Fat Bride Returns!

Sorry I have been lame. I suck.

So Matt and I enjoyed the hell out of ourselves at my dear friend Katie Huppmann's beautiful New Hampshire wedding. A blanket of snow illuminated the PERFECT day Katie was blessed with, and although whenever she was outdoors she had to wear a big peacoat, I would say she enjoyed and loved every minute of it. I must say, if I can even be half as gorgeous and happy as dear Katie Huppmann on the big day, I'd be the luckiest lady in the world!

One thing this wedding did have....a MAJOR dance party, which is a must for our wedding.

To prepare for such a dance party, a gift to you all. The currant danceparty/workout playlist for Meg Tracy:



It has the perfect amount of uptempo mixed with a little breather music...enjoy! I have been trying to get my fitness on...but sometimes I suck at it. Having a wedding dress that fits perfectly and that I like looking at myself in doesn't help. But I did get in today for some elliptical machine torture and I have been swimming (my nontorture workout) as much as I can will myself to. I have a case of the weekend cheats though. Where I pretend like food doesn't count because it's Hot-Fudge-Sunday. No bueno. No bueno at all.

In wedding world, we are tweaking the menu with our caterer...I can't believe how overwhelming picking food can be. Can we have beets? No, they might stain the tablecloths...greens can't hold up to transport...Matt's allergic to carrots...tomatoes remind me of boogers...it is So ridiculous figuring out food for so many people. I'd be just as happy shucking oysters in my wedding dress, but some people would say it aint classy...classy my foot! Fat Bride is as classy as they come...shit!

While food is in the works, I have been focusing my attention on invites again. I have IJS. Invitation Jealousy Syndrome. Whenever I look at wedding blogs and sites, I see these amazing stationary suites that include a map and unique and magical invitations...I WILL HAVE UNIQUE AND MAGICAL INVITATIONS goshdarnit! SOOOO, I have been working on a Meggie original for the wedding invitation, a custom map of the Swansboro/Emerald Isle area to include with the invite. If anyone has a place they would recommended to outsiders, or somewhere you think a visit to the coast isn't complete without...let me know!

In DIY news: My friend Meg came over last week for some wedding prep fun...not much because I sucked at supplies (meaning I had nothing but felt, scissors and wine), but we still had a great night of mustache cutting and save the date making...thanks Megs, I will need your scissor skills again!

So thats whats up. Again, suggestions on EI/Boro hotspots!
