Pre-Bridal Shower

By April 27, 2012

We have 2 weeks to go for Fabe’s wedding. The boys are off to J’s bachelor party and the gals are throwing Fabe a bridal shower tomorrow morning. It’s been a long time coming with lots of planning, meetings, textings, e-mails… drawing mocks, making signs, gathering cups, ordering food… tomorrow is finally OUR big day where I think it will finally hit her that she’s getting married. It’s weird because I feel like whenever someone is going through the wedding planning process, it’s this out of body experience where when it’s their actual bridal shower they don’t really believe it’s for them. All of our lives we attend so many showers and we feel so happy and joyful for the bride, but when it’s our turn, we don’t realize that it’s for US and people are happy and joyous for ME! I keep trying to remind Fabe to soak in the moment, smile, have fun! Bottle up all of the love from everyone.

We have 43 ladies attending the shower. The entire week it’s been pretty chilly and rainy, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be beautiful. Cross fingers. I can’t wait for Fabe to see everything we have put together for her! Her own little mini wedding. Can’t wait to share pictures and all of our inspirations with you all.

I’ll let you all know how it goes! Eeps!

The Cream. Part 2

By March 14, 2012

More from The Cream event. So much goodness.

The yummiest cheese (and even better hand held cheese platter) from Whoa Nelly Catering.

Cute wine.

A super cute and yummy dessert! Shaved ice with funky (but good!) flavors from Sno Con Amor. My favorite flavor was watermelon with basil.

Love this heart. Wish I could hang it in my house.

Even if you are not engaged or are already married, I would definitely recommend The Cream event. You just walk out of there feeling inspired and the energy in the room is so fun and happy. Also, all the ladies are dressed super cute so if you love to people watch– this is the place.

The Cream. Part 1

By March 13, 2012

Fabe and I went to The Cream event 2 weeks ago and it was so much fun.  It was so nice to see all these hard working women (and men) in the wedding industry making it happen for themselves. There was a dance contest in the end where a couple won a trip to Paris! Super sweet.

Honestly. Life has been insane. With Fabe’s wedding exactly (exactly!) 2 months away we are all starting to feel it in our bones. So much planning goes into a wedding and  seeing Fabe juggle wedding planning and work– I must say she is a trooper.

All the invitations are being sent out. The wedding, the bridal shower… I just can’t wait for the bachelorette where we can bask under the Hawaiian sun and get away from it all even if it’s just for a sweet moment.

Happy Leap Day

By February 29, 2012

Happy Leap Day everyone! I was trying to find out some fun things that happen on this day and the one thing that stuck and that I kept reading about was that Leap Day is the day WOMEN propose.  Isn’t that so funny/cute? If it’s something that’s been on your mind, get to it! Today is your chance!

Speaking of weddings, Fabe and I are going to THE CREAM event on Thursday!

We hope to be inspired not only for Fabe’s wedding, but for Everly too! After I saw these pictures of what’s to come I got even more excited.

We’ll definitely post all about it! We hope you all enjoy your extra day of 2012!

Hi Suca. 

We are FINALLY in Japan. OMG. It took us 24 hours to finally get here after all the waiting and layovers and eating and eating and sleeping and sleeping and bus rides BUT we finally made it. You are showering right now before we head out to eat some shabu shabu and shop. You don’t know this, but this is a very special trip for me. You don’t know it yet, but this is going to be our last trip together before you get proposed to and hitched! I am starting to wanna tear just writing that. I know that we will have lots of amazing times after this… but this is our last one with you as a single lady. When sumi hugged me at dinner the night before we took off… we were in the parking lot and she gave me a big hug and even though you were right next to us she whispered in my ear, “have fun with suca as your last time together before it happens!!” and that’s when it hit me. That OMG. This IS going to be our last time together!! I was anxious about our trip, but even more excited and sentimental. Every time we are laughing I think of the moment that had just passed and it has a special meaning to my heart. So cheesy, I know. You and J are definitely going through some growing pains right now, but it is all for the goodness of what’s to come. I pray for you guys all the time so I know it’s all going to be ok.

I’m excited for our trip together and exploring japan together and hopefully we’ll get to see the fish auction tomorrow morning at 4am. I will try to write as much as I can, but that might be hard as we are stuck at hips for the next 7 days and will only get to write while you are in the bathroom.
Love you so much! You don’t know it yet, but this is our last trip together as just the way we are at this exact moment!
