Of Doves & Cookies

Last January, on my way back home from the Philippines I stopped over in Tokyo for a couple days. I met up with a friend of mine who used to live in NYC and she ended up giving me what seems to be Mae and I's first engagement/wedding gift:


ahhh doves I get it..


Cookies! (don't mind the KitKats..although those are good also)
So cute!

I waited til I saw Mae again so we both could try them. Tasty!

Thanks again Yuko!

Emo No More.

Sunshiney out and a whole bunch more stuff checked off my list, I can't be emo anymore.

Since I'm wearing flats (hell no am I wearing heels all day and all night!), the question is... to colour or not to colour? I'm thinking purple peep toe flats. What y'all think?

The emo-ness of this blog is uncharacteristic.

** Please disregard all of the emo-ness of this blog, it's been 24 hours since he left and the little phase I go through every time hasn't worn off yet. **

Alicia Keys - Love is a Disease. This is my jaaaaaam.

Seriously.
The way I feel is like how a little kid has their candy taken away. And trust me, this kid is super fat and loves candy. Now, fast forward 20 years, and instead of candy, it's my fiance that's taken away. THAT is the kind of crappy I'm feeling. That kid LOVES candy.

The reason why I know I want to marry this guy, other than the fact that he has the coolest dog in the world (yeah, my priorities ARE in the right places) is because of the feeling when we get to the airport and we have to say bye. That feeling of not being able to live life properly without the other one there. My heart falls to my knees as he gives me one last hug, as he tries to say the right words to make me feel better, yet it just makes me feel worse because I won't be hearing that voice anymore, and I'm trying to soak up the sight of him before he walks away. My heart finally hits the floor as he walks away... and turns for one last look, one last glance. It's that look that kills me.

I'm going to go eat some candy now.

9 and a little bit more hours...

Until Ryan finally arrives in Vancouver. It's been a few months since I last saw him and I'm pretty excited.

Unless that is off setted by the rising feeling of doom creeping up my stomach. Why? This is the first visit after we got engaged, and this will be the first time we will seriously sit down and have a real full conversation about wedding planning. Yikes.

I wonder if he'll be down for eloping.

To hyphenate or not to hyphenate?

That is the question.

Lawson-Castro? Or Castro?

Groomsmen

For the groomsmen, I don't feel I have half as much of a problem. They're all pretty laid back, so my main concern is just getting them to show up for fittings. haha. I think we're definitely buying suits out right rather than renting tuxes. Suits in general have become so cheap from a wide variety of sources that it just makes more sense to me. Even if you factor in the price of tailoring, its still not bad at all.

also..I never knew J.Crew had an entire Wedding Section ?

Bridesmaids

If someone can show me the right direction to do this, I'd super appreciate it. Doesn't help that all of my bridesmaids have 7438190783912689 different styles and trying to accommodate them all isn't going to be very easy. Maybe I can make our wedding rainbow coloured so that they can wear whatever they want. Hmmm...
