Top 100 Wedding Blogs and Twitters

Here's some exciting news for a Monday...according to Bride Tide, I'm among the Top 100 Wedding Blogs (and Twitters) to follow in 2009! So very cool to be listed among some of my favorite bloggers! A big thanks goes out to all my readers! Check the comprehensive list for full details.

And, if you're on Twitter, and want to follow me, I'm @travelbride.

Snap, snap. I've won the picture tag award

The lovely Jane from In the Waiting Lane tagged me with this fun Picture Tag Award. Here are the instructions:

1) go to your pictures on your computer

2) go to your 6th folder

3) choose the 6th picture in that folder

This not particularly flattering picture of me and my friend Eric is from April 2005. We were having dinner with our then newly engaged friends Beth and Isaac at Spice Market in New York's Meatpacking District. Eric is definitely one of my more fearless friends when it comes to trying new foods. We had a delicious meal and for dessert Eric ordered this pungent Durian ice cream. It was absolutely awful and I don't think we took more than a bite each. I checked the menu and they no longer serve it so the coast is clear.

I pass this along to the following six bloggers:

Amy Jean at The Relentless Bride

Ellen at To The Max

Jamie at It's a Jamie Thing

Jeana at My Dream Ring

Nina at According to Nina

Rachel at Rachel's Ramblins

1) I'm often called a hypochondriac.
