In other news, tomorrow I am off on my bachelor party weekend canoe trip down the James. Groomsmen Jesse and Ross have arranged this final passage into manhood for me, and I’m [...]

Too Busy To Post!?!?!

We will be more busy than usual this weekend (is that possible?) with selling, packing and moving. Also on the docket is the wedding of my cousin Clay and his fiancé Grace. It may be pretty quiet here on the blog until Sunday night. I don’t have much time to write anything of substance today [...]

The Way We Were

So, until last week I’d just assumed I’d get a plain, flat silver wedding band. Modern; gold was gauche. But Steph has been working on me. She of course wants her band to match her engagement ring, which is an Art Deco pinkie ring that I had reset and resized. And, the more I think [...]

Planning Update and Planning Distraction

James and I have been at wedding planning for about four months now and we are really starting to get the hang of it. At first it was a daunting challenge, but we’ve knocked out a lot of the “big stuff”. It’s getting closer to what I think will be the most enjoyable part: the [...]
