Last weekends Bridal Show was great!

I had a ball at the Apostolic wedding fair last weekend- I meet a lot of good people, brides & vendors alike. Here I am at the expo doing what I do best. :-) Pic courtesy of Donald Barge Photography.

Artsy Love & Bridal Show Info

Hey everyone- Sorry, I've been MIA for a little while getting ready for a bridal show on the 27th & completing my first full wedding design ( the entire event is pratically designed by me) YAY!! But I had to take a moment, and show some kitschy accessories that I LOVEEEE - I think they are PERFECT for the artsy bride. Tell me what you think.

Oh before I forget, I hope to see you at the WEDDING FAIR on Saturday, March 27th @ the Apostolic Church of God - 6320 Dorchester Ave.- Chicago, Illinois 60637 from 10-2PM!

And they still together...85 years later!

Who said love doesn't last? Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of New Bern, N.C., hold the world record for life in wedded bliss: 85 years. He's 104, and she's 101 young.

On their May 13 anniversary, they will join an elite club: the longest marriages on record. If this couple isn't a testimony to love, commitment and God's blessings- I don't know what is!

For those of us amateurs in wedded bliss, (the pros would be Mr & Mrs.Fisher!) don't worry we still have PLENTY of time to practice!
