Winner!!!

I won!!! I rarely enter contests, but for some odd reason I entered & won!

I had to submit a creative element that I am incorporating into my wedding. Apparently they liked my idea! I'm sure you are all wondering what 'creative detail' we have planned, but you will just have to wait & see. In the meantime, Eventus will be supplying me with my bridal bouquet for winning the contest. I know it's not much, but I will take it!

Thank you Eventus! I can't wait to see what they will come up with.

Jamie Cullum

Nav turned me on to Jamie Cullum a while ago, and I have been in love with his music ever since. I had tickets to his show last night at Town Hall, so Molly & I went to see him. He's a jazz artist and can play the piano like you wouldn't believe. The enegry was amazing, what a great show. Everyone needs to go buy his stuff now. And thank you Nav for the introduction.

In other news....my blender exploded on me last night while I was making my last smoothie. The Cleanse is off to a rough start, but I'm holding steady. I'll keep you posted.

Love,

Mandy

Fabulous 2009 Weddings

As most of you know, both my sister Kim & brother Ryan got married last year to two of the most AMAZING people. I'm so lucky to be able to call Greg & Lauren family now.

Both weddings were absolutely amazing. If our wedding is even close to as perfect as both of theirs were, I will be one happy girl!

And because both of their weddings were so fab, they have both been featured in recent publications.

Check them out!

Ryan & Lauren - Cape May, NJ - 10/3/09

Kimmy & Greg - Chicago, IL - 6/20/09

Love you guys...and thanks for the great memories.

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
