I planned my wedding through the ideas and inspiration of the web and many other blogs. I am now officially a married lady (as of June 12, 2010). 

I now am going to focus on myself and using my blog to take you through my life as a wife, a friend, a daughter, a creator, and a planner.  I will continue to post about weddings and events, because I have such a passion for planning the BIG day. I look forward to embarking on new recipes, new home projects and all that comes with this next phase as a newlywed. Enjoy the ride with me!

I have added the ability for all of you to comment, I would really appreciate everyone’s feedback.

&lt;p&gt;Time Lapse Pregnancy, a 9 month project in under two minutes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love creative and happy new parents. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So beautiful! I love the surprise at the end :D&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her room was decorated, clothes were hung in her closet and we were actively talking about our little girl we would meet in a couple months. After a 4D ultrasound to see our little girl more in depth we quickly learned that it was not a little girl at all. After the shock wore off and I grieved the &amp;#8220;idea&amp;#8221; of my little girl a lesson has been learned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trust your gut, no matter what it tells you. Follow your heart and don&amp;#8217;t judge yourself because of the feelings you are having. It is okay to feel sad about something you lost, as long as you look forward and realize how fortunate you are for all you have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our little boy will join the family in 2 short months, and as I adjust to answering, &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m having a boy&amp;#8221; I know whatever gender our baby is, it will be the most loved, adored and wonderful addition to our lives.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.thewivesbook.tumblr.com/post/13655856398</link><guid>http://www.thewivesbook.tumblr.com/post/13655856398</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:53:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>arsvivendi:

Most of us don’t really like to dance, so I’m looking for other types of entertainment that wouldn’t be tacky but still fit in the picnic theme. Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Requested By: &lt;a href="http://classidi.tumblr.com"&gt;Cassidi B.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cassidi’s Vintage Whimsical Inspired Reception was the winner of last weeks FYWI   Fanspiration Friday contest. I love the idea of vintage furniture at weddings and the vintage couch in the inspiration board matched the color scheme perfectly. Colorful streamers, like the ones attached to the bride &amp; groom chairs, is a way to portray the whimsical side of the theme. I also included a stream-like rug that matched the color scheme and I like it because I can picture combining 4 together and using them for an indoor photo booth backdrop or as decor for the candy bar table that Cassidi plans to have. It’ll make a great DIY project!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your submission! The  board will be posted on the   sidebar    tonight until it is replaced next  week by this week’s   inspiration  board winner. Voting for this week’s winner has begun and  ends on Sunday!! Click &lt;a href="http://www.twiigs.com/poll/Society_&amp;_Culture/78590"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to vote.&lt;/p&gt;
