We definitely had no idea what we were in for when we sent in our RSVP for an old family friend’s wedding. The ceremony was at Epiphany Church and was standing room only. We discovered there were 1200 guests and 17 buses to shuttle us all from the church to the cocktail and reception venues, which were the most glorious houses I’ve ever seen in my life. Holy hell. We were greeted by Asian drummers, trays and trays of champagne, cirque de soliel type dancers and performers, an ice bar literally made of ice serving all kinds of shots and martinis and about 10 different food stations throughout the premises. Now that was an event. I wish pictures could do it justice, but they really couldn’t. Regardless, you can check out the set on my Flickr here. Congratulations to the lovely bride and groom!

{No weekend highlights today as I spent it all attempting to recover from the cold that just won’t quit}

It’s no secret to anyone that I’d love to be an event planner and my absolute favorite are weddings. Ever since I planned my own, the seed was planted and it only continues to grow. One day, when I find the guts I will actually give it a go (cue 2010 wish to find something that makes you happy), but for now I settle on searching through multitudes of wedding blogs and fantasizing on the amazing ones I could create.

One trend that recently caught my eye is that of the short wedding dress.
I’ve always loved it, but didn’t really let the thought linger while shopping for my own wedding dress. After seeing all these photos, I really wish I would have! So cute and whimsical!

meliaugi-26Two years ago, I was getting married to my best friend, my true love, my everything. It was by far the most amazing day of my life and if I could, I would choose to groundhog-day-it over and over again. Thankfully, those strong feelings of warmth and love I experienced the day of have not yet subsided two years later.

I am extremely lucky to be married to a person that loves me for who I am, faults and all. Someone that knows me better than I know myself. Someone that would sacrifice their own happiness for mine. He is the person I trust. The person that makes me feel safe. The person that can truly make me smile, inside and out.

Happy anniversary, my love. I am truly the luckiest wifey.

sat01I was able to rest up enough to doll myself up for my cousin’s wedding on Saturday night. I wanted to make sure I didn’t look as terrible as I felt, so I got my trusty hairdresser to make me look pretty. I wanted a simple updo, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know how to do it if it isn’t fierce. So I got myself a pretty rockin’ do to go along with my awesome dress (it had pockets!). Thankfully, I started feeling better as the day progressed and by the time the wedding rolled around, no one could tell that I had been on my death bed for several days. Ten points for Meli! The wedding was gorgeous and my cousin made a beautiful bride. The reception was at the Epic Hotel, which totally lives up to its name. Her cocktail hour took place on the pool level, which boasted a stunning view of Downtown Miami. But my favorite part of the wedding? The photobooth sitting outside of the reception!!! I am completely obsessed with photobooths so having one I can play with for free made me feel like a little kid in a candy shop! The hubs and I were even brainstorming on how to make our own! How bad ass would it be to have one in our home?? Amazing, me thinks.
