I can’t believe I’ve only now discovered The Daily Love on Twitter. Seriously, where have I been? But since I clicked “follow” oh, say, 26 hours ago (thanks Mindy), I’ve been in awe of how much it has fueled me. Described as an “e-multivitamin for your soul” (ha), TDL gives regular doses of inspiration in 140 characters or less. These motivational words, as cheesy as they can be, are just what I need in my life right now.

Some of my favorite tweets:

“The only way to deal with rejection is by shining.” —Diane von Furstenberg

“Don’t do it for their approval, do it for yours.”

“You will find it when you stop looking for it and become it.”

“Forget who you used to be and embrace who you are without attachment. Become brand new in every moment.”

“Before you focus on who, what, when & where … Focus on WHY!”

You can also get your “daily dose of love” via email.

What are your favorite inspirational quotes?

More of this (and other non-wedding goodies) to come! Have a fabulous weekend.

“Being married is like having a color television set. You never want to go back to black-and-white.”

My heart feels full.

Today, I am very excited to announce that Michelle Woo Dot Com (SO MANY SYLLABLES!) is now simply Woo!

Woo!

So easy, right? Wahoo! I mean, Woo!

Along with the new name comes a rad new look (skillfully designed by my husband Matt and whiningly project managed by me) and a new focus. I’ll still be documenting my crazy little life but I’ll also be writing about stuff I think is cool. Fashion, art, food, weddings, home decor, events, whatever. Anything that makes me say … Woo! OK, I’ll stop now.

After this one.

Woo!

As always, thanks for reading.

Love,

Michelle

Woo!

What? It’s my name.

P.S. Yeah, this may be my passive-aggressive way of rebelling against the name change thing. Don’t judge me.

I wonder if I’ll ever be a person who can dance in a nightclub alone, soberly. (Doubt it.) That’s true confidence.

Note to self: Bring some oil blotting paper to the wedding. You can catch the attention of helicopter pilots with that forehead.

More bridal shower goodness to come.

Thanks, Christine.

For Matt’s 30th birthday, I threw him a surprise Star Wars party with the help and unabashed participation of our friends. We went all out. Or as you might say, The Force was with us.

We started at our apartment.

There were costumes.

And light sabers.

I, of course, dressed as Matt’s fantasy.

And then there was the big surprise.

Our friend Kyung remade the Star Wars opening crawl with the words: “30 years ago, in a galaxy called California, a baby named Matt was born …” It was super cool! In the middle of the video, we marched out to surprise him.

And then later at the bar we revealed the cake. The amazing, custom-made R2D2 cake!

Matt had a blast.

It was the nerdiest night ever (someone asked me at the bar, “Did you guys just come from the convention?”) but it was so much fun. Happy 30th birthday, Matt!

Thanks to our friends for the photos!
