The last few months before the wedding were about treading water. What needs to be done right now?...

Since the list format was working so well for me during the last few posts, let’s just continue that trend, shall we? Things I forgot to do: Take off a few pounds. Yes, I know I’m not supposed to care about that, but I secretly...

shock and awe

These final weeks of planning a wedding are like being on drugs. The euphoric, blissful highs are always bound to be followed by crushing, empty comedowns. For every item you cross off the list, for every minor victory,...

New developments! I have them. Witness what’s transpired in the last few days: My face has bloomed an awesome new connect-the-dots pattern.* I have valiantly battled Getting Sick. I pulled out all my best moves, like...

it’s too late to change your mind

by lyn | Aug 25, 2010 | planning | 34

The searching, I think, is the single worst part of wedding planning. Searching for wedding stuff seems like — from the outset, at least — tangible progress. It’s a necessary means to a specific end. But, ah,...

Guys, it’s been a hard go of it here in Lyn+Beau Land™ recently. The beau spent the past week working his butt off at a taco booth to raise money for his rugby team,* only to turn around and take off on a work trip for...

regrets, i’ve had a few

I’m a lazy bride. And I’m not just talking about the fact that I’d rather rent burlap table runners than make my own. I don’t so much actively seek out our vendors as I trip and fall into them. Our photographer? Was the first...

As we trudge ever onward towards our wedding day, you may notice more action-item type posts from me. That is because we are truly in the “working on shit” part of the planning. There is no room anymore for postulating, or...

showtime

by lyn | Jun 7, 2010 | philosophy, wedding stress | 12

Look, I’m fully aware that I’m not all that and a bag of chips — I know that people won’t stare at me, slack-jawed, all wedding day long. Amazingly, our guests have other interests. They lead full lives. They will be...

in which everything is JUST FINE, thank you

by lyn | Jun 2, 2010 | wedding stress | 18

As we creep ever closer to the hallowed 100-day mark* I’ve been a tad, how shall I say, down in the mouth about all those things on that wedding to-do list I’ve been ignoring. A week ago I actually had to lie down in the grass...
