Joyous Dawn & Mr. Mookie’s three-week honeymoon road trip
A new husband and wife, a dog, and a rented RV + several National Parks all over the US = one breathtaking honeymoon that’s not for the faint of heart.
An elegant gothic Iron Chef wedding
As someone who has never really adhered to the concept of “gender” and felt like I fall somewhere on the scale between tomboy and androgynous, I was surprised to find planning for my wedding made me feel unexpectedly girly. I fought it for a little while, but eventually decided to just go with it. Wearing makeup and doing my hair for one day didn’t make me a new person, it was just the side of me that decided to pop out for the occasion.
Pin curl your hair for major no-heat waves and retro style (pin curls work great on short hair too!)
You know we love us some Roxie from How-To Hair girl. Check out this video tutorial for making SUPER EASY pin curls that can be left long and loose or to create a gorgeous updo on long or short hair.
Let’s all admire Kwame’s hand-made wedding outfit
My husband is as unconventional as I am, so I was not at all surprised when he decided to wear a tunic and sarong for our wedding. He picked out the fabrics and beads and gave me a basic idea of what he wanted design-wise, and I went from there. I have to say I was pretty happy with how well it turned out.
