Bridesmaid dresses – check! | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/bridesmaid-dresses-check
Just another WordPress.com site. Bridesmaid dresses – check! Yet another to-do off of my list – the bridesmaid dresses! I decided on a fun pink number from Watters and Watters. That will coordinate well with my dress. Will the girls ever wear them again? I hope not, unless perhaps for a theme party! Let’s face it, rarely are bridesmaid dresses really wearable after the event anyway. Continue to gather addresses for the guest list. SO excited for this! Laquo; Google maps caught our engagement! Enter your ...

Let’s talk bridesmaids! | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/lets-talk-bridesmaids
Just another WordPress.com site. Let’s talk bridesmaids! I was so excited to ask my girlfriends to be my bridesmaids. Let’s face it, they’re the ones that I’ve talked about this wedding to for years pre-ring and I’m thrilled to have them be a part of our day. My dilemma was just HOW to pop the question. Since they range from being just 20 minutes away to living in Washington D.C., I knew I wouldn’t be able to ask everyone in person. Boo! Here were the top runners for ways to ask:. 2 Bridesmaid Bubbly Buzz.

Engagement photos!! Part 1 | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/engagement-photos-part-1
Just another WordPress.com site. We’re so lucky to have the talented Erika Fitz of Erika Leigh Photography. Be shooting our wedding. I met Erika when we were both attending ISU and I immediately fell in LOVE with her photos when I saw that she’d started a photography gig. She’s super talented! Erika came to Des Moines this fall and shot our engagement shoot at IKONIX Studio. A little peak of the fun is below! Also, part 2 of our engagement photos will be hitting the blog soon! Date : December 12, 2010.

Venue | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/07/25/venue
Just another WordPress.com site. Once upon a time, I thought I had the venue all figured out. It turns out, with a dash of rain, the outdoor area I had envisioned for the grand affair turns to swampland. To eliminate the possibility of accidental mud wrestling we chose to find another venue. I left my trapper keeper planner stuffed with photos and lay-outs in the car per G’s request to appear normal:). TENT – already set up, overlooking a gorgeous view. Although the venue was gorgeous, a “winery we...

Google maps caught our engagement! …Almost!! | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/google-maps-caught-our-engagement-almost
Just another WordPress.com site. Google maps caught our engagement! I think this is the craziest thing ever. G was perusing hunting areas on google maps, and just happened to notice that the photo of our home had been updated. As he looked closer, he saw that it was updated on the day of our engagement, MOMENTS. Before the proposal. If it was taken five minutes later, it would have caught him actually on his knee! You can read the full story of our engagement here. Laquo; Let’s talk bridesmaids! IKONIX: ...

The Wedding Planner | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/the-wedding-planner
Just another WordPress.com site. Ah, the wedding planner debate. For several months this was me and G’s nightly “disagreement”. I even made lists to try to make him understand just how much goes into planning a wedding. While he still thinks a wedding is nothing more than booking a DJ and having some grub, (and beer) – I won the bigger debate, and got the planner! Insert victory dance here.). We now have Details Planning Company. On board and they are such a good fit! Laquo; Engagement photos! Not to be ...

DUM DUM DA DUMMMMM!!! The PROPOSAL! | Big Fun Secret
https://bigfunsecret.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/dum-dum-da-dummmmm-the-proposal
Just another WordPress.com site. DUM DUM DA DUMMMMM! This is the post I’ve been waiting FOREVER to write. Ok, well at least since the idea of this blog was born. I no longer have to be a closet-wedding planner and can now wave my “bride in planning” flag proudly! First, let me just say, seeing how much work G put into the proposal, and him light up talking about it still gives me goose bumps. (He was pretty proud of himself.). You’ll be glad to know he’s back to his old self). I usually don’t go ov...
