Okay. So quit with the emails about the cake post. I know. We have been BUSY!!! Here are a few wrap-up items to discuss:

1. Local photographer has a blog, Vickers Photography, run by Matt Vickers. I won’t lie, I was excited to see another local wedding vendor get on the blog band wagon. He is also trying to catch my own geekness by twittering, you can follow him here.

2. Speaking of twittering, thanks to all of our followers, we are up to 174!! And of course there are the ones that follow but don’t join themselves, right Sarah McDonald?

3. Won an award this week (toot, toot). It’s a presitigous one for this area. The local media Evansville Courier & Press hosts Reader’s Choice Awards. It’s a “blank” ballot and everyone has to fill out their top three faves in multiple categories.

Well guess who won a Gold Award?

WE did!!! Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who voted! We have worked so hard the past five years and can’t believe soon it will be six. Sideline: A picture of my husband and I made the Sunday newspaper at the award banquet, we were sitting with Stacy and Andrea Walker, of Walker Studios. They won a Gold Award too!

Congratulations to everyone else who won as well!

4. We have lots of good photos coming up of real weddings and of course the successful Holly’s House Gala. You’ll love some of the events we’ll show!

Have a great weekend everyone!

If you want a piece (tee hee) of Princess Diana’s wedding, today is your lucky day!

A slice of Diana’s wedding cake that has been preserved for 27 years in a former servant’s attic (yuk) is going on auction today! They are expecting it to yeild up to £20,000. For old, stale, 27 year old cake.

Check it out:

The cake slice has the crest on it, which makes it very valuable (well of course!) and it also comes with a letter from Princess Diana (now we’re talking).

I guess everyone’s gotta be doing something (that’s what I say when I don’t understand things).

Good luck to the winning bidder!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Tina and Randy and their memorable wedding last year. We highlighted their wedding here.

It was a fantastic day and a beautiful wedding. And I’m sure her bridal party is still having nightmares about the doves!

Happy One Year Anniversary!
