Bridalplasty is a show about brides who are competing to win their dream wedding which includes a complete makeover including plastic surgery. I admit, I LOVE a good makeover show. I mean I was glued to the TV watching The Swan and Extreme Makeover. Don’t get me wrong, I do not think plastic surgery is necessary to make you beautiful. And I was shocked when 20-somethings were getting fillers?!?! But I have to say, I was not impressed with this show. Unfortunately, I felt like I was watching a show that amateurs taped in their parents backyard and even Shanna Moakler (who I loved on her reality show Meet the Barkers) couldn’t keep my interest. I know when I was a bride, I would watch ANYTHING that had to do with weddings, but even then…I think I would have passed on this one. What did you think? Will you continue watching Bridalplasty?

These photos were taken by my friend, Mrs. Amanda Doublin. Leave it to her to be part of such an amazing event. This couple received their dream wedding by raising funds to make dreams come true for orphans in Africa. All services were donated by wedding vendors (Amanda included) to make this wedding a dream come true for Glenda and Michael, thanking them for their generosity. This truly is a fairy tale  wedding, right down to the last detail. To learn more about Weddings for Africa, visit TripleCord Photography’s website.

P.S. This wedding will also be featured on TLC’s Wedding Day Makeover in December so make sure you watch for it!

It’s been a while folks! As you may know, I have been MIA due to my much anticipated pregnancy but today I received an email that I just could not NOT share with you all. When planning a wedding, every little bit helps and today I want to share The Bright Side Project with you. Their mission is to bring you daily sunshine with themed giveaways. September just happens to be wedding themed so be sure and stop by and enter to win “something new” and walk down the aisle in style!

Today’s giveaway is sponsored by JLoveS…adorable accessories for your big day!

Congrats to Kathy & Jon…winners of the FREE e-session giveaway from MY amazing wedding photographer, Sean Loring Schofield. Kathy & Jon are both amateur photogs so I was thrilled that they won so they could have pictures of them together instead of one of them always behind the lens! Congrats you two!

Be sure and stop by Sean’s blog to see more of this engagement session.

I can’t help but think a cute way to propose would be to hide these blocks around the house with little love notes (like a treasure hunt)…out of order to throw him/her off…and watch the look on their face when they figure out that it’s a proposal!!! Get yours here.

I have been dying to share the news with you!!! We are pregnant with our first baby and it’s a BOY! I have to admit that I am still nervous to put it in writing but I am just starting my second trimester so I have held it in as long as I possibly could! In addition to that big news, we just moved into our new home so needless to say, Bridal Inquirer has been on the back burner. I still have the new look in the works but am delaying the update until things have settled over here. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
