It's a nice day for a WHITE WEDDING!
Tomorrow's the big day! The culmination of big events in my July 2010 datebook. Tomorrow is our wedding reception.
Since only nine family members were able to make it over to Maui for the actual wedding, we decided to have a local celebration so we could share the experience with our other friends and family. Our beach ceremony was intimate and elegant, so we opted for a more "fun" theme for this party. The choice was obvious: 80's.
We're talking slap bracelets, cassette tapes, bubblegum cigarettes, and a PacMan AND Mario cake. My husband built a photo backdrop complete with metallic curtains a neon teal background. I created a complete Candy Bar with all of the best vintage candies, and I splatter painted the table cloth that will cover the present table. It's going to be totally rad.

Saturday.
It's hard for me to sit still. I've always been a go-go-go sort of personality, and having kids and a career only seem to ignite my constant need to be doing something. For as long as I can remember, if I wasn't spending every waking moment running an errand or wiping down a counter, I felt completely lazy and unaccomplished. Lately, however, I've been enjoying my weekends a lot more. It feels great to lay in bed watching movies for hours on end, though I still feel pretty guilty afterward.
Today I had the luxury of having a day alone, so I took advantage of the time by getting all of my pre-vacation primping out of the way. I got my nails done, and even treated myself to a pedicure. But it just wouldn't be my life without some kind of kink in the wire, so I mixed things up by fainting in the middle of a hair salon. Oh yes, we're talking standing one minute, and on the floor covered in drinking water the next. What's that, you called 911? Oh FABULOUS, because being sprawled out on this tile isn't humiliating enough, Miss Salon Lady. Fortunately the mortification was the only thing serious about this experience-- I'm just fine. A combination of not eating breakfast (well, eating Twizzlers FOR breakfast) and jumping up too quickly just happens to be the recipe for buckling at the knees.
After that little mishap, I headed to the mall and grabbed a tank top and some panties, and new summer clothes for the kids, then headed home for a much needed nap. My allergies and migraine seemed to be going full force today. When I got up, I packed up the kid's suitcases and airplane packs and did some laundry, so I haven't been a total bum today.
Other than that, I don't have much to share. Tomorrow I have to conclude the packing and get the house in order for our house-sitter. I definitely want the place to be clean and tidy when we get back from our nine-day trip so I don't have to worry about anything but resuming my lazy streak for a few days. Keep an eye out for posts from the islands... I'll try to share some pictures too. Until then, Aloha!

Bridal Fascinators
Wow, it’s been awhile. I thought it was time to give some love and attention to the ‘ol blog.
A lot has happened since my last post. I recently became engaged, and planning the big day has taken up a lot of my spare time. My newest obsession comes in the form of floral and feathered headbands, hair pieces and fascinators. Check out this collection I came across from the Ban.Do line for Brides. I love everything about these pieces, including the model.
