Made My Day

Lately this whole wedding planning "thing" has not been as enjoyable as I imagined. Granted everything is pretty much done and booked, but now what remains are the pesky little details, following up with non-responsive vendors, and waiting for everything to come together. Last Friday, after a week of all work (58 hours from Monday-Friday) and no play in Nashville, TN I had resolved to just take a break from blogging and wedding planning for a week or so in hopes of regaining some of my life back.
But then I woke up on Saturday morning and I had an e-mail from Stacey Kane waiting for me. Yes. THE Stacey Kane.


(Stacey captured this photo when the bride & the groom realized their checkbook was missing & the caterer needed to be paid!)

Allow me to share a couple sentences Stacey wrote after she read #4 on this post:

"...It was during my overnight marathon comforting (my son who was sick) that I stumbled across your blog....and after a very long day and night....you warmed my heart and made me smile. My initial reaction was actually disbelief...."is she really talking about me?". I absolutely adore my job and it means the world to me when others appreciate my work."

This blog began as a way for me to gather inspiration for our wedding and perhaps become a part of weddingbee , but it has turned into so much more than that. I have come across some fabulous people through my blog: from someone that is willing to help me design my invites, to a potential day-of-coordinator, to lots of readers everyday that post helpful and insightful comments. So its little things that have gotten me out of my blogging slump lately. Things like the kind e-mail from Stacey Kane, BUYING my dress earlier today, and getting an e-mail from weddingbee that they will be reviewing my application to become a bee in a couple months!

So I'm back to blogging (even though I never went away). This week I'll be posting on ideas for our save the date cards, supplies for our invitations, our finished website, and a new poll. Get excited!
