It's our 7 year wedding anniversary today. After a weekend with no sleep (4 month old not doing so hot in that department) and a yellow lab who swallowed a meatball with a toothpick on it...we celebrated quite modestly with a 45 minute dinner at a local chain restaurant. Sigh. Perhaps we'll do better next year. I take comfort in the fact that I'm still smitten with my man- a fabulous guy I still can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. As the front of our wedding program said, "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be!"

I was honored that the last Martha Stewart Weddings magazine included some snaps from our wedding in the '15 years of great wedding ideas' issue! Here's our shout out on the MSW website (though you spelled my name wrong Martha-ites... hint, hint!).

i do (again)

My friend Melodie (and her husband) decided to celebrate their anniversary by renewing their vows every 5 years.  While the sentimental part of that is awfully sweet, it's the do-over wedding that really appeals to me! Even though I loved my wedding day (didn't we all?), I think it would be fun to do something that reflected my current mood and style. Melodie and her husband, Matty- celebrated with a 'retro' wedding in Vegas and even hired a photographer to document the occasion. I'm inspired!

clever table numbers

We went to a lovely wedding this weekend outside the Philadelphia area. So much thought had been put into every detail, there were even some beautiful flowers in the bathroom (bottom photo)! The best takeaway idea were the table numbers- each numbered table (it was a seated dinner) had framed photos that coordinated to the age of the bride and groom. Table 22, for example, had a picture of the bride graduating from college and the groom on a family trip with his siblings (at age 22). I only wish they had opened the seating area earlier so I could go around and look at all the other tables! I hadn't seen this done before, and thought it could be done stylishly in so many ways.
