hello again, my name is shannan...

and i'm desperately longing for carefree days of blogging and life analysis again! don't get me wrong, i'm happy to be in full-throttle wedding mode with the hottest, smartest, kindest, most wonderful man i've ever laid eyes on, but i have exactly 3 weeks to pull this shindig together and right now this is what my life looks like:



since the helm of the new year and into the waning months of 2011, i will have gone to 9 weddings! wowza...and many of them happen to be my best friends'. don't know what was in the water this year, but it must have had something to do with nuptial madness. on that note, a warm congratulations goes out to my dear friends britney & christopher on their recent engagement! so darn happy for those two!



as for the sowder-pfeifer wedding, the invitations are sent, the vendors are ready to go, the decor is locked down, and my band(s) - yes, bands plural have all been confirmed. now if i can only get theron pfeifer (the groom) - who's company unexpectedly shipped him down to trinidad for the time being - back in time for the ceremony, i can breathe a huge sigh of relief! please keep your fingers and toes crossed!

*i wish i could share more detail and give you a sneak peek at the bridal portraits, but i'm trying really hard for the element of surprise so after the big day, i shall divulge all the goods!
