It's a weird weird world...

SO, I was just minding my own business doing my daily wedding stalking....and guess what I found?  A wedding shot by the amazing w.scott chester

at OUR VENUE!

The crazy thing is once I started reading more about the couple I realized that they did their engagement session at Paris On Ponce, which is a Parisian themed venue.  AND, the blurb I read said they had a very Parisian and romantic proposal....sound familiar??

Here is their engagement session...

aaaaaaaaaaaand here is our amazing venue...

I love this shot, and have saved it to show our wonderful photographer

Ok, I'm so excited about this shot.  See those shepherd staffs flanking the aisles?  Well, we are using those to do the flowers in mason jars idea I blogged about here 

GORGEOUS!!  

I cannot believe Vince and I will be standing there in 274 days!!!

A little first dance action, love the lighting...

This is the standard exit done at Neverland, and I couldn't be happier. 

Finding these pictures just gave me a great start to my weekend!  Hope you all have a great one too lovelies!!

Shoes...invitations...photographers...OH MY!!

I am proud to announce to anyone who will listen...

We are hiring the most INCREDIBLE photographers in the ENTIRE world!  Below is David Banks and Kendrick Brinson.  They work for Our Labor of Love, and have agreed to be our photographers!  I am beyond excited about working with them because I truly believe they are the most talented photographers I've ever seen.  YAY!

This is an invitation sample that I am really digging.  It's from minted.com and I'm just loving the simplicity of it.  I'm sure Heather will be able to help us come up with something beautiful and simple like this one...

And now for the biggest worry I have had yet.  Shoes.  You see, here's the thing...

I'm not a big shoes girl...(pause for gasps...)

I'm just not!  When walking around our venue-I knew I would not be wearing heels on my wedding day.  The venue is so casual and outdoorsy and there will be a bit of walking on cobblestones and grass etc.  I want to be COMFORTABLE!  My original thought was to wear cowboy boots because of this shot 

found here via here

However, I'm not exactly a cowboy boot kinda girl either.  

I am a THIS shoe kinda girl.

And it's sold out.  

Of course it is.  

Things going on with me...

This has been such a crazy week!  I have been (for the first time in my life) incredibly diligent with my workouts and eating super healthy.  Let me tell you something friends-it is WORTH IT!  I feel amazzzzzzzzzzzzzing.  I pop out of bed in the morning.  I skip up stairs, and I'm not hungry!  I eat when I feel hungry, but my body isn't craving crap anymore.  I feel so good, and I'm so motivated after my 3 pound loss this week.  I can't wait until next Wednesday and I hope to see some more numbers drop!

-My favorite low point meal this week?  Chicken breasts in the crockpot covered in salsa and then served with black beans, cilantro, cumin and a little fat free sour cream.  DELICIOUS!

So other than totally changing my lifestyle-I have been working on my research paper that I need to graduate with my bachelors.  It's a long story, but I have been out of college for 2 years and only had one class to finish in order to graduate.  I had almost given up on ever doing it, but with a push from my parents and Vince, I reenrolled, and I'm almost finished!  I'm doing my research on stay at home mothers and their happiness with their life.  I might be asking you readers to help me so stay tuned....

I have ALSO been working with the oh-so-wonderful Heather over at we met in a bar.  She is making our save the dates for us, and I am so excited with what she has come up with already.  If anyone is in the market for invitations-she is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to work with.  

My mom and I finalized our guest list last night, and I feel really good about it.  We were fairly cut throat about who we wanted to be there.  I am confident that we will succeed in our desire to be surrounded by our closest family and friends.  Not strangers.

Now I leave you with some images that have made me SO happy this week:

These necklaces for my bridesmaids:

The idea of having a "tie tree" where guys can hang their ties at the reception.  The sign will read, "fellas, loosen up that tie and RELAX!"

This image from tying the knot.  She has totally sold me on the idea of matching socks for the boys.

This image again from tying the knot.  I just adore it.

And this just makes me smile.  (not sure where I found it)

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, LOVELIES!
