Happy Heart Day

Today is Feb 14- a day of love- and although we don't celebrate the comercialized holiday in the Durney family, we always celebrate love. These are my 2 boys, who I love so much! You will always have my heart! - L

We did it

We had the most fabulous Wedding! Family, Friends, Music, Food, Fun and lots of Love! Of course there were the little bits that just made it unique, but all around most everyone had a great time.

Reflecting back-

-I was litterally trying to set tables at 2:45 when guest were arriving just after 3pm. I still needed to shower, make up and put the white dress on.

- we hadn't rehearsed so there were a few things that were a little jittery (the vows, Emma knowing what to do, how I was going to get down to the ceremony...) it all worked out.

- I hadn't even been down to the ceremony site since it had been set  up, but it looked beautiful

- the slingback on my shoe broke as I was putting it on, used a safety pin to fasten back together, proceeded on.

-forgot to pack Billy dress socks so I sent someone on a mission to find socks at 3pm, I think one of the cooks had some- they were black athletic socks- I will never live that down, but at least they weren't white.

- I realize why people have bridesmaids, thank goodness for my mother.

- Grandmere dancing all night- the MOST AMAZING Grandmother!!!

- our busdriver was a real charecter, I think he thought he was invited to the wedding. He ended up in the dinner line and then in the barn until my brother kicked him out- later that night when he didn't return for the 2nd out of 3 scheduled pick ups the best line of the wedding " I will sue your ass in the state of Conneticut" was said when the owner of the bus company told me that I probably had too much to drink- well buddy- my wedding, not yours!

Ah a marvelous weekend, an amazing place and that has resulted in me having an amazing husband!

Becoming a Mrs.

Over the 4th of July weekend, I returned to Washington State to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. And lucky me, my girlfriends put together and amazing bridal shower and party for me. One of the more traditional aspects of having a wedding and on my way to Becoming Mrs. Durney. We had lots of fun!

                                                       My amazing friends! 

                    We took a boat ride with wine (of course) to dinner downtown Olympia!

                              What an amazing meal to finish off a perfect Day!

Thank you!

These are photos from the day Billy proposed to me- last July on his birthday (trickster) A great sunny day as we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge.

In Love!

5 Months

Yesterday officially marked 5 months until my wedding. Because the sun is still not fully out in NY I keep thinking that we have such a ways until the fall, but time is passing fast, friends are making their plans- and I need to hightail this planning process.

Last week- I read over a few ceremony options that my dad had sent to me (he is performing our wedding) and I started to tear up. This is really happening, everyone is coming out to Connecticut and I feel loved 1000 times over!
