Wedding Fact Friday

The reasoning behind your "something blue!!"

"In the rhyme 'something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue', "blue" is symbolic of the blood of royalty, since both the bride and the groom were once considered to be "royal" on their wedding day." (source)

Why I Love Fall

Being that it is September, I thought I'd post a little about why I love the fall.
There are the obvious, of course...
1. Cooler Temperatures
2. Pretty Trees (courtesy of the changing leaves)
3. Crunchy Leaves
But my other reason for loving fall that doesn't involve the outside is
4. Television Season Premieres.

Here's what I'm looking forward to this Fall on Television:
Season 5 Premiere September 17th {8/7c}
Series Premiere September 9th {9/8c}
Season 2 Premiere September28th {9/8c}
Season 2 Premiere September 21st {10/9c}
Series Premiere September 24th {8/7c}
Season 7 Premiere September 27th {10/9c}
Season 5 Premiere September 23rd {9/8c}
Season 2 Premiere September 24th {10/9c}
Season 7 Premiere September 22nd {8/7c}
Series Premiere September 22nd {9/8c}

If I Could...

This is where I'd get married!
...but it's 30 minutes from the reception site we are seriously considering...
Is it okay to ask our out of town guests to travel the distance??

Mr. GrapeJuice is HOME!

If you haven't noticed, I'm really, really excited that Mr. GrapeJuice is back in my life!! He's been gone since mid-July, and I missed him. He brought me a surprise last night too! {Sadly, it was not a cute puppy or kitten though...} What he brought me was flowers!! And, he thought about it the color scheme too. He brought me a purple-themed bouquet instead of a yellow one because it was more fall. Isn't he thoughtful?!?!?!

A ::BUDGET:: Bridal Show

Sunday night, I was stalking my way through the internet, as I am apt to do on my lazy weekends. I was on Twitter and was going on a following frenzy. I was pretty much following anyone I could get my hands on!! :) Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I wondered if the reception venue we are seriously thinking about contracting had a Twitter account. {Sadly, they do not.} But, they do have Facebook! Of course, I friended them. As I did so, a link caught my eye for a Budget Bridal Show. Curiously, I clicked on it and am sooooooooo glad I did. It has opened my eyes to vendors that I didn't know were out there!
