Holiday update, 2006
Dec 17, 2006 We realize it’s been a while since we posted any news here. So much going on, so much to do, so much fun to have. So we’re posting the letter here that we sent out with our Christmas card. This… ~400 words
Glamour shots
Jun 14, 2006 Doug and I had our big engagement photo shoot on Sunday. We met with our photographer at 7:00am at Baker Beach in San Francisco. Once we got there, we had to cancel our morning engagement. The fog had rolled in,… ~200 words
Music for my two left feet
Jun 11, 2006 I never knew selecting music for the wedding would be such a challenge. I’m finding that my earlier years of watching soap operas have really impacted my life. I try not to add every theme song from John and Marlena… ~200 words
Summer in SF
May 28, 2006 “You can never go without a coat in the summer in the city of San Francisco.” — Mark Twain, 1891 Just over one hundred years later, it seems nothing has changed about the weather in San Francisco. If you plan on coming to our summer wedding, bring a coat!… ~200 words
Dance fever
May 7, 2006 The wedding is fast approaching–just a little over 80 days away. Doug and I have yet to sign up for dance lessons. Doug would be fine. He has a pretty solid history with the swing-dancing crowd, and could fool the… ~200 words
Dog and cat
Apr 13, 2006 The past five months of our engagement has flown by. With just about 100 days to go, we still have a few things we need to do. The website is really helpful to a lot of people and we enjoy… ~200 words
Having and eating our cake
Jan 20, 2006 It just wouldn’t be a wedding without a cake. I have a sweet tooth that never ends. I was so excited about cake-tasting, I could barely stand it. We tried several different vendors and finally honed in on one. I… ~200 words
Forks, glasses, and napkins, oh my!
Jan 4, 2006 As soon as we got engaged, I bought several bridal books and a wedding planner. Everything I read already had us three months behind schedule. We had our ideas for the church and reception site. It was just a matter… ~200 words
Registry: not just for girls
Dec 20, 2005 I wanted to register as soon as possible, in hopes that many items might go on sale after the holidays. At first, Douglas wanted no part of the registry, and I practically had to drag him downtown to get started.… ~200 words
I am engaged!
Nov 25, 2005 I still can’t believe that I am getting married to Douglas Bowman. I know a lot of you are in shock as well. For those of you who don’t know, I met Doug the second week in July 1992. I… ~100 words
Location location location
Nov 21, 2005 Just four days after proposing to Cam, we already have a date set, and coordinated that date with our first choices for ceremony and reception locations. That was way too easy. To be fair, we already knew (basically) where we… ~200 words
Georges at the Cove
Nov 18, 2005 After I proposed to Cam last night, we drove up to La Jolla where I had dinner reservations at Georges awaiting our arrival. We had a lovely dinner, probably warmed by the glow of our happiness over the engagement. This,… ~200 words
Engaged!
Nov 17, 2005 It’s true. I asked Cam to marry me earlier tonight. I tried to plan a proposal out in advance. But when the time actually came, it went way better than planned. The weather was perfect, no clouds on the horizon.… ~200 words
