Wedding Planning and Engagement Time Line

SOUTHERN WEDDING STYLE | lace cake + seersucker suits + the perfect... - StumbleUpon Aright here we go… I believe it was Friday, girls and boys, when we stumbled upon something I believe I will choose never to speak of again on this blog. Something so hilariously in bad taste, something so phenomenally beyond the pale of what should happen on television, let alone in reality… something so redonkulously redonk, that I – well, simply put, I have very few to no words to speak on it. … so instead, I shall quote one of my many favorite lines from it. Oh, what was it? *It* was the Hooters 2011 International Swimsuit Pageant. Announcer: “Brooke is an Alabama football fan! LOL. Ok, so other than that, this weekend was pretty packed with happy thoughts and occurrences. … The above magnet is what my lovely sister brought home for me from her week in the Hamptons. Alright ANYWAAAYYYYY… that’s enough about my weekend, right? I’m MODERATELY PUMPED to share today’s feature with you guys. Here’s the killer rundown from Elyse: He loves his cousins. So, what think you? xoxo!

Five Best Places to Buy Cheap Textbooks First, check scribd.com for your book(more later). I just bought a book off of amazon, and I think that this article missed a VERY important part.. many of their books will display how much you can sell your book BACK to them for, and until what date(I can sell my book back by dec 31st and total cost of a $130 book will be $20 once sold back). Also, note, you do NOT need to buy your book from them for the guarantee, that book is just worth that much until that date. I am more than a bit upset about e-books though, they cost as much as rentals and they have expiration dates, you can only copy/print so much, and everyone I found can NOT be used on a mobile device(kindle, ipad, etc). Renting books, though you think you may be saving trees(You aren't, the publisher is still printing new editions), all you are doing is promising the publisher THEY get to make the money off of books time and again instead of students or websites cutting their profits.

Will You Be My Bridesmaid? | The Wedding Chicks - StumbleUpon It is more than acceptable to take your friends to lunch and ask them to be your bridesmaids. Or you can get crazy and whip a fabulous little box full of delightfulness like Bethany. Most of her bridesmaids-to-be lived far from her. Given how very much they meant to her, she did not want to text them and ask them to play a major role in her wedding. Bethany had a great “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” The outside of the box got two to three coats of light ivory to cover up the natural wood aura, and inside was treated to one layer of ivory, too. Bethany used a few sets of playfully calligraphic adhesive letters. Then it was time to tackle the contents. Bethany wanted to lay out all the details about the wedding. In the boxes, she placed photos of an inspiration board and paint chips to show where she was going with her color scheme. To learn about Bethany’s wedding you van visit her blog Rinse.

6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: While finding the ships at all was luck, by some kind of ridiculous freak luck McClusky's squadron arrived at the precise moment when all three Japanese carriers were reloading and rearming their aircraft. It'd be like this happening four times, and all in one battle. ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp. Commence mindfucking. Or, you know, two. Also on July Fourth.

A Fun DIY Idea To Keep Kids Entertained At Weddings - StumbleUpon This is such a simple yet brilliant idea… All you need is a printer, some card, pencils and a disposable camera! {via Martha Stewart Weddings} Send children on a photo scavenger hunt with this game of i-spy! They have to spot a variety of typical wedding day occurrences / outfits and tick them off on their list. {I recommend using pencils rather than felt tips as you could end up with felt tip stains all over their hands, clothes and the table cloths ~ and you wouldn’t want felt tips anywhere near your pristine white dress!} If you wanted to, you could provide a little incentive such as a small bag of sweets or a pound shop toy for the first child to find all the things on the list or simply give the treats to the children’s parents for them to hand out as they see fit. Staying focused on this task will be tricky for some children ~ especially younger children so parent’s could reward them when they feel they’ve tried their best. Here’s a larger version:
