*The "Wedding of the Century" title was already taken by Kate and Wills. Barely.
Saturday night was my bachelorette party! There was wine, Scrabble tile necklaces, bourbon, books, and Motown. And seven of the loveliest ladies you could ever ask for. Basically, it was the perfect evening.
Being me... I had to make a dessert for everyone. I found a recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownie Bombs and, well, duh. Holy crap are these delicious. And holy crap are they a mess to make. But worth it.

And then Sunday... ALL THE CRAFTING.
The manfriend keeps saying that if you're going to DIY your wedding, you have to play to your strengths. My strength is... craftiness. Yep.
So! I'm altering my wedding dress, which was once my mom's dress that my grandmother made (see the bottom of this post); making the bridesmaid dresses (no pics until after the wedding!); and making a lot of the decor. With the help of three hung over ladies, we made centerpieces, a card box, an aisle runner, favors, and a quiche (for the eating, not the wedding).

| Scrabble tiles! Center pieces! Please note: my Ginghers are leopard print. That's just how I roll. |
 |
| Because sometimes the Mod Podge isn't drying fast enough. |
 |
| Ampersand aisle runner (aka - my college degree is paying off). |
 |
| That's about $80 worth of M&Ms for the favors. And fried food for the hang overs. |
 |
| Quiche au fromage! |
Ok, so none of this links back to specific Pinterest pins... but we all know. There's burlap and lace all over the place on those wedding boards.
Oh. And we made signs so people can find the bathrooms. Very important.
Here's everything all piled in one corner:

| Sigh. Doesn't look like much, does it? |
WEDDING!!!
