But if you're lucky... there is Dancing, Too!

... and Eat It!

You can have your Cake

I am my Beloved's & my Beloved is Mine

Ok... The blog was a bit of a failure, but the Wedding was a success! I think this only legitimizes my blograstination. Just imagine: If I spent just one extra minute blogging about the details, I would have missed something that enhanced the day.


It was a long way to get to September 20th, but the goals were met. I truly felt everyone had a great time. Even the coordinator at Blue Hill was impressed. Just to capture the essence of the day, I will share some of the wonderful comments I received:

"... this is by far the classiest wedding, I have ever been to... "

"... this is what I dream my wedding to be..."

"...i haven't stopped smiling all day..."

"... it just keeps getting better and better..."

"... taste level is through the roof ..."

"...your eye for detail is amazing..."

- and my personal favorite -

"... you are such a chic bride ..."

I really enjoyed every minute of this wonderful day. It began when I saw my ladies finely dressed and coifed by Stacy Pitt. We had flawless makeup by Michelle Larner. Seeing Jose get choked up during the ceremony.... who knew he was so emotional!

I kid... but seriously... who knew.

Seeing my old friends watching us take photographs from the courtyard.

THE FOOD... pictures will be shared. Elegant presentation and incredibly fresh flavor. My mom ate tomatoes and zucchini. That's how you know the food was phenomenal.

The Casbah Trio complemented the event so well. They were so cool. Check them out at BOOM, Friday Nights.

Anyway... the photos speak for themselves... Jordan Van Aken is a true visionary and I think our partnership will result in amazing portraits.

Thank you all for coming and most importantly, for enjoying. Really made the madness worthwhile.

Sneak Peeks + Praise

Those lucky few receiving invitations will be receiving a little bit of our blood, sweat, and tears.... LITERALLY. I really wanted to utilize everyone's talents around me and what made this experience truly meaningful (and stressful) is incorporating everyone's input and expertise.

Here is a small moment to acknowledge everyone's contribution:

Dad/Nana- Without their generousity this would NOT be possible AT ALL.

Mother- Honey-pouring, Message-relaying, Alteration Master, Fabric Cutter, Invitation Assembler... Seriously there is NOTHING she won't do for me.

Anna- When it comes to graphics, we are interchangeable! But ultimately, when I am down she knows a steamy vanilla custard will cheer me up.

Annie- Anybody that takes me every phone call is a true friend. She has a 99% attendance record and more loyal than a lobster.

Katherine- She man's the printers and buys me honey.
... last but not least...
Jose, my loving and dedicated fiance, without your continued patience and love, we would not be here. Thanks for supporting me and constantly trying to be out of the box. You inspire me.

... But really that's my point...
you and so many others have inspired this wedding.

Save the Date

Now that the Save-The-Dates have been mailed, I won't be ruining the surprise when I show off my hardwork below. I used a great letterpress printer in Brooklyn, Coeur Noir, reccommended by "A Farm Fresh Wedding."
