If you are looking for an idea for a date night, or any night for that matter, I definitely recommend going to see "Slumdog Millionaire." We went last night and I can easily say that it is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
I don't want to spoil the movie, because if I am incapable of describing a plot line with out ruining it! However, I will say that it is a sweet and wonderful love story that promises to have you leave the theatre smiling.

For only the sixth time in team history, the Philadelphia Phillies won the National League Championship series to advance to the World Series. And for only the first time in my history, I am marrying their biggest fan, at the same time. It is official. 9 days from now, I will be having a world series wedding. I have spent the last year joking about the possibility of this, never imagining that it could actually happen. Needless to say, there is no option other than winning the whole damn thing!!!
Go Phils!

This couple hit the nail on the head. All the hours spent planning, finalizing each individual detail, in hopes of absolute perfection will matter nothing, if you don't take a step back and enjoy yourself and your own wedding. It's your party, enjoy it! Celebrate! Scoff at tradition and party like a rock star!
I love it!

Well, it seems the impossible may be possible, as I find myself three weeks from the big day, in the throws of post season baseball, and staring down the door of a World Series wedding. However, much like the weather, the Phillies going to the National League Championship series for the first time in fifteen years, is completely out of my control. I am a seven game series away from my fiance breaking down in tears of shear joy that the team he has loved for so long has brought him to the promised land.
And we will be in Florida. For our wedding. I am choosing not to think too hard about this fact, or feel insane guilt for taking him, as well as thirty other crazed fans away from this town during historic baseball times. The fact is I am one of those baseball fans. I am thrilled that the Phillies are doing this well, it is absolutely amazing to know what it is like to actually win! So, I say bring it on! I am adding another layer of uniqueness to the wedding by saying that I may be the only bride out there who wants a World Series wedding.
A city girl at heart, I find the idea of moving to the suburbs at this particular point in my life to be frightening. However, I will say that if my life winds down that road, and moving to better school systems is an inevitability, this is the suburban housewife you can probably expect me to be... Love it!

I'm putting the cart before the horse, but I saw this picture on Brooke Schwab's blog, and all I can say is that one day, when we are happily married, I only hope we have a child who is as cool as this little girl....

I am a big fan of bold and bright colors at weddings, it evokes such a fun and playful atmosphere. This wedding, shot by the very talented Jennifer Dery, is exactly what I am talking about. The bride chose deep greens, blues, oranges and pinks, and it makes the whole wedding just pop! Not to mention, it doesn't hurt that Jennifer captured some amazing photos...!
How cute are the socks..?!
