Wedding Updates

Okay, okay – I’m a terrible blogger! December 1, 2009 was my last post? That’s embarrassing. And to top it all off? I haven’t even looked at your blog or posted a comment. Blogger friends – I’m so very sorry… I promise to be better in 2010.

I typically have an excuse for my blog slacking – and you are about to get an incredible list of “why’s”. I have been wedding-planning crazy and it’s been a blast!


1) We picked a date: July 3, 2010!!!!!!!

2) We picked a place: Washington Golf and Country Club in Arlington, VA.

3) I found my dress!!!!! Unfortunately, I can not post a picture of it since BJ reads my blog. But what I can tell you: it’s absolutely gorgeous!

4) The girls bought their bridesmaid dresses. They are BCBG and totally fabulous.

5) We have a photographer. Her name is Kristi and she’s awesome! She is insanely talented and really, really cool. I can’t wait for our engagement session and wedding day! (Check out her blog.)

6) The wedding colors are: bright blue (bridesmaid dress) and yellow (I’m carrying sunflowers) with accents of lime green. I was inspired by this awesome paisley print.

7) I’m this close to ordering the invitations – made by a local woman who sells on Etsy. If you don’t know about Etsy, now you do and today is pretty much the best day of your life. Etsy rocks!

Looking at this list, I really hope you can forgive me for:
A) not writing sooner
B) being a bad blogging friend

I’m headed to (sunny) Florida tomorrow for 9 days and will have plenty of time to catch up on my blog reading. I also have an awesome running announcement – and will post soon.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

xoxo I RUN LIKE A GIRL

  1. YAY glad you're figuring out everything with yo wedding 🙂
    Haha, the funny thing is that I ALWAYS watch fireworks at the Washington Gold and Country Club on July 4th- a day after your wedding!

  2. Umm.. that venue is unbelievable! I absolutely can't wait to see the wedding photos! Congrats on all the progress. Your absence is forgiven =)

  3. Congrats on all the wedding checks. Planning my wedding has been one of the most fun things to do. And I understand how distracting it can be. And July seems to be a good month for weddings. We're getting married on the 17th!

  4. Wow, I can't believe how much you've accomplished! That's great! My sisters getting married July 10th and I'm watching her go through this too, there's so much to do! But you seem to be on top of it and doing a great job!
    Those bridesmaid dresses are so cute!

  5. Wow, you have been a busy, busy bride-to-be! Yay for getting so much done.

  7. Ah that's our date too! Please post more often so I know if I'm on track. I have no clue when it comes to this wedding planning stuff!

  8. CONGRATS on all the decisions on the wedding. I understand, after I got engaged I forgot to pay the bills that were on my desk until 2 weeks later–its all that love it clouds your brain 🙂

  9. I've been wondering where you were. Just when I discovered your blog, you vanished… I love all things wedding. Please keep your blog updated on the details.

  10. Congrats on getting so much done! Planning a wedding can take a lot of time, and so can blogging, so it's absolutely understandable that you've had to take some time off from the online world!

  14. OHH where are you going to be in FL? I'm always looking for people to sucker in to a run!

  24. Ok, I've been bad, too. My laptop died and I had to get a new one…. and am now trying to get my "life" back together….. by going back and bookmarking all my blogs. Everything looks amazing! That paisley is to die for. My 12 year old went nuts when I showed her, she loves paisley! Enjoy every minute of this!!!!

  25. Awww, I loved planning my wedding. You enjoy every single minute of it. :o)

  26. I loved planning my wedding, too – it's so much fun! Your wedding is going to be absolutely stunning, those are killer bridesmaids dresses.
