MySpace and the movie “The Proposal” have teamed up to bring you “Married on MySpace.”  The winning couple of course gets a free wedding that is televised on MySpace.  The catch(es)… MySpace members get to plan every detail of the wedding from the first dance song to the registry, and the MySpace camera crew is there to capture everything.  However, the couple won’t know how it turns out until it actually happens.

So are you up for the wedding of the century? To enter, upload a video of your proposal story by April 17th.

Black is chic and we now see them more in weddings.  Black and white is my friend’s color motif, so this wedding color inspiration board I created especially for her.  I will be posting more black inspiration boards in the future.

At the beginning of our wedding planning, we were set on having an intimate affair with 50 guests.  A couple of months into the planning, the number of guests has gone up to 80.  Now, our guest list is nearing 100 and we’re still more than a year away from the wedding.  I wonder if the number will just keep increasing.

We might eventually have to cut back on the number of guests before we send our save-the-date’s.  I don’t know how we’ll do that, but we will have to find a way.

I would love to have a casual backyard wedding.  But I don’t have a backyard big enough for even just a few guests.  You would like a backyard wedding as well if it is as beautiful as Jill and Harry’s wedding.  Don’t you love the bright colors?  It’s so cheerful, modern and very summer-y.  Their cake photo is actually one of my cake inspiration photos – simple and modern.  Photos were taken by the talented Michael Norwood.

Snippet:
     All the things that you will do
     And now i’m standing next to you
     And darling I will see you through the rest of our lives
     With you beside me I have won
     I’m glad i’ve waited for so long
     There is no doubt that you are the one for me
     You are the love of my life

I didn’t really care for Carnations before.  But as I started planning my wedding and looking for ways to save, I was able to realize the flower’s potential.  Carnations are very affordable.  Sometimes because of this, they’re looked at mostly as filler flowers or something not that elegant.  But when done right, they can be chic and beautiful on their own.
