Wedding M&M's

Yesterday we received a box of M&M's my mom ordered for us for the wedding personalized with our names and wedding date. They are so cute! At every holiday we always have M&M's so my mom thought it was fitting to have them at the wedding too! Now I just need to keep them in a cool place till the wedding and figure out a pretty way to display them :)

My Sister is the Best

My sister is the best! At our wedding we are going to put baskets in the bathrooms and fill them with some items our guests might need like band aids, mints, tylenol, etc. A little while ago my sister found these small packets of tissues with an S for my fiance's last name and my soon to be last name initial. Yesterday she called to let me know that she got the rest of the supplies for the baskets. She is the best :)

One Month Away

July 31, 2006 was the day I knew I would spend forever with my best friend. My fiance, Eric, asked me to marry him while we watched the sunrise in Duck, North Carolina. We woke up early the first day of our vacation, I grabbed my camera, beach towel, we put on our flip flops and walked to the beach. I was wearing a t-shirt my brother gave me that said Martha is my home girl. I love Martha Stewart, had I known what was about to happen I might have worn something fancier :) Looking back, it was perfect I was wearing that t-shirt.

I love taking pictures (any vacation with less than six hundred pictures means I might have missed some important moment or detail :) so I walked to the ocean and took a picture. Then I walked back to where Eric was sitting on a beach towel. He said "I found you something" and handed me a silver seashell. I thought the seashell was the surprise, then I opened it and saw the ring! I didn't say anything and Eric said "you have to say something." I said "of course yes!!"

Our wedding is one month from today and I am so excited!

Our First Place Setting

We received our first place setting today from my fiance's parents. It is so pretty!

Just a Fancier BBQ

For the past few summers my fiance and I have had a BBQ and invited all of our friends. Our BBQs have always had some sort of theme from beach to western. Last summer was our last BBQ in Massachusetts before moving to North Carolina.

Over the weekend as I was feeling a little bit overwhelmed with wedding planning it helps to think that our wedding is just a fancier BBQ. Our family and friends will just be traveling a little bit further and will be wearing a little bit fancier clothes :)

Martha Stewart and KitchenAid

This weekend at Macy's I discovered that KitchenAid has a Martha Stewart Blue Collection! The picture of the stand mixer from my phone doesn't do it justice :)

Cute Quote

We have been making the wine for our wedding but it didn't quite turn out as we had planned so we have decided to use it for something else. This week we went to Trader Joes and bought the wine for our wedding instead. When I was putting everything away I noticed this quote on the paper bag from Trader Joes and I thought it was really cute :)
