Questionably Fabulous

A Standing Ovation ~ QF Man

I posted this note on my wedding website but failed to broadcast it to everyone who reads…  It appears like I’ve shunned by AH-MAH-ZING  photogs and I’m so terribly sorry for that. 
Not only are my pictures up but they are magical and romantic and artistic and timeless while being silly and embarassing and hella perfect.  I [...]

Weddings are strange things… 
They are a place where several different groups of people gather – most of who have nothing more in common than their relationship with the bride or the groom or both.  You have the family members of both parties – some of which the bride and or the groom would never [...]

Wedding Day – Bride’s Pre-Ceremony Itinerary:
9:30 – Wake Up
10:00 – Breakfast (with bridesmaids and mother)

11:15 [...]

What all brides should do… ~ QF Moment

If you’d like to see wedding pictures you can find them in one of two ways. 
A) Go to my Facebook or MySpace page to view some that friends have given me.  Search for me if I’m not already “your friend”.  AC Fabulous should get me every time. 
B)  Hound my photographers to post them online.  (This [...]

Macaroni Cleavage ~ QF Moment

Monday 10/27 ~ QF Moment

I suppose it is normal, these days, for grown children to attend the weddings of their parents…  Typically, though, it is a second or even third marriage for these parents. 
I have been fortunate enough, I think fortunate is the right word, to be at the FIRST wedding for BOTH of my fathers. 
Are they [...]

Something Blue in Santa Margarita (www.somethingblueandtrue.com) is a God Sent!  Jennifer is the owner and specializes in “before & afters” and customized apparel.  Mostly she does wedding dresses and typically takes an inherited or antique gown and creates up to date one of a kind pieces for brides.  Her portfolio is astounding.  
I have a very simple set [...]

Just wanted to give a little plug to the bridal salon that I purchased my wedding dress from.  It is in Virginia Beach, VA (www.pureenglishbridal.com) but I couldn’t help but talk about how fabulous it is.  
Helen is the owner and is from England – when she was searching for her own wedding dress she [...]

DING DONG THE DRESS IS BIG
THE WEDDING DRESS, THE WEDDING DRESS
DING DONG THE WEDDING DRESS IS BIG!
When I bought my wedding dress in early August it was tight.  The lady at the dress shop said that I needed to loose 5 pounds for it to fit perfectly.  I thought for sure this was doable.  
It [...]

I propose that a new word be introduced into the world of weddings.  Momzilla of the Bride.  Not to be confused with Mom of the Bridezilla…  A Momzilla is a crazy mother when the bride is absolutely cool as a cucumber.  
In case you were wondering, I’m dealing with one – have been for two [...]

My wedding dress came yesterday via UPS – I had my window in my office open so that I could see the truck when it pulled it and let out a childish squeal when I saw it turn into the driveway.  
All the gals at work wanted to see it – I was tempted to put it on and [...]

As anyone who has gotten married knows, guest lists can be tricky. 
My and I have invited SOME close friends of our parents to our wedding because we’ve felt that those people were involved in our upbringing.  When we look back on childhood memories my mother’s best friend is in several of them, obviously she [...]

It is said that a picture is worth 1,000 words…  Well, I have to say, there is no picture that could have compared to my future father-in-law’s (FFIL) engagement party toast. 
I’d heard some “horror stories” about my FFIL’s toasts in the past – both of my future brother-in-laws got married last summer, so I [...]

Wedding planners totally deserve all of the money they charge brides for organizing the whole day.  Seriously, I wish I could afford one!  
I just got an email from my future mother-in-law, I had asked her to send me the addresses for that side of the family and received back not only the addresses I asked for [...]

Today I have chosen to send you all to a link for the Questionably Fabulous Moment of the Day. Its unbelievable what some people will do to raise a little money. I do feel for this lady, as I’m planning a wedding right now and my fiance and I are also paying for [...]

There comes a time in any relationship where you have “the talk” and it’s never something that is easy to approach or necessarily comfortable.  Cause the reality of the whole situation is that if the two people engaged in the relationship were on the same page, “the talk” would be totally pointless.
The need for “the [...]
