Easter Egg

If you can read it think about it. General subject: Premarital sex.

Money Dance

Oh the drama of the money dances.  To those of you not in the know the money dance (or dollar dance, or apron dance) is a tradition where male guests pay to dance briefly with the bride, and sometimes female guests pay to dance with the groom.   Apparently it originated in Poland and was brought to the US by Immigrants.  Due to Pittsburgh’s large Polish communities there’s no wonder why it’s so prominent today. 

I have overheard strangers arguing with mothers and friends bitching about future mother in laws.  If you do it or not there are great picture opportunities.

Sometimes even if you don’t plan for it it’ll happen spontaneously. 

Where are you on the money dance fence?  

Tiffany Tuesday Pt 2- transportation

The service was lovely and the second best part it was FREE.  (The best part was that they got married)

At this point the happy couple could go off into the world as married people, but society dictates that they are not yet finished.  Besides, who doesn’t love a party? 

All guests are responsible for getting their own rides to the reception, but the bridal party will do it in piratical style.

Sorry not like that this isn't a traveler wedding after all

It’s not the most attractive but it is the most cost effective.  So often the weddings I see are so elaborate that they just look wasteful.  This is only about $100 let’s bump it up to $200 to account of gas.

This is the perfect way to get everyone around town to take pictures and arrive together to the reception hall.

What’s the craziest way you’ve ever arrived somewhere? 

Monday Montage Mt. Washington

I don’t think I will ever get tired of looking at wedding pictures ever.  

Cookies with no oven!

I have a weakness in my heart for no back cookies. I am a lazy fat girl at heart. You do unfortunately have to use a stove, but they are so worth it! Make sure you cook the sugar long enough because otherwise the cookies will be gritty.  No one likes a gritty cookie.

·         2 cups sugar

·         4 tablespoons cocoa powder

·         1 stick butter

·         1/2 cup milk

·         1 cup peanut butter

·         1 tablespoon vanilla

·         4 cups oatmeal

Directions

In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute then add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls, until cooled and hardened.

Tiffany Tuesday Part 1

I have a friend that is engaged and every time she thinks about her impending nuptials she has a panic attack.  She's currently fallen into the word of pinterest.com so for now shes is breathing normally.
I told her I'd help out.
The Guidelines:
October wedding
Outdoor ceremony
brown and gold
$5000.00 budget

So first thing's first LOCATION!
This is one way to rack up a stupid huge bill.  We aren't going to do that.
Schenley park is not only free, but offers great views of Pittsburgh, nature and fall foliage

Using my supper Google skillz I can NOT find pictures of a wedding that did this.  I JUST HAD AN ORIGINAL IDEA!


Here is the closest I could find.  Now imagine that that cute little boy is a happy couple

We got a wedding to plan people!

What's your favorite park?
