in Life, Marriage, Thoughts, Wedding and tagged with , , , , , , , , ,

This is a totally selfish and shallow post and I will love every moment of writing it.  Demi and Michael got nuthin on my Disclosure! (90s movie anyone?)

Registries are literally the best things to happen to a future couple, oh you know, besides the whole engagement, marriage and eternal love thing.  They literally are better than Santa.  They might be better than Disney. Whoa I just said that.  Never again in your adult life will you be able to make a list telling people what you would like and have them get it for you.  This is a once in a lifetime experience and opportunity.  Savor the flavor and go big or go home.
