I'm married!!

I write to you a married lady and by now am probably just arriving in Italy! I had the best day of my entire life on Saturday and I cannot wait to tell you about everything. It went absolutely perfectly and I wouldn't have had it any other way! Enjoy my posts for the next few days and I'll be back in June!

It's Wedding Week!

Oh my goodness...it's wedding week! I had one of the longest weekends of my LIFE, but it was good.
Chris somehow managed to make it back from his bachelor party in Montreal alive and well...phew! The boys had a 6-8 hour drive to and from Montreal, so I sent them off with some goodies on Friday:

As many of you may know, Chris and I currently live in an apartment in the basement of his parent's house. However, as of last week, his parents officially moved out to a gorgeous new place two blocks away and we are now in the process of moving upstairs to live in the house! But let me tell you, moving and setting up your life in a "new" place within the same two weeks of your wedding is beyond stressful. Since there was still a lot to do, both for the wedding and the house, my parents came up from Pennsylvania for the weekend and I seriously don't know what I would have done if they didn't come. Chris' parents also helped us out a ton and we got the whole kitchen set up with all of our shower and wedding gifts unpacked and ready to go (won't use any of them till after the wedding though!), the out of town bags completed, and about 98% of my wedding projects done. My goal was to have nothing to think about or do this coming week...but let's be honest...would that really ever happen?

Last week we wanted to eat dinner in our new dining room. But until we get in new carpets, we aren't moving up any furniture, so picnic on the floor it was!

 

So there is still quite a bit to do...but I'm feeling ready and excited for this week. The only ominous thing? The 5 day forecast!!!! What a beautiful Spring week huh?....not.

Please tell me this is common and will change by the weekend!

5 days!!!!!

2011 Weddings

Happy Friday and Happy Wedding weekend to Laura @ Wine and Cheese Please! Laura seems to be officially kicking off the 2011 wedding season! With the weather as amazing as it is here in New York I definitely feel like Spring is officially here, which is just so exciting! Congratulations Laura and I can't wait to hear all about it!

There is such a great community of blogging brides who all follow each other, and I wanted/needed to have some organization to my blogroll in order to remember everyone's dates.
