So you may have noticed that I have been a terrible blogger as of late but I have a very good reason. I got married!!! Although we kept things pretty simple the planning took over a big part of our lives. \u00a0 I basically stopped all furniture anything for the two weeks prior to the wedding. We had the wedding at a historic club house at the one the highest points on the eastern seaboard where the ceremony spot overlooked Sandy Hook and the NYC skyline. \u00a0It’s awesome but very empty. \u00a0You have to rent things like table, and forks. \u00a0All of this just adds to the blur of spreadsheets and notes that start piling up. \u00a0Our house became piles of wedding stuff in every corner. The good thing is everything went really well. \u00a0No one spilled red wine all over my dress like I feared. \u00a0The vendors showed up and the food was awesome. \u00a0And my friends and family proved one again that they are lushes. \u00a0We ordered a lot extra liquor and we actually ran out of a bunch of things at the end. \u00a0It was really nice that TB and I weren’t about to kill each other too by the time the big day arrived. We tried really hard not to get cranky with each other and days set aside for the beach with the dog also helped. Most importantly I got to marry TB. \u00a0Because contrary to what the wedding industry people tell you, it is the getting married that’s the important thing – not the pictures. \u00a0 And now I get to get back to my life which is pretty exciting. \u00a0I miss painting things! And one more thing – we need a new name for TB. \u00a0Should it be TH (The Husband)? \u00a0 TGISWFE (The Guy I’m Stuck With For Eternity) sounds a bit cumbersome. \u00a0I could just start using his name but then we wouldn’t have our own special code among the RR fans would we. \u00a0Leave some suggestions in the comments! Oh and here is a great pic shot by our friend Jill a the wedding. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
