Lately it seems like i’ve been so busy doing stuff, i don’t have a whole lot of time to write about it. I’m sorry! I do have lots of awesome wedding-related stuff in the works, and i’ve accomplished a lot on my freakout list from a couple weeks back. I’ll get to it all eventually, [...]

the evolution of my obsession with lights.

So, after the lovely Glen Echo bride Tyrese commented that she was a teensy bit worried about my plan to hang cafe lights all over the Bumper Car Pavilion, i got to thinking. I’m not sure i totally agree (and even if i did, i fear my obsession with the lights themselves would win out [...]

I hope you’re all enjoying a stellar New Year. I’ve been away for a while — Joe and i moved over the weekend into our first home as a couple, and i’ve been scrambling over the past couple of weeks to get everything ready for the move. But we did it! And now i’m back [...]

Quite simply, this is so. She’s a phenom, and we are so, so lucky to have snapped her up when we did! First, a little backstory. When i was first waving my engagement ring around the office and gushing to anyone who would listen about my awesome fiance and my ridiculous excitement about getting married, [...]

So, after an unplanned wee break from blogging, i’m back with details of where at our radical venue we’ll be having the reception. Behold: the Bumper Car Pavilion!
This is the actual pavilion where recreation-seekers of yore actually crashed bumper cars into each other! There aren’t any actual bumper cars left in the space (which, honestly, [...]
the great venue hunt 2008, part awesome

I’ve kept you waiting. I know. But the venue of your dreams doesn’t come along every day. Or every month. As Joe can attest, sometimes the venue of your dreams comes only after you’ve personally inspected at least ten places, made more than 30 phone calls, studied spreadsheets, and made list after scratched-up notebook-paper list [...]

As promised, i am back to deliver you with the last venue we didn’t pick for our wedding. I actually saw this place on the same day we found our venue, so my memory is just a little clouded by the awesomeness of the evening, but i’ll tell you all i can remember about The [...]

I promise i’m getting close to revealing my awesome, gorgeous, super-fantastic venue. But first, there are two more places i want to tell you about. Both of these venues were in our Top Three, and it would have been hard to pick between them had we not discovered the place we booked.
First, allow me to [...]

So, with the Sewall-Belmont House out, i hit the Internet again. This time i was looking for a place that would definitely hold our (rapidly swelling) guest list for both a ceremony and a reception. After having learned about the complications of catering at a place with no real kitchen facilities (and reading about how [...]

Once we’d decided we wanted to get married in the DC area, i began scouring the interwebs for possible locations. And let me tell you, you would be AMAZED at the sheer number of possible venues around here. I found sites ranging from $1,000 to well over $10,000 — just for a site fee!
I won’t [...]
