Trunk show at Diny's Jewelers

Good afternoon, readers! A and I already ordered our wedding bands (from Kessler's). However, who am I to deny and other couples the knowledge I'm about to drop. I just got an e-mail from local jeweler, Diny's Jewelers (1903 Cayuga st. Middleton, WI 53562 608-831-3469 ). The store is offering $20 off on any purchase of $50 or more. Their wedding bands start at $50. Just an FYI. Hope you're having a great Monday and enjoying the warmer temperatures in Wisconsin. The shift in climate should make for more a comfortable protesting environment!

Green with bridal envy

I would never claim to be a model, nor would I say I'm clever enough to have a one-of-a-kind wedding (since many of my ideas I've found perusing the Internet). But how AWESOME would it be to have your wedding featured in a magazine?!

Someone I used to work with got married at this rustic and ethereal barn outside of Oregon, WI, The O'Brien Barn, which A and I actually looked at for our wedding. It didn't really have enough updated luxuries for our caterers and wasn't grandparent friendly (rickety steps), so we passed it up. Anyway, I read about her wedding there when I was first looking at venues and thought she had some original ideas. So, I happened to come across her profile on LinkedIn. I ventured over to her blog and became instantly envious!

Not only is her wedding featured in the March issue of Brava magazine, she's on the cover! Seriously beautiful. She mentions the cover on the blog for her design firm, Dilemma Studio. Despite my jealousy, I'm totally going to buy this magazine and read all about her amazing wedding. They had personalized beer glasses for favors, for crying out loud.
