The love story continues: I have a serious issue with my feet. I can’t stand them and don’t enjoy it when people look at my feet. To my horror, after Joel pulled John and I from the PGA event to join the crew, I started a conversation with one of the tour executives and while we were talking the executive looked down and said, “Wow, you must have some really cute feet, because you are so tall.” Immediately the entire crew, John, Jan and Joel all stopped talking to look at my feet. “OMG!” It was like standing naked in a spotlight in front of strangers. I wanted to find a way to hide them immediately, but no such luck. Read more»

I sent John on a mission to find something sweet for dessert and he stumbled upon Kiss My Bundt Bakery which specializes in delicious, made-from-scratch bundt cakes and southern-inspired confections. What a treat!

He brought home a sample of three mini bundt cakes that just made me loose my mind. Not only can you choose the cake flavor, but you also get to choose your frosting À la minute.

What a wonderful dessert to serve at your bridal shower or wedding reception. On the menu is a champagne bundt cake that is made from real champagne. Pair that with straw-raspberry buttercream frosting and you have a dessert worthy of a toast.

This weeks pillow or should I say pillows are both 12×16 in size and made from 100% cotton fabric. Both are made with a zipper for easy cover removal and washing.The donation for these pillows is $25 plus shipping. Thank you for supporting our wedding dream!

The love story continues:There are a few things a man has to have to attract me to him and ask anyone that knows me-it is not the material things in life. Although, there is nothing wrong with that according to my high school volleyball coach who once told me, “It is just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is a poor one.” For me a few key things that a man has to have are great hands, beautiful eyes and a compassionate being. So when John handed me the grape from the vine, I paid special attention and his hands are perfect. So he had already won me over with his eyes and the only thing remaining from my list was the compassion. Is he compassionate, time would tell? Read more»

Check out the new pillow of the week. It is a perfect color for spring! I chose to add a little yellow to the mix because Yellow is the “It” color for weddings this year. If you have any ideas on how to incorporate the color yellow into a wedding theme please leave comments at the end of this post.

The love story continues: Dinner that night was a blur. Up until this trip I really was not a wine connoisseur and had no idea how to really order it or what great wine is supposed to taste like. Read more»

The one thing that I will always admit to is my love for cupcakes so when I discovered Cupcake Vineyards Chardonnay, I had to try it.

After one taste I was hooked. It is like treating yourself to layers of decadence. The other reason I thought I would share this fun find is to give you a non-traditional idea of using Cupcake Vineyards Wines for your dessert table at your wedding. Especially if you are opting for a cupcake tier rather then a wedding cake. It would make for a sweet pairing!

The love story continues: There is something to be said about waking up early in a strange town, on a strange bed to a day that you have no control over. Read more»

I saw these cute mint pillows mentioned on a $10,000 wedding blog. What a great idea for wedding favors if you are a bride on a budget. I thought they were relevant since they can be sewn and are called pillows. Click on the photo and it will link to the directions on greetingarts.

I finally did it! I made my first pillow. It took me four weeks of classes, multiple screw ups, and a new found appreciation for a labor of love. This pillow is a lot like love…Not perfect, a little rough around the edges, it took a little time to come together, but it is solid and ready to be appreciated.

The Love Story begins…Just like this pillow my life is not perfect and it is very rough around the edges.

However, I feel that life and God bring you exactly what you need when you need it and God brought me John at a very crucial point in my life. Read more»
