Wedding Pictures :)

Just wanted to post a few of my favorite shots from the wedding. I really, really love the black and white pictures! Very happy with the way they all turned out. :)It rained most of the day, but it didn't get to me one bit. I feel like it actually kept me calm, Lol. It was especially nice during the ceremony and you could hear the rain outside. Many people said it's good luck when it rains anyway! I don't think the day could have been better. :D

Wedding dress and bouquet!

It feels like forever since my last post! We got back from our honeymoon on Friday and have been so busy ever since getting our place all set up. I think we are finally done! All that is left to do is paint.. Which I don't know if I will have the energy to do that for a little while. We have also yet to set up cable and internet, and it's driving me crazy. Hopefully that can get accomplished in the next couple of days! So anyway, just wanted to do a quick dress (from my final fitting) and bouquet post.

There is definitely more of this to come once our professional pictures are done. :o) It was a very happy day and I am so thrilled to finally be married to my best friend. <3

Wedding Countdown: 3 Days!

I can't believe my wedding is this Saturday! Wow. I am really excited, but starting to get a little nervous. I went to my final dress fitting yesterday, and it fit, thank God. That was my fourth time going in and it just wasn't right until yesterday. My shoes and clutch came in the mail a couple days ago. I was a little worried that the color wouldn't match up right, but they will look good. The clutch is slightly brighter than my shoes, but I really doubt it will be that noticeable.

Clutch: Nordstrom

Shoes: DSW

Wedding day nails: Opi's Who needs a prince?

Oh yeah. Our first dinner together at the new place. Lol. We pick up our kitchen table tomorrow! Whole foods rotisserie chicken is yummmm.

Last night out as a single girl!

I have been so busy lately (& sick!) that I have been neglecting my blog. Hopefully I can go back to my normal posting habits pretty soon here. We start to move into our apartment on Monday, August 1st, and then the wedding is that Saturday. I can't believe how fast time has gone by! I am so excited and anxious to get into our new place and decorate. Last Friday I went out with my FSIL and my best friend to celebrate. It was the perfect low-key night. We went to get manicures and pedicures, then went out to this great new restaurant called Zazios for dinner and drinks. It was a great night! :)

Lobster Ravioli was so good!

Cosmo

Bellini Martini. Delish.

OPI's Strawberry Margarita for my manicure! I love this color!

My Bridal Shower!

On Saturday my FSIL hosted a tea party bridal shower for me and it was absolutely amazing. I really could not have imagined a better day. Everything went perfect and the food was incredible. There were about 16 people total (we are having a small wedding of about 50 people), and my fiance and his brother were there too. They ate in a separate room though while we played games and did all of the girly stuff. When it was time to open the gifts Fiance came in to help me. :) I wore Essie's Ballet Slippers for the day and it looked great with my dress! I never got a chance to take a pic of it though, I have been sick the last couple of days and took it off. It is a really pretty color but didn't look good after a few days.

Life is Good.

Yesterday was mine and Fiance's 5 year anniversary. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We grilled some dinner and had a lazy night together. It was pretty wonderful. :o)

Last weekend I went shopping with my future SIL and got my shower dress. I LOVE it! I got it from jcrew, on sale! It is exactly what I had in mind for my tea party bridal shower. I can't wait to wear it. Now I just need to find some shoes to go with. Thinking white or silver..




I am thinking this for wedding hair {minus bangs}:

Fiance and I went to the local pet store to get our little boy some litter. We almost took all 3 of these kitties home! But I don't think Philbert would be too thrilled to have 3 little sisters. Oh, kittens.. Who doesn't love them, really?!!




.. and I found this little guy sleeping! Haha :)




Got these little beauties in the mail a few days ago.. I can't wait to try them.



From L to R:
OPI Midnight in Moscow
Essie Fifth Avenue
OPI La Paz-itively Hot
China Glaze Broken Hearted Crackle
China Glaze For Audrey

Happy Weekend!

Weekend Goodies.

On Thursday I got together with a friend to get the invites stuffed and ready to go! Wedding planning is coming to an end, only the little details left now (aside from getting his suit and ring). My Mom and I also went to the florist that day. We were able to pick out flowers for the tables and my bouquet. They are going to be so amazing! Pale blue hydrangeas, lilies, and freesia. LOVE. <3




I picked up this lip gloss on sale for $9.99. Really pretty berry color for summer. :) My only gripe about this is that it takes like a 1,000 clicks to get any out. Then 10 minutes later it's a gooey mess.



Fiance also bought me some really pretty things from jcrew! He did good picking out. :)
