Last Minute Wedding Planning!

 One day a very dear friend called to say that she was getting married and could I help her put together the wedding?  I told her "of course! Have you picked a date?" She said "yes, 2 weeks from now. Can you do this?" I told her "of course"!

So I set to work putting together the day of their dreams.
Small, intimate, family and a few friends
A day that they would all remember.
A day that would surely "Bless the Broken Road"
that had brought them together





I brought in all my favorite vendors --
who I knew would never let me down







All of the family, from the Mother of the Groom (above),
to the grandsons (on the right) were there to celebrate.
The ladies were a little bit giddy.

The Best of Friends were all gathered and
excited to be a part of the wonderful day.

The beautiful bride was escorted by her sons.  Ready to join the
man she would spend the rest of her life with.

A beautiful ceremony performed by the Pastor,
and friend

A mother who was happy to see her dreams for her child finally come true.

A dance to celebrate a
Happy Forever After.

A Beautiful and Sweet cake to
end a Beautiful and Sweet day.

Rainy Days and Basketball

Is it as gloomy at your house as it is at mine?  I have a feeling that everyone is going to stay at home and the TV is going to have nothing but basketball games on ALL DAY!  I can feel my Event Planning gears turning...March Madness Party Weekend it is!  
 

Make a quick menu...




Crock-pot Spinach Artichoke Dip


















 
Buffalo Chicken Poppers
























Put some taco filling on the stove that can be used for tacos, or on baked potatoes, or with chips.  




And, to pay homage to St. Patrick's Day...
 






Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies

































Now pick your teams...NCAA Tournament Bracket
        
        
  
AND MAKE A PARTY OF IT!

Let's celebrate Pi Day!

Here in Planned to a T World we are always looking for ways to celebrate. 

 First job,  









First Driver's License,









  100% on a spelling test...
                                   
I think you get the picture.




  Well, today, March 14,  we are celebrating Pi Day, 3-14!  Just a way to add some fun to a Wednesday.










 A simple way to add some frivolity to the day would be a menu full of Pi? 

Pizza with pineapple on top

Pie for dessert, of course

  

Maybe Pina Coladas to drink?

How about going for a Pi walk or run! 3.14 miles would do it! 














For those who really like this idea and want to plan ahead..



A Pi Wedding.  
What a way to celebrate your love forever! 


Of course you would need to have a Pie Buffet. 






Just remember, it's all about celebrating life and those around us.  
NOW GO CELEBRATE PI!

Now that we are full of green beer and goodies....

Remember, I'm planning a relatively quiet St. Patrick's Day at home. Our life has been pretty crazy busy lately and it would be nice just to hang out with friends and family and enjoy each other. No cell phones. No Laptop.  No iPod. Soooo...rather than letting the fam go with the usual routine of TV, I thought, how about a movie to set the tone!  


I surfed a bit more and found.......


Well, it does have Sean Connory?!











Actually, there are a whole lot more great movies about Ireland!  Pick your genre and put in your Netflix order!

Make it a day to celebrate your friends and family! 

What to do for St. Paddy's Day??

 

I've been giving some thought today about how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the family and a few friends.  We're not really a corned beef and cabbage kind of group. But it would be fun to create a little party with no expectations, just have a good time and hang out together.  So off I went into the world of Pinterest.

 I found lots of ideas for little ones. Like this one from The Fickle Pickle! Made me wish for kiddos in my home again.

Details on the Fickle Pickle Blog

But this year it's going to be Adults and Almost Adults.  Nothing elaborate, but enough to make it not feel like just any ol' Saturday  Night at home. So I kept on poking around and found some amazing ideas, all on one blog!!   These ideas all come from More Design Please Blog.   Check this out...

Simple, but fun and special!






You need to go to the blog to get all the deets! There is so much more.

Then I started thinking about what to do after we had completely stuffed ourselves with yummy good food.....  That will have to wait until tomorrow.
