Last Reply by ccd 1369335949.16 | Started by Shawn Killinger in Beauty Banter, Fashion Talk, Hosts & PersonalitiesI've been married 3 weeks now. People keep asking me how it feels. My answer: I don't feel any different now than I did before, except that it's fun and totally weird (in a good way) to use the expression, "...my husband" in conversation. Joe and I are overwhelmed and honored and humbled by the support and love all of you have shown us. There is no amount of thanks possible to share our gratitude. I know our wedding journey on my FB page began to rival the 'Luke & Laura' saga on GH. Ha! But joy has a funny way of making you gush 24/7. For those of you who aren't on FB and didn't see t...

Your love and joy for me and Joe has been amazing. Joe and I are eternally grateful. Thank you for letting me gush and bore you w all the pictures and details. This picture is of all the well wishes people wrote on tiny cards at my wedding.
They then hung the cards on a rope w laundry clips (think rustic barn chic). My fav piece of marriage advice was, "never underestimate the power of, 'I'm wrong, you're right, I'm sorry'". The rules were, "please write on a card one place we shoul...

It’s a holding prayer cross from Bethlehem, Israel ….. so special to me.
Also, wanted to share a story/reading our Pastor Pat gave us. It is such a wise, heartfelt, humble, honest reading. If only we could all master this, we probably would never struggle in our love relationships. It's called Different Drummers ~

These r the most sinfully good gnocchi. I'm not kidding, better than anything I have ever tasted in Italy. Joe is Italian so a little pasta is def on menu. Plus, for my dad we will have lemon bars, for me tuna tartar, for mom tenderloin w blue cheese...and in honor of my brother (my "man of honor" who used to live in Boston) mini lobster rolls. Do u remember what u ate at ur wedding?

I waited all winter for snow (I love it; if I could live in Switzerland or lake Placid, I would) and then it comes...WHEN I'M READY FOR SPRING! I had already put up my Bethlehem Lights hanging prelit flowers. I joked with my wedding coordinator that if Mother Nature throws me a curve ball on my upcoming wedding and brings a freak storm again, I don't know what I'll do!!! :)
Mom's bday was on 23rd. I sent her a huge angel statue I got from my fav dept store (you know, the one with valet parking). Mom deserved a splurge. She's nervous about the big wedding bc sh...

Went to cake tasting recently. Man is this tough. Buttercream icing, regular frosting, cream cheese frosting.. AHHHHH!!!! There r so many choices.
Am leaning towards cinnamon cake or red velvet. Old fashioned simple delish. Want cake to look like old southern grandma living in farmhouse w country kitchen and wrap porch, just put on her apron and whipped it up! (Wow, I've created quite a backstory to this simple cake)
what flavor was ur cake? (And did u save a piece for ur 1st Annv?)

Is that silly adorable!? I couldn't resist. He will be wearing little velvet man-suit w blk sneaks.
do u remember any priceless, funny 'walk down aisle' stories from weddings u have been to? (One of my bff's actually had her dog as her ring bearer.)

So we r getting hitched at rustic place and instead of traditional table numbers, we r doing hanging chalkboard signs w names that mean something to us. Maybe like, "Portofino & Paris" (our honeymoon) ... Etc.
just went to friends wedding in snow country and she named each table after things like, "bobsled" and "ski". so cute(Ugh but the seating chart...what a challenge that is. Did you struggle w that too?) Continue Reading Last Reply by cowgirl1! 1368410188.483 | Started by Shawn Killinger in Beauty Banter, Fashion Talk, Hosts & PersonalitiesHello Q-ers,
I have been terribly delinquint on blogging. My sincerest apologies for being such a flake. I am so stressed trying to juggle a million flaming swords known as my wedding rings, wedding dress, food, decor, cakes, RSVP's...all along with my regular hectic life and career...that I feel truly at my max. Like, any minute I'm going to either melt into a pile or just snap!
Ok, quick wedding update since I know you all are hungry for some deets. Are you following my Wedding Wednesday posts? Latest update includes ... I'm doing a red velvet/buttercream cake...my brother (8yrs older than... Continue Reading
