“Girl it’s only you
Have it your way
And if you want you can decide
And if you’ll have me
I can provide everything that you desire
Said if you get a feeling
Feeling that I am feeling
Won’t you come closer to me baby,
You’ve already got me right
where you want me baby
I just wanna be your man
How does it feel?”

SNIPPET & INK
in her words….
“As a wedding blogger, I’ve seen so many different weddings, and could imagine hundreds of possibilities
for my own wedding once I got engaged. I started to go a little crazy with all of the choices out there! To narrow
things down and make the planning process easier, I let our venue and wedding date dictate design choices.
One of the challenges I found with planning my own wedding was making sure
our choices were what we really wanted – spending so much time looking at other
weddings, there were trends I thought maybe I should follow, or elements I thought
maybe had been done too many times. Sticking with a classic aesthetic made choices
easier, and incorporating things we truly liked and thought our guests
would enjoy (rather than what we thought was “in” or “out”)
meant we could feel confident about our decisions.
Even the smallest thing can point your inspiration in a certain direction.
For me, it was the red and white napkin used by the restaurant where we had
our reception. Even though we didn’t use those napkins for our wedding dinner,
we did incorporate red as an accent color, which fit not only the
venue but also the winter and holiday season.
Inspiration boards can be such a great way to focus your vision into a
cohesive look, and also to communicate that vision with friends, family and vendors.
Don’t think that they have to incorporate every single idea or bit of inspiration
that you’ve collected. For example, even though there’s only one image of a cake
in my own inspiration board, I shared several cake photos with my wedding
planners and baker to give them an idea of what I liked,
and they used that to create something that I loved.”

“I’m so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long
Hmm just
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We’re all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room
Yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So don’t you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
It’s all I wanna be is a woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It’s time to move over
So I wannna be
I’m so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long
Hmm just
Give me a reason to love you”
