my hot, bridal shoes =)

So with only 9 days to go before my big day --- I really shouldn't be blogging, as there are a million other wedding stuff that I really need to be working on... Ok, not a million --- but enough to keep me a bit stressed... there's just not enough time in the day!

I have been dying to share wedding details with you... but of course, I have to wait to reveal all until after the wedding... on Monday, I stopped mid-cleaning to take some detail shots of my bridal shoes... the light coming through the french doors was very alluring, and I just had to stop cleaning-- and capture something with this beautiful lighting... so, I did... and I really wanted to share it with you!

Here are my wedding shoes that I absolutely love... they're elegant, sexy, comfortable, and affordable! I found these on zappos.com, and got a really great deal! It was free shipping... & if I needed to return them, they pay for the shipping... can't beat that =)












can't wait to rock these out next week when we say I do =)

My Valentine's Weekend...

One reason I love Dave, is his way of surprising me... when it comes to gift giving (which he is incredibly good at) --- I never know what he's up to... this Valentine's & our engagement anniversary, he brought me to tears with his gifts... on top of taking me on a weekend getaway to Loews Royal Pacific Resort to relive our trip to Universal Studios last year when he proposed to me...



he also gifted me some of my favorite things =)



tulips, Riesling, Godiva chocolate, and Tiffany's =) I cried...



this necklace especially touched me... Dave gifted me this exact same necklace on our one year anniversary... but last year when our house was broken into, this was one of the items stolen... it was very sad that so many memories and priceless items were stolen away from us... but here's to new memories... and to new beginnings...



there's something about Tulips... how delicate, dainty, and simple they are... that make me love them so much... almost as much as I love Dave...



I can't believe it was a year ago that Dave gifted me this ring... his love... his promise to be my loving, husband... to marry me...



how time flies... in 12 short days... we'll be husband & wife =)



thank you, Dave, for loving me and spoiling me the way you do... I feel incredibly lucky to be with you... with love... always... ~me

16 Days Away...

from matrimonial bliss =) this weekend, the 13th of February will be our engagement anniversary [exactly 2 weeks away until our wedding]... to celebrate, Dave just told me we're going to do the same thing we did last year when he proposed... head up to our favorite amusement park -- Universal Studios! Weeeeeee!

Dave proposed to me Friday the 13th last year... which I love, because now I have no fear or qualms about Friday the 13th =) Now it's deemed as a happy day... he popped the question right before we left for Orlando to spend Valentine's weekend at Universal... with all the excitement and tears --- I completely forgot to grab the camera... so I told Dave we needed to buy one of the ride pictures to commemorate a very special weekend... so, we got one from one of our favorite rides: The Incredible Hulk! I flashed my ring just for the camera =)




and one year and two weeks later, on February 27th... these will be the rings we don =)



can't wait to share more wedding details... until next time, I hope you have a delightfully, lovely Valentine's weekend... filled with hugs, kisses, and chocolates... and all things love =) xo
