Cheese, Anyone?

 
One of my oldest friends (I have two, and they are both bridesmaids), has been sending me daily inspiration via FaceBook and Pinterest- she's in Maryland, and I'm in Boston, so having social media platforms to share ideas is awesome.
Some of the ideas she's come up with are brilliant- actually most of them have been.  She has been married to her military man for years; and because she was so overwhelmed, they considered Vegas, but settled on a romantic boat ride to Niagara Falls- just her and her hubby.  So, she's loving helping me plan my wedding. 
She's very sentimental and traditional, she has unique ideas, but manages to twist them into romantic ties that she knows I will love.  I'm wondering what she will think of this idea...



TA-DA... I know My Guy will love it... what person wouldn't love a cheese fountain?!

Advice from the Waiting Room



I ran into an old friend this morning while waiting an appointment and we had a few minutes to catch up; she's recently married, and expecting a little bundle of joy.  After chatting about her wedding, and what's she's been up to, she offered a few words of advice for my big day.

1.  It goes by so fast- make sure you eat.

2.  Get to your cocktail reception- make it to the party and say hello to everyone individually then- so when the music starts you can dance the night away!

4.  Keep certain traditions- there will be things that you can't change, take back, or do over.

3.  It's your day, while you want to be considerate of others and making life easy for them- make sure you enjoy it. 

While it's things every Bride To Be can find this advice in a magazine, or online hearing it from a friend made all the difference.
