Honeymoon

Since we are at a slight pause in Wedding Planning, what better time to research destinations for our honeymoon!!!??

I want it to be perfect. I want a private villa. And a private pool. And lots of relaxing. And sun. And a butler. And maybe some surfing. Or kayaking. And also, if we could go skiing too, that would be great.

Any suggestions??

I like this one.

Are you Kidding Me??

Lately, I have been obssesed with Wedding Blogs...and really anything wedding. A few of my favorites: greenweddingshoes.com; stylemepretty.com; brooklynbride.com (really I could go on & on!) And yes, I also watch those cheesy TLC shows. Say Yes to the Dress; Rich Bride/Poor Bride; Platinum Weddings (actually that one is kind of depressing...$65,000 flower budget...for real??).

Every once and a while I come across some, shall we say..."interesting"...posts. Thought I would share this one with you. And it's not a joke. Scary!

E-shoot!

Nav & I finally had our engagement photos taken yesterday by the EVER so fabulous Kella MacPhee!

We couldn't be happier that she is shooting our wedding. Some of you might know of her from Ryan & Lauren's wedding. We absolutely fell in love with her work after seeing the photos she had taken with them.

After over 700 photos, lots of fun, and some cold red noses...the results are here: Mandy and Nav eshoot

We're baaaacccccck!

Greetings! Sorry for the delay in posts, we have been in Ireland celebrating the New Year! And Nav's mothers birthday, and Nav's sister's birthday, and Nav's sister's fiance's birthday! (Does that all make sense?)

We had a great time. It was my first time in Ireland, and great to be able to see where Nav grew up & meet his many Aunts / Uncles / Cousins / Friends. Besides the cold weather & a brief 24 hour stomach flu for both of us - or food posioning (thanks Abrakababra), we had a great (semi) relaxing holiday.

Thanks everyone for the fabulous hospitality, we will see you all again in August for Shy & Mac's Wedding!

Merry Christmas!!

Best. Weekend. Ever.

Well, the weekend Nav proposed is actually the best weekend ever, but last weekend is coming in as a close second!

My Mom, sister & Aunt all came in last weekend to assist in the Great Wedding Dress Hunt. And we had an ABSOLUTE blast. Lauren & Ryan accompanied us as well. We hit 5 different wedding salons, and after I tried on ohhhh.....say.....30 different dresses......we found THE ONE!!!

But Shhhhh.....it's a secret!

In addition to the wedding dress hunt, we got to do other fun things as well; Lunch with John Leguisamo at Veselka, Rockefellar Christmas Tree (about 3 times); drinks at Campbell Apartment; lobster at the Grand Central Oyster Bar; Rockettes!

Thank you SO much to Mom, Aunt Nancy, Kimmy, Lauren & you too Ryan. I had such a fun weekend!
