A Wedding PARTTTAY

If you know me, I love cards so when I made up my mind who I wanted to be in my bridal party, I decided I'd have to ask in an inventive and creative way, which in my mind translated to making a card.  I also didn't want anyone to reject my invite to be part of my bridal party. So, of course, I made it easy and gave them only two options.  What a shock, they all accepted! 

I'm quite proud of this card in fact.  Love the colors and the verbiage=) AND...just in case you're wondering, I'm no procrastinator, so I sent this card out early on in the planning process, not this week.

PICTURES

Here's a quick picture taken by the one and only Julia Tam. She's our flower girl and one of the only people (children) we've found capable of taking good pictures of Kevin and I. Actually, all our best pictures together are taken by this four, I mean four and a half year old. (I could've gotten in so much trouble for that!)

Kevin and I did have a photo shoot a few weeks ago where we took "engagement pictures." We are quite sophisticated.=)  Those are on the way...

Oh How Things Work Out

Freak out time, it's less than a month until the wedding!!

Quite the contrary (PRAISE THE LORD!) because while things are moving a little quicker, everything, even the small itsy bitsy details are working out.   

A few months back when I was making the wedding invitations, I actually messed them up and printed all of the invites with the wording about an inch off.  It didn't look horrible, and most people said (at least in the back of their minds), what's the big deal?  While I tried to let others console me, I have to say, when it comes to designing something, an inch makes all the difference.   So I decided to reprint them and thanks to Kinkos of Rockville, I reprinted the invites at no extra cost and even got to keep the cardstock from the misprints.  GOOD DEAL!

As a daughter of a true environmentalist, I couldn't put that cardstock to waste! So I saved all 200 invitations.  Well they've been sitting queitly in this white envelope for a few months, but just the other day I was contemplating how I could make table cards for the reception without having to buy anything and what do you know?  It came across my mind to take the cardstock from my misprints to make table cards.  AMAZING idea. Not only is the paper already cut to size, all I had to do was fold them in half!  While I know many of you must be holding onto the edge of your seats dying to see these tablecards, I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait.   The wedding is only about 3 weeks away.=)

Miss you!

Today is June 15th, three days before a month to Kevin and my wedding.  A bittersweeeet time...I'm so excited to be married to Kevin and ready for this next step in our relationship, yet I know moving out permanently will be a big transition.  I went with my grandma out and about today. I figured she needs to get out of the house sometimes and so we went to the mechanic, Michaels, AC Moore, and CVS to finish some errands.  A lot of my day is spent with her, and when i hang out with my grandma, I have to say, i enjoy it just as much if not more than hanging out with peers of mine.  If it was possible, maybe I should have made her a bridesmaid. After all, we are tight. 

The two little kiddies that I live with are quite cute as well and what can say? Although I don't enjoy waking up to a stampede every morning and wailing and "MOMMMY" tantrums at 7am in the morning, it's an even tradeoff since these kids are way too cute.  Here's the photoshoot my supposed-to-be-in-bed nephew just took with me.  Yes, check out Kevin and my ever so cute ring bearer.  

Thank you.. ummmm...

Today we got the biggest package from Amazon and after opening it to find a breadmachine, Kevin and I pretty much dived into the box trying to find some slip of paper to let us know who gave it to us.  Isn't that sad? Someone gave us such a nice and thoughtful gift, yet we have no idea who gave it to us.  Well if anyone knows, please let us know.  The reward will be a loaf of freshbread=).

Almost one month until the wedding and things are going pretty well. I feel really really blessed because every step of the planning has ended up going so smoothly.  I feel like everyone's gifts are totally being utilized and the people who are helping us in all aspects are so talented and loving in how they are sharing their gifts with us. Just took engagement pictures this weekend at Great Falls.  Our photographer is Dan Wong, a newbie to CP church, but a good new friend of Kevin and mine. We spent almost 4 hours at Great Falls this weekend and even intended taking pictures at the same log where Kevin proposed to me.  The sad part of the story is we hiked probably over a mile to the log only to realize it is no longer there!!  OH MY goodness... I was supposed to show my children that log.  Now the only people who have seen it are Mike Huang, Mark Lai, and Joey Sung. Lucky guys I tell you.
