Hi everyone! My name is Erin, and I’m ecstatic to be one of the DC bloggers for Elizabeth Anne Designs! I was born and raised in Germany due to my parents’ military careers, but I have been fortunate enough to call DC home for the past 14 years! I love everything about the city, but am also a bit of …

Hi EAD readers! I’m Erin. I am an earth and animal loving girl who is planning a Texas wedding to a fellow Midwesterner.

I met my Fiancé, Jeremy 2 years ago at a Young Professionals networking event. I was not the most tactful when we met and may have insulted him but thankfully one of my girlfriends (and now …

When Brad from Shaking Hands Productions (he’s a fabulous Virginia-based videographer, go have a look!) emailed me with his proposal story, I knew I had to share it with you.  While Brad’s girlfriend Lyndsey was modeling for one of his videos Brad surprised her by proposing and Adam Miller caught the moment on video.   I teared up watching!

My proposal to Lyndsey from …

Mr. had a hard time with the fact that I did NOT want a diamond. He thought I was only trying to be nice and “settling” for an aquamarine since a diamond was too expensive. Not at all. I completely trusted his judgment on what he wanted to spend. Even if I could have any ring in the world, regardless …

Ed Note: I’m so excited to welcome Christina from Pretty Bride to EAD to recap her fabulous Louisville wedding for us!  Ya’ll are going to love reading her posts this week and be so inspired by what she pulled together!

First of all, I am so excited and honored to be given the opportunity to recap my …

Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to be among the fantastic group of women on EAD who have documented their respective journeys down the aisle. You might already know a bit of my wedding story if you followed my wedding blog Eat, Drink, Marry, which I began shortly after our engagement and continued through our wedding over Memorial Day weekend. During our …

OMG what a whirlwind trip to Michigan-I know you didn’t think that Michigan could be associated with the word whirlwind but for me it does!

I had such an AMAZING trip. I love being back home, and being with all of the people who know me the best, and I can be completely myself with, because most of these people I …

Every winter for the past few years, Brian and I take a mini-vacation to the mountains for a long weekend. This all started because Brian is a professional baseball player and it is impossible to shop for a person that lives out of a suitcase for six to eight months of the year. I was worried that whatever I got …

As I mentioned in , Mr. popped the question while we were in Spain. We split our 10 days there between Madrid, Sevilla, and Barcelona. Now, I’m not saying that I thought he was going to propose, and I’m certainly not saying that I didn’t think he was going to propose, but I think it’s better to tell this story …

Ed Note: I’m so excited to introduce another blogger to the EAD crew – Juel!  I know you’re going to love her as much as I do.  And now, I’ll let her talk!…

What better introduction than an alliteration? My 4th grade Language Arts teacher would be proud! (Thanks Mrs. Royer)

I wasn’t engaged when I discovered wedding blogs, but then again, …

In of the proposal we had just seen some pretty fish at Birch Aquarium and were just leaving dinner at Spread, happy and full and ready for our third stop on the itinerary! After about 20 minutes, we arrived here:

[Well, okay, it didn't REALLY look like this, it was dark, but this is what it looks like in the ...

One day back in January…

Him: Hey, you should pack a bag for the weekend, because we’re going somewhere.

Me: Why where are we going?

Him: I can’t tell you, it’s a surprise.

Me: Well if I don’t know, how do I know what to pack?

Him: Um…just bring two sets of clothes.

Me: Are we going somewhere nice? Do I need a dress? What about …
