Sneak Peeks

So I know it has been awhile but I will make it up we got some sneak peeks







I love them I can't wait for more what do you think?? I love the lighting and I could just go on and on but I will wait.

Blushing Bride

Signature drinks are all over the wedding blogs and I must admit we jumping on the bandwagon too. There is a drink that is always requested that I bring when I go to parties and what better party is there than my wedding. Also this will be a chance to my grandmothers glass punch bowl that has been past down to be used at all the weddings. The drink includes
2 2L of Mountain Dew
2 2L of 7up
2 2L of Sprite
1 bottle of Cranberry juice
1 Bottle of on Everclear

Yes this is a lot and I know it more of a party mix but really I couldn't imagine not having. It creates this pretty pink so the name would be great. Also when I drink I start to plus and I will definately be having some of this.

My mom came to stay with us for a little last week and we did something I had been somewhat dreading; we tried on my wedding dress. Don't get me wrong I love my dress but lets just say I know I have put on some weight since she bought it for me. I had been avoiding it all weekend but I knew I couldn't avoid it longer so decided to put it on and see how bad the damage was. Surprisingly, IT FIT and zipped all the way up!!!! Yay right? Well I said it fit I didn't I could breathe in it. I am not sure how much weight I have gained because I started gaining weight before I the dress was purchased and the fact that I haven't been on a scale in so long. There is a about 5 month to the wedding which gives time to work out. I really don't enjoy exercise but I this is something I have to do since I don't want to pass out on my wedding day so I start on Monday wish me luck!!

Our special recipe

One of the things that Ryan and I have been doing since we started dating is to make salsa together. Both of us are huge addicts, we can sit down and just eat it for a whole meal. I figured this would be another way we can incorporate a little something of us. We don't have our an exact recipe and it changes each time. Unfortuanely the past couple times it has been almost too hot to eat. This is what it looks like before we blend it.


And this is the finished project




I figure we would just can them in small mason jars and put them in all our thank you bags.

Impatient

That is what I am. We took our engagement photos today and I want to see them now. We ended up doing them at Calico Springs but only because Springs Preserve had a wedding today. Our photographers are amazing, the only problem was they wanted me to do a jumping thing but apparently I am so uncoordinated that it just didn't work out. Lets just say we were lucky I didn't knock us both down. I am already stalking his page to see all the stuff even though they will send us a e-mail when its posted. Tick Tock Tick Tock

Engagement photos

Saturday we are taking our engagement photos even though we haven't fully decided on where. Ryan and I are having a little bit of a disagreement and haven't been able to come up with a solution yet. He would like to get our engagement photos done at Springs Preserve which is where we will be getting married. Springs Preserve is a botanical garden which is huge! There will be lots of different place for photos and it is where we are getting married so it has sentamental meaning. Check my earlier post for a picture.

I would like to have it a Calico Springs

Our photographer seems to be leaning towards this one and it is near where we got engaged. There is greenery, desert, a barn, and boardwalks so there will be lots of variation, oh and its pretty. :)

Hopefully tomorrow we can go look at it to see it and maybe I can convince him that its the place. Who knows maybe I won't like and we will decide to go to Springs Preserve. How did you resolve discrepancies with your fiance?

Water water everywhere

So Springs Preserve allows us to drop off water bottles the night before the wedding and they will put them on ice for the ceremony. This is a great idea since the majority of people will not be use to the heat even though it will hopefully be in the 70s. I figure this will be a great way to add some more personal touches. I found these cute labels that we could put on them instead of the normal ones.



I love the nutritional part and instead of the live laugh love part it would be forever and always. They will also be in watermelon and cornflower our wedding colors. I am really excited I will just have to find some way to get really beg labels.
