Rings, Scratches, and Cards

So we spent the weekend doing wedding stuff and my ring was in so we went and picked it up ... whoa ...

I put it on and immediately began to shake it off (if you didn't know I have an issue with jewelry) so I decided to wear it for awhile to try and get used to it. We also found out that every finger on my left hand was the same size (14) ... except the pinky, thumb included though.

I got used to it for awhile, but I did manage to scratch it up a bit. Anyone who knows me should expect nothing less. Mimi always calls me a 'bull in a china shop' so this should have been of no surprise to Julia, but she was a bit upset.

We also got our save the date cards taken care of. 4 months to go and we are on track =)

The wedding bells are coming .. yes it must be getting close

Well if anything puts a wedding in perspective it's rings. Julia and I were out looking for rings the other day mostly for her eternity band, but luck would have it found mine instead ... lucky for me I didn't have to come off the $ for her other one yet that is =)

Turns out I am pretty simple and the titanium band is pretty non invasive (for those who don't know me I hate having things on my including jewelery, watches, etc)


... its in and I am excited

Sentimental Stuff!

Yes, I can be sentimental and caring, and just to show how far that goes we have been frantically searching for ways to include those who mean so much to me, but are no longer with us, in the wedding! David and Papa.

Well luck would have it that David was the ring bearer in my Aunt Faye's wedding and low and behold she still has the pillow, which will also carry our rings also.

Finding Papa in the wedding may be an easy spot for some who are close to the family, but for others you may wonder why there is a 1940's wedding cake topper with a man in a Navy Uniform, well that's because its Papa and Mimi's wedding cake topper and he was a Navy Pilot.

I thought it was the perfect way to bring them along for the ride and will make the day all the more special for Julia and I.

Stop and Smell the Dahlias and Ranunculus ...

No roses here!

Isn't Chase Rivers at Eye Design Floral a smartie pants? These are just exactly the kind of look I was going for.
