I'm off to Oregon!

Well I am off to Oregon to watch the Ducks kill the Trojans! I get to spend a fun filled Halloween weekend with my best friend. I hope everyone else has a great, candy filled, Halloween weekend! And did I mention, GO DUCKS!!!

Wedding Movie Madness

I don't know about you, but this cold fall weather makes me want to crawl under a big feather comforter and watch a movie. So I thought I would put together a list of the best wedding movies of all time. What is your favorite wedding movie?

Engaged: Victoria and Anthony

Hillary Maybery has done it again! I wanted to show off these engagement photos she took of Victoria and Anthony. If you know these two in person, you will know that she absolutely captured how much these two love each other and how much fun they have together.


Victoria and Anthony will be having a fantastic winter wedding here in Sun Valley, and I can't wait to see the finished product. The couple has really fun, modern taste so both the food and the decor will be fresh and super cool. And from what Victoria tells me, they have a group of friends who will be partying all night long! Be sure to look for their wedding pictures here and on Hillary's blog in January.

The picture that started it all....

About 16 years ago I saw this photo in a wedding magazine. It was an ad for Vera Wang's new season of dresses, and I fell in love with the dress and the photo. I have now been carrying this picture around for 16 years. I am pretty sure it is why I do what I do today......
