I really relate to it. The other day my MIL asked me if I was going to get my teeth whitened for the wedding. I told her I'd never heard anything so ridiculous. But now it seems like every regular wedding website has a 'teeth whitening' page, and i'm starting to get a complex. So I just go to offbeat bride, breathe out, and save my $$$!

Then again, I work with markers constantly (and always need new ones because I'm clumsy, lazy and all sorts of other adjectives that mean I frequently can't find the caps and kill them). Yay for sanity though! I would totally have bought the big pack.

I can really go crazy on little details... but is that such a bad thing? I love this post I can completely relate. But I know in the end I would feel guilty about it but I would have spent the extra $$ to have the BROWN!

I just got my fiance a half-dozen of them for Valentine's Day (we're Sharpie whores). I'm getting married in a week - I'm wearing a sixties vintage black, a-line cocktail dress to my wedding. ;) Do it the way it feels right to you, and don't sweat the little details. When it's over, all people will remember was whether they had fun or not. Seriously. Customized Sharpies are FAB! I just got my fiance a half-dozen of them for Valentine's Day (we're Sharpie whores).

Welcome and enjoy! Yes it's important to just be yourself, and not cave in to the ridiculous peer and social pressure to buy useless crap or pay a fortune for 'The Day'. I for one am going the red dress route (Hey a billion chinese and indian brides can't be wrong ;) but really it should be YOUR day, not submit-to-what- society- expects day. A touch of tradition, a flare of originality and sparks of freshness, voila. Ha! Welcome and enjoy!
