Anniversary Traditions

The 3rd Anniversary is here and I cannot believe it has been 3 years already. I guess it is true what they say… time flies when your having fun!

To keep the love and laughter a high priority, my husband and I have come up with our very own anniversary traditions. One of which included each of us donning our wedding day attire. Him in his suit – and “Oh, does he look good!” and me in my wedding dress… yes it still fits. Then we hit the town! Yes, we may get a few stares or whispers, but most people tend to recognize the same enjoyment and humor that we do. This year, we even had another couple secretly pay for our bottle of wine before we paid our server. They weren't looking for a “Thank You” or a pat on the back because they left before we had the chance to do so. They just did it to be thoughtful and kind. Don't you wish more people were like this? My husband and I were really touched and can’t wait for the opportunity to return the favor to someone else one day.

So, that’s a little snapshot into my anniversary traditions. Be sure to make your own and send us some stories.

It is the time of year again to pull out all the spooky decor, change the front porch lights to something scary and carve those pumpkins. This is one of Sashay's favorite holidays.

In honor of our last years Bride and Groom and well... just for the fun of it, we are dedicating this months blogs strictly to the fun festivities of Halloween. Here are some of the top ten costume ideas we have scene over the years and years of Halloween Parties we have thrown or attended. Enjoy!

2. Rainbow Bright
3. Gallagher












4. The Channel 5 Action News Team (Anchorman)








5. The Godfather, who btw, was the Father of our Halloween Bride last year.











6. Cruella de Vil










7. Dumb and Dumber










8. Jem and the Holograms










9. The Captain of the Yacht Rock Revue









10. Devil with a Blue Dress On!

Bride & Bloom Magazine - Sashay feature!!!!

Okay Okay.... so we are a bit over excited about our latest Sashay press. I think maybe it's because finally someone has recognized the importance of strutting shoes on your wedding day. And when it comes to "strutting shoes", Bride and Bloom Magazine went directly to the source and asked the Gals of Sashay where they send their Brides. Check out what we had to say in their latest publication.

Now come on Brides, join in and "just say NO" to those boring, mundane, egg white, wedding generic shoes.

Show your style.
Show your spunk.
Let's see that strut!

Christa and Holden hit the big time!

Everyone is in love with our latest Bride and Groom, Christa and Holden. Editors and staff from the top Atlanta Wedding magazines agree that this wedding was one of the best. A very unique day for a special Bride and Groom. Here is what Atlanta Occasions Magazine had to say on their blog. Scroll down so you don't miss a thing.

The Sweet and Saucy Top Ten: Entertainment worth traveling for.

Throughout the year, a limited amount of hit Broadway or Off-Broadway or otherwise shows come through Atlanta. Sashay has done a bit of travel over the years and some of the shows we suggest traveling for are this weeks Top Ten. Plus, you get the added perk of a vacation. What's not to love about these suggestions.

1. LOVE, The Beatles Cirque du Soleil is only in Las Vegas baby!
2. God of Carnage, starring James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis. New York City.
3. Spamalot does travel, but for the best casting, you absolutely need to head to New York City.
4. "O", yet another amazing Cirque du Soleil with the added element of water. Again, Las Vegas.
5. Les Miserables is the longest running play in London. If you find yourself across the pond, be sure to take in the history
6. Lion King remains among the top of the longest running musicals. Now you can see it with amazing cast and stage in not only New York, but also in Las Vegas.
7. Cher may be a diva, but if you had the successful 45 year career that she has had, you might be too. She's strutting again in Las Vegas.
8. A Cabaret show in Paris is an experience like no other. You can go for the old standard, Moulin Rouge, go for the more risque, Crazy Horse Cabaret, or go the authentic route and visit Le Paradis Latin. All three shows include dinner and champagne. Bon Appetit!
9. Love Never Dies is the long anticipated Andrew Lloyd Webber sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. The show is scheduled to open in London at the Adelphi Theatre in March of 2010.
10. Hamlet, starring Jude Law has just opened. What a treat to see such a credible actor in this outstanding role. Only on Broadway. Only in New York.

The Sweet and Saucy Top Ten: Pick Up Lines?

Okay... so you may not win over your future Bride with any of these pick up lines, but some guys really do try. Being the wives of local rockers, the Gals of Sashay hit the town quite often and occasionally come across the brave young men who still think a pick up line is going to do the trick. Come on guys. If you are looking for your future Mrs., just buy her a drink and be yourself. Here are some of our favorites and some good ones we have overheard. Again, in no particular order.

1) Are you lost? Because heaven's a long way from here.
2) I was blinded by your beauty so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.
3) Do you have a sunburn, or are you always this hot?
4) Hi my name is "fill in guy's name" and I'll be over there if you need me. (then he walks away.) Actually not too bad.
5) Hey baby. Turn that frown upside down.
6) Does this rag smell like chloroform to you? okay... so we haven't heard that one, but it's funny right?
7) Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it's just a sparkle.
8) I know I don't have a chance, but I just wanted to hear an angel talk.
9) Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa just what I want for
Christmas.
10) Do you mind if I hang out here until its safe back where I farted. If some guy actually tried this on me, I may consider him. FUNNY!

The Sweet and Saucy Top Ten: Reasons not to post

Okay.... we apologize for the lack of Top Tens the past two weeks. To give our fans an understanding of why we have not kept up the posting, this weeks Top Ten is all about giving you excuses... btw, we ARE back on track now so look out for next week!

1. Alyssa has been on a 2-week jet-setting trip to Ireland, UK and Scotland. Jealous?
2. Katy was holding down Fort Sashay.
3. Katy also took a week in Hilton Head because she was envious of Alyssa's trip.
4. We had an amazing wedding on the 12th that was so terrific it will be published in the upcoming Atlantan Brides Magazine. Stay tuned!

6. Alyssa had a big birthday and she had to stay on top of the party planning. Husbands are not to be trusted. :)
