Updates on our little wedding affair!

Yay! We've hired a photographer! Yes, her name is Jen and she is fantastic! She's on board with our non-traditional little soiree and is stoked about the venue! Check out her site at Photojenik Photography!

My brain is starting to morph into wedding mode. We've got a place and the person capturing the event. What about decor? I mean, Judy at Urban Oasis B & B has done a remarkable job decorating her place so we won't have to stage anything. She's put up some new photos of the place, so head over to www.urbanoasisbandb.com and check it out! However, I'm not that great on putting together little vignettes. I'm going to have to rely heavily on Etsy and my pack of gay guy pals to help me execute! Did I mention I heart Anne Taintor!?!?!

By the way, if you love weddings, and I know some of you gals do, please check out my latest obsession - BHLDN! So chic!

So, I'm thinking that we'll use vintage advertisements and some fun graphics to add to the effect! Here is some inspiration!

Extreme couponing...

I've become such a domestic. After being inspired from an "extreme couponing" marathon last weekend, I set out to learn the ways of savings!

I tried it for the first time this weekend. I think it went pretty well. I felt very disorganized and frantic when I was shopping and scared at the checkout ....we ended up spending $222.42 at 4 different stores and actually purchased $330.61 worth of groceries. Mind you, this was an unusually heavy trip for us including items like air deoderizer, hair color, butter, body wash, and other miscellaneous items like pet food and paper products. Not bad, not bad. I should receive my printer this week and ill be able to step it up a notch with more coupons. Yeah!
