Decor Accents




On a whim, I ran to the 99 cent store, and low and behold, there were these candle holders sitting on the shelf. 10 of them to be exact. I have never seen holders like this before at the store. After little deliberation because they were too cool and meant to be and only 99 cents, I whisked them away in my cart. With some ribbon I found at Michael's for a $1, they match our colors perfectly!!!

Possible Wedding Invitations



Daniel and I were looking at wedding invitations online tonight on the Costco website. It makes it difficult, but we email eachother back and forth, while talking on the phone. That is how we have been planning for some of this wedding. I wish I was there with him, but it works for now! We are getting stuff figured out and done!! Yeah!

Ceremony Site

It is almost official! We are just need to put down a deposit! Just a few more details and decisions and we are official!!!

Going Green Wedding Favors

Now days, it is all about going green. Daniel and I are inspired to use that philosophy for our wedding favors. This (hopefully) will be accomplished by using the wedding favors pictured above. They will come with our names and the date, and the best part, seeds to plant. There are plenty of seed choices too: Forget Me Nots, Lavendar, even Rose seeds. It is very exciting!

My Wedding Rings



Daniel did SUCH a good job picking out my rings!! I had no idea he was getting them, when he bought them or no say as to what they looked like. He did it all himself. All I have to say is WOW, what impeccable taste! Plus, he knew exactly what I would love. My baby knows me well!

Pictures From First Date to Post Engagement And Other Stuff In Between




This picture on the left is from our first date in Phx. (We had one date in Tucson, but no pic from that first date, just memories.) It was taken at South Mountain, where a few months later he proposed.
And the one on the upper right, is post proposal, at Katie's News Years Party. This is where our (brand spanking new) "tradition" of toasting with our 'special' green flutes that are in the pic started. This added with a New Years toast between just the two of us at the stroke of midnight and our"tradition" lasted a whooping 20 minutes before it careened to a devestating crash, which released a million pieces of green fluted glass and Verdi onto Katie's (really nice) tile floor. Thank god I had bought three flutes in my (occasional) wisdom! Katie, I am going to laugh at that the rest of my life! Thanks for the awesome memories!

Party In The Bride's Room!!

Party in the bride's dressing room, ladies! Here is where the wedding party and a few select other amazing chicas, are going to have champange and party it up pre-wedding style! Let the Verdi bubbly-sparkle, baby!

We Have Found The Place!!!!!!!!!!


Like the view? This is the back drop for our wedding!
Yes, we found our place! We just have to now sit down and discuss what date we want and reserve it. But, in order to save money, we are planning on a Thursday. So keep your Thursdays open in the months of Oct or Nov. Don't worry though, we will let everyone know plenty of time in advance!!! :-)
