Two Wedding Dresses

I bought a second wedding dress. Winnie Couture! That is all I will say about that.

Cakes and Cake Stands

So many options. How do you choose?

Handsome Men

They are not feathers but they might do. Will the Groomerilla go for the Argyles? That is the question.

To Cook or Not To Cook

I know witch one looks the best to me. How about you?

Real Simple Wedding

Get this magazine if you ever plan on getting married. It has everything you will ever need to know about "Tying the Knot"

Feathers and The Groom Gorilla

This is a look from a real wedding. So elegant.

I love this look.
The Babettes have created a feather frenzy. Especially with Destry. Any mention of feathers and he turns into Groomorilla. Feather boutonniere anyone?

The Quest for the Perfect Cake Stand

Is this not the most fantastic cake stand you have ever seen. Mom and Dad are on the quest for the perfect Amber Glass Cake Stand. I am also looking for Amber Dessert Plates for all the tables. Keep an eye out.

I love elephants! Especially baby Sam at the Oregon Zoo.

The Proposal

August 20 th: Destry surprised me by proposing in front of family after a BBQ hamburger picnic in the living room. Yummy! I was so shocked, I thought I just might just throw up. Everything was perfect except my sister and Andrew were not there.
