2dBride's biography
My article on lighting paper lanterns took first place in the DIY Wedding Challenge 2010. Thanks to all who helped!
2dBride is pronounced "Second Bride." It refers both to the fact that it was my second marriage that brought me here, and to the fact that ours was a same-sex wedding with two brides. After the wedding, I have stayed here because my son is now engaged.
Rather than keep a separate bio at each wedding site I belong to, I have just one on Google sites. Now that I'm married, it has all my recaps, including vendor reviews, instructions for DIY projects, etc. If you are interested, here are links to the various sections of it.
A video of our wedding is on my bio page, but you will need to friend me to see it. I have also posted photos of my wedding, as you can see at this link. However, ones in which we are identifiable are visible to friends only. Feel free to friend me if you want to see my video or the photos of my wedding in which we are identifiable.
My wedding had a lot of DIY in it. I've posted articles here on PW with instructions for several of them:
- DIY Backlit Food Signs
- DIY Chocolate Fountain
- DIY Chuppah/Mandap/Wedding Canopy
- DIY Lantern Menus
- DIY Uplighting
- DIY Wedding Challenge 2010: Lighting Paper Lanterns Winner of the DIY Wedding Challenge 2010!
- Cleaning a Wedding Dress Yourself
- Frozen Strawberry Mimosas
- How to Sell Your Wedding Stuff
- Peeing While Wearing the Dress
- Simple and Inexpensive Photo Backdrop
I've also got an article that is not exactly DIY, but may be helpful to some, "Getting a Marriage License in Massachusetts."
Now that my wedding is over, I'm trying to reclaim my house from all the stuff I got for the wedding. You can use the form at this link to inquire about either of these items. I respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within that time, please check your spam filter.
Wedding Dress
Ivory Emme Bridal size 12, street size 10, shortened to fit a 5'1" bride with two-inch heels, $250 including shipping within the continental United States. Price reduced! Many more pictures of the dress can be seen at this link. The dress has a five-point bustle, so that you can wear it during the reception without having the train trailing behind you. Cleaning can be arranged at buyer's cost, or you could use your favorite cleaner or clean it yourself following the instructions at this link.
Cocktail Mixer
Twenty-four unopened liter bottles of Finest Call strawberry puree. We will sell each one-liter bottle for $4 $3, or a case of twelve bottles for $44 $33. Price reduced!
