You guys – it’s Coachella time! To kick off the first of this three weekend, musical extravaganza in the desert, I’ve decided to provide you with a tibble that’s totally Coachelle appropriate, and Royal approved. Ellie Goulding (one of my absolute, favorite artists) is performing on April 11 (today!) and April 18 at Coachella. She also performed at […]

Wedding Wednesday | Sweating For The Wedding
Do you know what I am loathing most about this whole wedding planning thing? It’s the “getting in shape for the wedding” thing. In high school (and for a brief time in college) I was an athlete. Two or three hours of practice per day were the norm. Even during the off-season I was still […]
In Sickness And In Health
I woke up at 3:30am yesterday to the sound of my fiance throwing up in the bathroom. Now, I confess … I am not proud of my reaction. I banished him – the love of my life, who was so sick that he decided to take a bath in the middle of the night to […]
Wedding Wednesday || Floral Arrangements Galore
The strangest thing about wedding planning is probably that I’m having the most fun with floral arrangements. I’ve got no idea why, especially since floral arrangements tend to fall onto the list of “things brides wish they hadn’t spent so much money on” but man – I am loving it. I booked my florist the […]
Wedding Wednesday || The Gap
There’s a small dilemma with my wedding date/time, and until recently I hadn’t been able to figure out how to deal with it. Specifically, it’s a two hour gap. My fiance and I are both Catholic and are having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. The issue this presents is that the latest any Catholic church will […]
Cocktail Hour || Apple Spritzer
Did you guys see that… it was the sun! It’s almost… ::whispers:: warm outside. I mean, it hit a whopping 43 degrees yesterday in Rhode Island! Okay – so it may not be flipflop weather just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the spring weather a little bit with a refreshing and seasonal cocktail. […]
Wedding Wednesday || One Year To Go!
Can you believe that one year from this Friday (March 21) I will be walking down the aisle!? Well, if you can I certainly can’t. My fiance and I had been dating for so (so, soooo) long that the thought that he is actually going to be my husband still blows my mind. Although to be […]
Cocktail Hour | Hot Apple Cider Rum Punch
Oh heeey guess what. It’s going to snow this weekend. Again. For the THIRD time this week. Seriously. I got nothin’ else for ya folks – it’s going to snow and I am about ready to just give up on life and move to Alaska. I bet there’s less snow there. So in between shoveling […]
Cocktail Hour | Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Baby, it’s cold out there. No seriously – it’s cold out there! Most of the country was bombarded with snow and ice this week (including the Southern states, who simply did not know how to deal), and it was just… not fun. But on the bright side, it’s Friday! Which means it’s time to kick back […]
Cocktail Hour || Pomegranate-Champagne Punch
I confess. Until very recently I couldn’t stand the taste of wine (although I’ve since found one – only one – that I can tolerate the taste of), and Champagne always seemed like a bit of a waste. That is, of course, until this past Christmas Eve. As news of my engagement spread throughout the family, it […]
