some inspiration...

this is our inspiration board for the wedding. the feel will be simple, colorful, crafted, and plain beautiful. invitations, centerpieces, programs, etc will be designed by me so i hope they come out great. i really really think i can pull it off. i love being creative and i like getting what i want...creativity/design wise ...although i'm sure tony would beg to differ.

color combination...

choosing a favorite color is like choosing a favorite child. when it comes down to it, it's impossible to narrow down. we are both very creative people and both have a thing for color and here are a few we agreed on: lovely plum, magenta, light pink, light blue, aqua, and gold. it's a lot, yes. but seriously. we haven't narrowed down specifics, but these are the colors we're leaning toward. the blues and gold will mostly be accent colors.

a little token of affection...

i'm not much of a ring girl but i'll make an exception in this case!

we found a lovely two diamond bezel ring around a lovely green emerald from designer sarah perlis. emerald symbolizes hope and faith and to add more meaning, tony's april birthstone is diamond and his taurus birthstone is emerald!!! i love me some meaning. this lovely beauty is timeless and beautiful.

this will proabably be the only ring i wear, along with my wedding ring. but when i don't have it on, something feels off. and i hate to sound corny, but i think of tony every time i see it...and how shiny is sparkles!!! :)

the question popped...

friday, october 3rd, 2008 was the day. it was the day tony would premiere our california vacation video that he and a friend had been working on for 2 months. i remember being so anxious while at work during the day. all i could think about was that the weekend was finally here and i get to finally watch the much hyped up vacation video. as soon as i got to tony's place i noticed he was nervous. he said he hyped up the video so much that he hoped it met the expectations. well, the video was amazing. tony and jonny did such a great job. but what i didn't know was that the version we were watching was a "special edition"...this edition had a surprise at the end: a proposal! now i know why he was nervous. and of course, i accepted!
