San Francisco!

Here are some photos from our honeymoon in San Francisco! We loved it and definitely reccomend it anyone who wishes to travel to the west coast! More photos to come!

Merry Christmas!

we're back!

So, our wedding was amazing. I had so much fun and we think our guests had a blast as well! I can't believe the wedding is over. Its kind of a relief not to have to think about paying people and preparing my work for school's juries examination! We went on our honeymoon without a care in the world. We had an amazing time in San Francisco and Las Vegas. I think everyone should try and make it out there sometime. Its beautiful!
I'm still moving into our place. I've gone back and forth from my home at least 4 times already! I haven't even loaded photos from the trip! I'll be sure to post some on the next post. Well, back to packing!

Wedding Dress Hanger!

My wedding dress hanger by Lila Francis is here! I love it, and that hanger is going to rock my dress!

Change of Plan

So, a few weeks ago St. Lucia was hit by a hurricane. At first it didn't affect our honeymoon plans, but a week later we got an email notifying us of the cancellation to our reservation at the Jalousie Plantation. We were sad, but quickly decided to hit up San Francisco instead. Neither of us have been there and we keep hearing that it is a beautiful city! So we changed our flight, and now we're going on an amazing trip. We'll go to San Fran for a few days, then drive to Napa Valley, then visit Yosemite (a dream of mine since I was a child) and then finish off at Las Vegas, NV (we're going to see the Beatles Love Cirque Du Soliel!!!) ! BAM! We're really excited and can't wait to go.

Bachelorette Part 2

After Rifle Paper, we walked and walked all over Winter Park. We hit up a Farmer's market and had the most delicious Kettle corn ever! yum! Thanks for sharing Chanti and Ena!

of course, we posed everywhere... we don't get opportunities like this in Miami. lol I think we took this picture like 10 times before we moved on. I love my friends.

here's a shot of the kettle corn. yum! Got a shot of Tammie and Chanti being cute. lol

This is Nikki showing us her years of dance experience! She has a lot of balance.

Chanti and myself...enjoying life.

Chanti's shoes (they've been places ;) ) and Ena's camera necklace which I frequently borrow (shameless)



Nikki, Enamarie and Mailin having a hair party. lol I think girls always love taking action shots of our hair. It seems way cool at the moment. lol
random: but the Starbucks that we visited before we shot this photo clearly had never heard hispanic names in their life. They mispelled almost everyone's name. Tatiana= Tatayana, Mailin= Malen, Chanti=Chantel... haha it made us laugh a lot actually.

This dog, stole our hearts. I believe his name was Jack or something. But he was adorable. I def want a Doberman. He was so gentle and kind with children too! Too bad he's enormous and won't fit in my apartment-to-be.

 

 Here- we found a tree in the middle of the park and Chanti, Enamarie and Mailin decided it would be a fantastic idea to climb it. I was wearing a dress and could not for fear of exposure :)

 

So, here we are, not climbing. It was fun too, so no worries.

After we climbed we started a frenzy with the children in the area climbing the tree as well. Then we see this sign, and realize, we don't believe in signs.
ha.

More walking (we like to do that a lot). We walked to a Fresh Market, where they had tons of live music and awesome handmade product booths.

I skipped a lot, because its pretty late and I need some sleep! haha but I'll catch u pwith what I skipped.

Here's a shot of my lovely Maid Of Honor being awesome. She is seriosuly from the Lord. I am so grateful for her. <3

kk i'm out. i'll be back.
xoxo

Bachelorette Part 1

Friday Night, the girls and I had some din-din at Cheesecake Factory before we left to Miami Beach (LIES). They had told me that was our destination for the weekend. To my surprise they blind folded me outside of Cheesecake and before you know it I was walking to the parking lot with 8 girls blind. haha

We got to the car and the took off my blindfold and yelled "you're going to Orlando"! Definitely a surprise! We were staying at Josh's house (Tammie's lovely boyfriend) for the weekend. They had so many surprises were waiting to be had! After our 4 hour drive (Nikki is a wonderful driver) we arrived at Josh's around 1 or 2 am. 

The next day we woke up had delicious breakfast and headed to Winter Park.  Chanti said that Rifle Paper Co. was located there, and I wanted that to be our first stop! I had recently purchased recipe cards from them for my bridal shower and was beyond thrilled to find out that we were going to actually see the store! It turned out that it was their Grand Opening day! We took so many photos in there! It is a beautiful little shoppe! I, of course, had to purchase items (you'll see 'em as the last few photos).

Check out our pics:

part 2 is coming soon!

cute ideas i love

I write "I" because Danny loves it if I love it. hehe :) though I'm pretty sure he loves the spraklers ;)

I stumbled upon these images on Green Wedding Shoes and Style Me Pretty, which are some of my many daily wedding reads! So much inspiration all over these places! I'm hoping to incorporate some this awesomeness into our wedding!

music!

This past Tuesday, Nick, Amanda and Cristina came over to rehearse music for our wedding ceremony. Ashley and Enamarie tagged along for support (love you ladies). Danny and I chose a few songs that we wanted to have for our ceremony. We wanted them played live because I have some very talented friends. We've all known each other for years and Danny and I haven't seen them play in forever! 

When they started playing...it was magical (as cheesy as that sounds). They are making our dream day possible with their amazing gifts. Cristina will be playing the Viola, Nick will be lending his lovely voice and guitar playing abilities and Amanda wil be playing piano! The songs we chose... are as follows...Brighter than Sunshine by Aqualung, Real Love by Regina Spektor (John Lennon cover), and Lovers in Japan by Coldplay. It sounds beautiful and I can't wait till the day!

shoes and champagne flutes!

My awesome little brother Bryan, purchased my shoes for the wedding. He is the sweetest! I love them! They're high, but seem comfortable ;)

My Mom purchased these champagne flutes for the wedding! Aren't they wonderful!?! Thanks Mom!
..thanks Kate Spade for making lovely things.

Tea Party Bridal Shower

This weekend was my bridal shower. It came out beautiful! Everyone did an amazing job at making this come together just as I had dreamed (as cheesy as that sounds) . A big thanks to my bridesmaids, family and dear friends! The shower was a Tea Party theme, and I had been gathering up ideas for it since my lovely friend Amy got married a few years back. I have to admit that I don't really like tea, sometimes... and thought it was really funny that I wanted to have such a shower. I love the idea of a tea party: the dresses, desserts, cups, flowers. Its all too precious.
I had an amazing time and can't believe it went by so fast! Here are some photos of the day. I need photos from everyone who had a camera that day! I must have more photos!

enjoy.
