:: the time has come ::
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”
The time has come, my dear friends, to bid you farewell for a short spell! This weekend I’ll be standing next to the man I love, joined by our family and friends to celebrate our marriage. It’s still hard to believe that my life is about ready to take one of those “big plunges”… lol! Then I’ll be off to sunny Florida right after, with all our stuff (er… most of it being mine–eeek!) for the Big Move. Nesting and general domesticity are sure to follow, and by then I’ll hopefully be back online and able to show y’all some photos from the wedding!
I just want to say a big thank you to all the emails, advice, stories and tips you have shared with me since I announced L. and I were getting married! It’s been such a blessing to have a lovely group of friends who can offer help. Thank you all so much!
To all my fellow U.S. readers: wishing you an early, happy Thanksgiving! (I’ll be unpacking that day… lol!) See you all in a few weeks!
Posted on November 17th, 2008 to life, wedding.

Congratulations, Casey! Every bit of your wedding plans that you’ve shared has been inspiring, and I’m sure it’s going to be a wonderful day! Here’s and Old English blessing for the two of you: “May your joys be as bright as the morning, your years of happiness as numerous as the stars in the heavens, and your troubles but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.” Enjoy every moment of your and L’s special day!

We just had our 1 year anniversary was last weekend so I remember the excitement you are feeling. My fiance bought me a gorgeous diamond necklace from http://www.idonowidont.com and hope to have 50 more anniversaries at least, as we are still as in love as we were on our wedding day!
Hope to see your pictures and hope you feel the joy I felt when celebrating your first year together as a happy couple!

Bonsoir à vous ! Chère Mademoiselle, je trouve vos créations magnifiques, et un très grand bravo pour vos vidéos, et votre blog. J’adore la mode et les coiffures des années 1940 et 1950 en effet, ces modes, sont très élégantes. Vous portez celles-ci à merveille. Encore un très grand bravo.
