Wedding Cake

This is the idea for the wedding cake. Mine will be three tiers with a little bit of gold thrown in and the icing will be cream colored cream cheese icing. Delicious right? I am so excited! I think it is funny that I am really not that into flowers but I will more than likely have them on my cake. Hmmm....well i love icing roses!

A great week so far

I flew into Utah a week ago to visit Angela and take care of some of our wedding plans. While our plans were a little hindered by Ang's heavy school load, we managed to to get at least two major things accomplished. As Angela has already written about, with the help of her sister Angela got the wedding dress of her dreams. I know I'm not supposed to see her in it before the wedding, but she couldn't stop herself from stepping out of her room to show me how she looked in it.... and let me tell you, she looks AMAZING.

Another big item we have been able to check off on our list was picking out a photographer. This has been a difficult choice as Angela and I do not want to have the standard wedding photographs that most couples get and were trying to find a photographer with the right eye and creativity that we had in mind. Unfortunately most photographers who fit that bill also cost a lot of $$$$. Luckily, a friend of mine had a friend who recommended Katherine Loveless to me. After looking over her photos, I was praying that her costs would at least be below $2500, to my utter surprise, she was well below that, and was actually less expensive than most other photographers we had seen. On Thursday, we drove out to Mapleton to meet Katherine and left VERY excited to have her as our photographer. Driving back to Provo afterwards, Ang and I both commented to eachother about how much of a weight it felt like had just been taken of our shoulders.

Beyond those things, our week included picking out a family friend to help make our cake; single-handedly mixing, wrapping, and cooking five dozen gyozas for Ang while she studied; all you can eat animal flesh at Tuscanos with a couple of friends; sneaking in to see Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx;  post-poning a bunch of other wedding demands until I return in a month; a delicious puu-puu platter; and a lot of cuddling.

I'm not looking forward to returning to California in a couple days to slave away at my own studies before my semester ends.

Wedding Dress FOUND!

Remember when I was having "wedding dress blues", well my sister Camilla found my dream dress on E-bay and bid on it for me. I told her not to worry too much about it, as I had found another dress. Well, today I got a package from some unknown person. Camilla got the dress for me! It fits PERFECTLY! It is about 90% ready to wear. It needs to be brought up just a litte in the front and a bit of fabric added under the armpits, but other than that it is perfect! I love it so much! I wish I would have recorded myself because I was jumping all over the house! hahahaha! It is so true that having the perfect dress makes all the difference in the world!

Bridesmaids Bouquet

I put together this bouquet for my bridesmaids. This is the rough draft. My sister Candida will put the rest of them together. I purchased everything at Micheal's. The flowers are pinecones! and then dried baby's breath and some cute little dried plant.

My First Dress

Months ago as I was searching for my wedding dress I saw one on the Dillards website. I wasn't sure about it, but ordered it anyway. I was getting so excited to open it! This is a recording of me opening my first dress...

As you can tell I was not excited about the dress, but I continued to debate whether or not to keep it. I knew I did not want the dress after I found Loyd's tie. His tie is AMAZING! When I saw how the dress clashed with the tie I absolutely knew I had to keep looking for a dress because I wasn't about to return Loyd's tie.

Marriage preparation

Every day I make a conscientious effort to put both the seat and the lid of the toilet down after using it.
