WE'RE MARRIED!

You'd have to be in a deep coma to not know that Steve and I got married on Sunday August 16th at 6pm. It was magical and EXACTLY as I had always dreamed. Steve feels the same. We were surrounded by our closest friends and family and we felt such an outpouring of love and support, to which we're truly grateful!

Honeymoon you ask? Well... we're going to have to wait a few months. Hopefully we can go somewhere in November or December when both of our funds replenish and our jobs settle down a bit. But we're taking a honeymoon at some point, we promise! Most likely to Maui and Kauai. Why do one island when you can do two?

Thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who attended our wedding and who were so generous as well!

NOTE: We received a bottle of Veuve Cliquot champagne with no name on it... we don't know who to thank. If it was you, please let us know!

Engagement photos & General Update!

Hello Everyone!

Steve is home now and its truly the greatest feeling! His return makes those hideous and dreary 7 weeks feel like a distant memory now.

We've gotten even more done with the wedding planning, including:

• addressing our wedding invitations
• ordering address labels with both our names on them
• planning our engagement party
• and even scheduling our engagement photos!

Yes, we're quite proactive!

We're taking our engagement photos this Sunday in Manhattan Beach where we got engaged. I'm hoping the weather isn't similar to the weather we had the night he popped the question. Let's hope for sun and a gorgeous "magic hour" for the pictures. Of course we'll post some on here when we get the proofs.

We'll probably have our invitations in the mail by mid May if not sooner, so be on the lookout!

Finally, we received a gift from Macy's and there was NO CARD citing who gave us the gift. Its a Vera Wang wine bottle holder. Anyone? Please email us or call us if you were the generous and accidentally anonymous one. We love it and we'd love to be able to thank whoever gifted it.

REGISTRY!!! (This was supposed to be fun???)

Really, we have it all. But I suppose we could use some good bone china, and some other grown-up stuff.
We are registered at:

Crate & Barrel http://www.crateandbarrel.com/
Macy's http://www.macys.com


We have a house full of stuff and no where to store it, so if none of these items feel like a gift to you, we will graciously accept cash towards our honeymoon.

Speaking of honeymoon... we REALLY wanted to go to Tahiti, Fiji, or the Caribbean, however due to money and hurricane season we are possibly going in a different direction... the Aloha direction. Right now we're thinking Kauai and possibly Maui. Heck, I'm up for showing Steve around Oahu too. Why not. Any suggestions are welcome!
