2 sizes, 2 cities, 2 girls trying to dress ourselves—preferably in matching outfits
Between the two of us, we have been to three bachelorette parties in Austin. Add on countless weekend trips, and the fact that Kat went to school just north of this weird city, we will consider ourselves two Having Fun In Austin pros. Here's a Bachelorette Party that we planned, loosely based off the bachelorettes [...]
So Don't Waste Your Time Or Money on Them! Reading through Kathryn's Good, Bad, and Ugly series about her wedding got me thinking about the things that weren't necessarily good or bad, but just meh. Things that were totally fine, but that no one really seemed to care about. Since I'm in the midst of [...]
It's been two years since Kathryn and Joe got engaged, I can't believe how quickly time has flown by! In honor of that anniversary, we thought we'd share her engagement story in its entirety. You may have caught bits and pieces of it over in my post about designing her ring, but it there were [...]

My wedding was wonderful, but it was far from perfect. In fact, there was a horrifying incident during the reception that I talked about in the "ugly" part of this blog series. Despite the imperfections, I still have the best memories of the day, simply because I got to marry my husband, Joe, surrounded by [...]

I wonder if our jobs will still be stable enough to afford it, if venues and vendors will be able to financially weather the storm, if my family and friends will even be able to gather together in the same [...]
As y'all know, I'm a bride on a budget. As a grad student, I have to pinch pennies and I've gotten pretty good at finding what I want for way less. For my regular wardrobe sales, coupon codes, and secondhand keep me on budget but put the word "wedding" in front of anything and you'll [...]
As you know from my Getting Started post, New Orleans was the first city we decided to tour venues in. New Orleans is an extremely popular wedding destination. There are a ton of options both inside and outside the French Quarter ranging from tiny balconies for elopements to grand ballrooms for a big southern soireé. [...]
There were gunshots in the street, right outside of my venue, during my wedding. I've been wanting to write and share more about our wedding for a while now, but it feels inauthentic for me to talk about the wonderful day without mentioning something that I'm still processing. About 2/3 of the way through our [...]
If you've read my previous MOH proposal post, you know that I started planning Kathryn's bachelorette right away. Partially because I was excited and partially because she wanted to have it on Labor Day weekend, which is super busy in New Orleans due to the Southern Decadence festival. To give you some context: Kathryn had [...]
