What's in a name?

As the wedding date draws nearer, my emotions are seeping through.  I mean, I teared up from imagining my name changing to Meagan Badger.  In less than 7 months!  Seriously, this is something I've thought about since I can remember thinking.  I was a little girl after all, and little girls like to think of those things whenever they think of cute boys.  At least the little girls I knew and know did and do.  It's hard for me to believe that it's about to change.  It's hard to believe that the Pierce family name will soon be left only to my brother and his adorable family.  But it's something that I've thought about for a long, long time and it's something that I am more than happy to change.  Perhaps if his last name were Smith or Jones it would be a different story.  But Badger?!

In case you can't tell, I'm getting giddy here...

Super-8 Videos & Photobooths

There are only a few things I've come across that I absolutely MUST have as my selfish splurge items for the wedding. 

1. I desparately want a photobooth.  I've wanted one since I started all this wedding planning nonsense.  When I went to my friend Sarah's wedding in NY, they had a photobooth which just made me even more determined to get one for ours.  I love, love, love photobooths.  Especially vintage ones, with pics like these:

I can only imagine all the possibilities.  All that beer & wine + our goofy friends = great photos.

2.  When I originally saw this video from The Flash Dance, my heart melted.  And still, every time I see it I swoon.  I am so in love with it.  That is why I am bound and determined to get some super-8's, assign some crafty friends to the task and (quoting Tim Gunn here) MAKE IT WORK. 

Everything and everyone in The Flash Dance is incredibly talented and awesome.  I wish I could be friends with them!  But I have amazing friends with amazing talents so this WILL happen!!
