The Wedding

Here are some pictures from friends of our wonderful day! Some are a little blurry, but they are still great to have already. We should be getting Tina Sargeant's are amazing photographer, in a couple of weeks.

The Happy Couple


Beautiful ceremony right over the beach. My dad and I didnt fit down the aisle together because my dress was so big, we made a joke out of it and held hands while walking one behind the other.


Our monogram came in for the runner the wrong color green so I had to send it back and come up with something two days before the wedding. I created a stencil using Microsoft Paint to blow up a letter D, Molly and Daniel and April 10, 2010 and a regular printer to print them on a bunch of sheets of paper then cut them out and taped them together, it was like a huge puzzle for the D, but the stencil came out. Then I just got fabric paint and a paint brush and help the stencils down as I painted, not bad for last minute, rose petals can cover up a lot of mistakes ;)



The Happy Wedding Party




Two Happy couples, my Mom and Dad and Dan and I, a total of almost 36 years and 30 minutes of wedded bliss


My girls, they are so pretty if I do say so myself!


The littlest niece had to change into another dress because her flower girl dress was too long, but what perfect colors.


The Parasols were a big hit and added so much color to pictures.


The pink and green table right before you enter the room, for escort/place cards, pictures of us and a guestbook and signature plate. A little Lilly blanket made for a great tablecloth, it was a last minute idea, I had another tablecloth that had too much yellow in it and I had this one from a baby shower I threw a year ago for Amy, perfect! And you can barely see it, but I found a pink and green perfectly matching letter D monogram plate the week before the wedding at Tuesday Morning, gotta love that place.


The beautiful cake! I just love pink and green paisley! She matched the green perfectly to the monogram topper I made. It was so yummy, almond and lemon curd, and raspberry chambord with cream cheese frosting, it was so good and I don't usually even eat cake.


The Groom's cake, its Danny's Fantasy football team logo that one of his friends who is a graphics designer made him, it was a total surprise, and it was peanut butter and chocolate his favorite!


Dan and I's first dance, not bad with no practice whatsoever. Haha!


The beautiful room, it was a pink and green wonderland, the florist did such a great job and all the little things I made in pink and green really paid off to add color to the tables.


The homemade Menu and Favor boxes.




Had to have Pink champagne for the toasts


Matron of honor my sister and my niece Kiley my little flower girl


My girls giving my dad some smoochies


Dan and I dancing again, not sure if I am Ahhhing or singing with the song.


Enjoying the reception


I will share more as they come in.

Bachelorette Party

The Bachelorette Party my friend Carrie planned for me was wonderful!! We went to a resort in Port Canaveral, Florida and then went to a nice restaurant that was also an awesome dance club outsuide, who knew. It was relaxing, fun and an all around wonderful time!

Carrie and I arrived first to relax by the pool and lazy river, having yummy drinks and a nice lunch. I started with the Dirty Monkey drink and Carrie had the Liquid Sunshine, I then got a Liquid Sunshine! Carrie had the Mahi tacos with fries and I had a yummy blacked chicken wrap with onion rings that I shared with Amy.




Great minds think a like, Carrie and I both made favors and crowns for the girls.

Carrie's adorable Hangover kit.



And the favors I made to thank the girls for coming and throwing it for me!


Later Amy, Lia, Andrea, and Tara joined us and after a little more relaxing, going down the lazy river and then the water slide we moved to the huge suite for games, three homemade fresh fruit martinis from Amy that were awesome, Strawberry basil, Honeydew, and Mandarin orange, so yummy, snacks (spinach dip from Carrie is the best!!) and a giant cake Tara made, its not appropriate for this blog, but was hilarious, delicious, and huge! We had a sculpting contest with Playdough, a nice poem that Amy had written, she is the poem queen, and then a nice poem that Carrie put together, giving me underwear for the rest of my life events!






After the games we all got ready to go out for dinner, we had a very nice dinner at Millikens Reef and the girls were on a mission after to get me drunk since I wasnt yet. Sylvia joined us for dessert and we all decided to stay at Millikens for the great dancing and bars on the dock outside.


We had such a great crazy time, I love to dance and everyone was so wonderful celebrating with us. The amount of shots the girls had me do was crazy, but very very fun!! Thanks to all my wonderful fun girls for coming out and planning this for me! It was a wonderful time!!




Place cards/Escort cards


I had seen these two escort card pictures on two different blogs and wanted to do something similar for my escort/place cards and holders.


I found these brads online and thought they were perfect with the paper I decided to make the cards out of. I got them on Ebay for half the price since I couldnt find them in a local store. You cant tell but they are super cute with bright pink cherries on a bunch of them.


I found these gifts tags at the Dollar Tree and decided to use them as templates to cut just regular card stock that I printed the guests names on.



I had originally picked a Basic Grey paper, but then wanted to go a little lighter since the favor tags and menus were going to be light, so found this adorable Heidi Grace paper. It was just a coincedence that, the menus, favor labels, and place cards, all had birds on them.


Finish Product... I think they turned out cute!


For the holder I got two memory boards from Micheals when they were on sale for $9, I saw cheaper ones other places, Ross and Marshalls for around $6, but they never had two the same size, so these were fine.


I couldn't find a fabric the exact color I wanted so I went ahead and used the wrapping paper I am using for the cardbox.


Choosing the ribbons and in the order took the longest, but it was fun.


I found two holders/stands at Tuesday Morning for only $6.99 each, I decided later to spray paint them pink.


Here is the final product, escort/place cards and holders. I ended up adding more ribbon than in the picture above.
