...for my new last name.  even though it felt like a billion little things went wrong and i turned into super bitch bride to be the last week or so (um.. sorry heather, cory, mom, bethany, dj, and justin), everything came together and we got married.  and then, we partied like it's 1999 and i finished the wedding cake for dinner.  i can't wait to look through these photos on our 50th wedding anniversary.     

rainy days and mondays

...that, if it has to rain on our wedding day, our photographer might be able to salvage some cute shots out of the deal.  i don't know who these people are, but they look too in love to worry about soggy shoes and wet dress hems.  i hope to channel that inner zen this weekend.   

baby, you're a star

...that i loved big sunglasses way back when.  after talking with (finally!) my wedding photographer this afternoon, i'm not convinced that his vision involves my grown up big sunglasses.  i guess that's what candids are for.  between the sunglasses and pink cardigan i'm planning for our maybe-rain wedding morning, i'm happy that my mom doesn't read the blog.  we'll save those fun surprises for the reception. 

here comes the bride



self tanner, self tanner, self tanner.  my goodness.

...for great friends and bachelorette parties which were really not bachelorette-y at all.  midnight is the latest i've stayed out in a loooooong time.  in related news, my aarp membership card should be arriving any day now. 

no wait brisket

...that our favorite ayce korean bbq restaurant was so empty last friday night.  usually, it's a half hour wait, and that's only bc we come when the old people eat.  the hostess was just as confused as we were as to where everyone was.  "maybe there's a basketball game on?" haha.
