I think the UPS dude enjoyed bringing over the lovely gifts we got through amazon.com registry.
We also had a blast getting the e-mail updates from our honeymoon registry.
You people rock! Thank you so much!
I drove down to a Riverside studio to do my hair and make-up preview. I found my stylist, Sharon Tabb, through theknot.com. She’s friendly and professional. She told me she also does make-up and hair for MTV programs. I didn’t think I could get my hair up into this lovely sweep of curls, but Sharon’s a miracle worker. I can’t wait to show off some glam on our wedding day 🙂
My Ninang picked out this lovely arrangement for our centerpieces. I love how the candles match our wedding colors.
OK – going through our checklist of “To-Do-Items” for the wedding. Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far and will continue to help for the next 2 weeks and 5 days….yup – that’s how long I have as a single chica before the wedding. eeck!
Last weekend, we checked out our florist in Chino Hills – Buds and Blossoms. Dodi, our wedding florist dude, had a preview bouquet. It looks beautiful! In the car, my honey and I discussed the wedding tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.”
I found an explantion on the knot.com.
An excerpt from theknot.com’s article: “Your Gown: Tracking Tradition”
SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE –
The tradition of the bride wearing something old (for continuity), new (optimism for the future), borrowed (happiness), and blue (fidelity, good fortune, and love) on her wedding day stems from an Old English rhyme. The “something borrowed” comes from the superstition that happiness rubs off, so the bride borrowed something from a happily married woman. “Something blue” comes from the notion that the shade denotes fidelity, purity and love.
Mark said the traditions are “totemic.” But then he said that was more about the family. So he used the word “tailsmanic”. The honey and his anthro background determined this was a better word because it has to do with people and their superstions….for folks who want to ward off evil spirits.
