Too Many Books

Blog Photo Review: A visually stimulating two years August 31, 2008: knot = tied Got Hitched I adored every single inch of my modern wedding... rooftop ceremony, reception in an urban space overlooking a glass-blowing studio.. all the purple and yellow and black and white... the way I looked... the euphoria of pulling off the event... love is grand, but a kick-ass wedding is, too. Sept. 2008: Fish outta water! Honey, moon me... Hubs and I spent the week in Myrtle Beach, SC and were there for Tropical Storn Hanna. Not a highlight: super hard wind and rains. Definitely a highlight: forcing my new husband to take my photograph on the beach, me sportin' my wedding dress, even though our wedding took place back in Louisville.  November, 2008 I spy a Hoosier!  Floor Seats in Assembly Hall, Bloomington Yeah, we played nobody IUPUI. It was still top-ten on my most awesome life-experience list. Summer 2009: Got a new ride. I drove all night... to get to you. Her name...

Yeah, so while I was home at lunch today I wrote this super-cute blog post about how today is my two-year anniversary. I even thoughtfully linked all three of the past blog posts which have the wedding pictures. There was an adorablespice "do not disturb" image, too. It was all very posh and romantical. Then, at the end of the post, I linked a picture of the two of us. But it was completely heinous, so I went to remove it. And when I did, my entire post DISAPPEARED. And I tried to exit out before blogger saved said BLANK mother-lovin' post, but the damage was done. An entire post. Eaten for lunch. By blogspot. #Damnitalltohell. Yup, it's just been that kind of week. Our air conditioner is on the fritz, and it's currently 82 god forsaken degrees in my house. Plus, I am so hormonal, I could kick a puppy. Hubs better not expect sex tonight in this sweltering climate. (Were hubs to read this, he would probably say he's waaay past expecting sex. I t...

So, wedding obsession starts and ends here. I promise. Some of you might be getting tired of my endless string of photos. However, if you are half as obsessed with my wedding as I am, you can watch the highlights! Click here to visit Something Blue Wedding Videos.  Since my bro-in-law owns the business, you can see three "chapters" from my wedding dvd. The highlight reel is the second video in the left column. The credits reel (which is hillarious!) is below the first video, and my photo montage is on the bottom right. Also, if you explore the website you'll see one of my pics on the main page. I'm famous. The purple shoes that have inspired envy. Maybe Susan R. Mills will use them in her blog... just an idea. Everything looks more magical in black and white, don't you think? Next Friday, it's onward to honeymoon photos, because, clearly, you want to see them.

I made twenty-five of these frames from Garden Ridge ($2.50 each!) with different quotes in each one. They were lovely additions to the tables at the reception and made great gifts for people who were involved in the wedding day. Our favors were fortune cookies with love fortunes inside. I used four different sayings -- my favorite one was "all you need is love." I bought the boxes and cookies online, and assembled them myself with the help of my mama! Half the boxes were purple with yellow ribbon. I made our programs online using http://www.vistaprint.com/ , and I really loved the simplicity of them. I used no capital letters whatsoever. I also ordered them in magnets and gave them away to friends and family. My cake topper was the creation I was most impressed with, because I spent $5.00 on it. I bought the wooden "m" at Michael's along with some purple paint and a sponge. A couple of coats later and... viola! I didn't make this, but it was my id...

My niece, Carley, is an angel. the dress. I wish I could afford her every single day. My toenails match my shoes. loving the way i look... Pre-ceremony fuel, with a straw, so not to muss my lipstick... My pimp daddy. (That came out wrong. I meant, my dad looking pimp.) 'bout to get married on a rooftop overlooking the Ohio River... My dad made the arch... how bad ass is that? I mean, seriously... my dad is the ultimate craftsman. I couldn't resist posting a photo of the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Amber Leigh Tidd Murphy We look cooler than shit, son. Since it's almost Halloween now, I give you: ghost bride. I guess I should credit my photographer, Jackie Johnson, @ http://www.jaclynjohnsonphotography.com/ even thought she was a heinous bitch whore on my big day.
