My Top 11 Most Annoying/Overplayed Wedding Reception Songs
August 7, 2007So I figured I would write my first "real" Blog about something I feel very passionate about: Music. One of the key elements to a memorable, fantastic wedding reception is the overall FUN factor and atmosphere of the event; which is captured partly by choosing the right music. A great DJ or band can read their crowd and knows how to create flow with a great mixture of songs: old and new, fast and slow. A bad DJ plays the same old crap at every wedding, no matter what the circumstances. When I attend a...

When An Eyelash Falls
August 13, 2007
When an eyelash falls out, put it on the back of the hand, make a wish and throw it over your shoulder. If it flies off the hand your wish will be granted. Stop! Wishing is lame, replace that eyelash or get some longer more dramatic ones from Extreme Audrey.
These are no drug store false eyelashes. They are Xtreme Lashes; individual semi-permanent lashes. Styles vary from a natural fuller look or a bold and dramatic flavor. The best part is the lashes can last up to two or more with... -

Drum Call
August 28, 2007
The African Dance was an unexpected treat by Gwen and Jonas. This is truly diverse celebrating.
Surprise everyone by opening your ceremony with African Drums. There is a hush in the audience (hopefully, they're not shocked and confused). Then, in the distance, a succession of rhythmic beats. Ancient instruments fill the air. Regally, majestically, and powerfully, the bride enters. Your subjects rise in respect and awe! It's a moving experience.
In the African Diaspora, the drum is used to tell... -

Okay, it is time to get this out in the open where everyone can hear it. Consider this a big giant SCREAM in written language. I will not type the entire blog in capital letters (internet speak for yelling) because I imagine that would be incredibly annoying to read. So I will just inform you ahead of time that the general mood of this particular blog is ANGRY. Why so angry, you may ask? Well thanks for asking. You are very kind.

Do it Yourself Rings…
My husband and I made both our engagement rings and our wedding rings. For us this made sense given that we are both crafty and pretty much knew exactly what we wanted. It also saved us quite a lot of money!Norman is a musician, but over the last 7 or 8 years has gotten into designing and fabricating really cool multi-layered plexi-glass clocks that he calls clockthings. They are inspired by different things, but mostly music, movies and Bollywood. He's made many over the...
