I looked through our wedding photos again today, and this one of me and my mom makes me laugh.

Two of my favorite people ever (above) just got engaged last night, and I’m so excited and happy for them.
I love weddings now. I can’t even help it. What have I become?!!?!!?!
‘Til 2013 do us part? Mexico City mulls 2-year marriage (Reuters)
This is a pretty amazing idea. My initial thoughts are the same thoughts that I have about removable tattoos—much of the appeal of marriage and tattoos is that they are a very serious committment; if you aren’t ready to commit for life, don’t do either of them at all.
BUT, there is quite a demand for divorce, and all kinds of ideas about marriage are evolving these days, so maybe it is worth considering? It builds in a prenup, which is definitely a good thing.
UPDATE: Tristan has requested that I link back to his idea from a year ago which is very similar, and mention that he sent this article to me today.
Today was our 1 year wedding anniversary!!
We celebrated with two delicious homemade pizzas, three wonderful friends, and two slices of thawed wedding cake. I have to admit that I don’t quite understand the year-later cake tradition, though…it’s not as delicious as it was when it was fresh; is this supposed to represent the marriage?
Barbie and Ken’s Dream Wedding Album (Jezebel)
This is hilarious/awesome, and for a second, I thought it was another layer of Mattel’s Barbie & Ken online marketing strategy. I bet they wish they had thought of it.
And yes, they look exactly like our engagement photos.

- Me: If [redacted] and [redacted] get married, I wonder what kind of wedding they'll have.
- CR: Whatever kind she wants. Like all weddings!
With our first wedding anniversary coming up in a few weeks, I was just perusing the Wikipedia article about traditional wedding anniversary gifts.
Then I remembered that I don’t like traditional wedding anything, particularly traditions that require spending money on more stuff.
We will not be buying gifts.
It is a little dark that the modern 90th anniversary gift is engraved marble. A tombstone, perhaps?
Every Bride Expects a Lovely Food Truck (WSJ)
I love this.
My cousin’s boyfriend threw out our save-the-date because he thought it was an ad for Anthropologie.

What a compliment to their design!
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. (via)
Things like this remind me that ladies have come a long way in this world.
Whenever I get to thinking about QR codes, I get all obsessed. Think of the wedding invitation/favor possibilities!!
