Wedding Favors!


I have recently received some awesome wedding favors from beau coup! They gave me some really great ideas. I want to have something unique to offer our guests as little gifts. One my favorite ideas are the mini martini shakers. My friends and I are HUGE dirty martini drinkers, so this is right up our alley! This will definitely be a part of my wedding shower! My sister loves the idea too! I like it because this is the kind of gift that will not be going to waste! They also sent me some beautiful blown glass pens which I think this is a great idea to have the guests use to sign in at our wedding. Another more traditional idea is to have your name printed on the mini champagne bottles, which is cute, but there are SO MANY other creative ideas on their website!

Check out the website www.beau-coup.com. They really do an amazing job! You can view the items based on occasion, themes, even season! So many great ideas to chooses from! Thank you so much!

Here we are!





Hey everyone!  My name is Jessica Kaplin and my Fiances name is Joe Hirst.  Here is a picture of us from two years ago.  It's one of my favorites!  Joe proposed Christmas morning '07.  I'll tell that story later, but for now just saying hi!
This is me and my honey Joe!  This was right after I gave a speech at my sisters wedding.  It was great and EVERYONE was in tears!  We have been waiting to plan our wedding until she had hers.  She was waiting over 10 YEARS!!!  So I figured she could go first!  

I have been waiting to plan my wedding until after my sisters, and then I was all ready to get going. Unfortunately my sister recently found out that she has breast cancer. This has put a slight delay on the planning. It is hard to think about wedding stuff right now. Aly is my big sister, and is only 28, and she just got married. The whole situation does not seem fair, but I understand that there are people all over the world dealing with different hardships. We are just taking one day at a time and moving along in the process. And so far we have had some of the best news!

On a more positive note, I have s-l-o-w-l-y begun to look at dresses. This part of the planning is really exciting! I sent an email over to my sister who is my maid of honor. Because of course I need to have her opinion! I will probably go dress shopping with my little sisters, my big sis, and my mom. Picking out a dress really makes me want to get married. Because you can start to picture yourself walking down the isle and dancing with your man in your beautiful dress!

Fortune Cookies!


We are using fortune cookies for our wedding favors. We founf them on the chicblvd website! They sent us some samples and we love them. Not only are they pretty but they taste yummy too! We had the choice of a generic quote to be put in the fortune cookies or write our own thing. We chose to do our own. What a fun, unique idea! They have huge, jumbo ones too!!!

Engagement pics :)


D and I took our engagement pictures last weekend. We had to postpone the session twice due to the rain but it was worth the wait! we had SO muuch fun! We got engaged on a cruise ship, we are getting married on a yacht, so we thought because D is a firefighter we should take them on a fire boat. My step dad (the one who introduced us) is a Captain at Fire station 112's in the San Pedro Harbour. This station has the biggest fire boat in the world. Pretty amazing looking! All the station guys took us on a cruise around the harbour while we took our pictures. Our photographer, Jorge Garcia, is amazing! He is like a ninja! He sneaks up and captures the best moments and you have no idea he is even there. Very cool.. I wanted D to wear his turnouts.. his fire pants, because let's face it.. they are H~O~T!!! ha ha ha my fav! Everything is going to begin getting crazy starting with this week! I have my first shower and then very weekend after that, it is going, going, going until the big day! I could not be more estatic!

Gettin' crazy fun!







SO... I have been bad! I have been so SO~~~ busy! I apologize for lagging on my "blogging!" We have had so many family and friends visiting us from out of town this month! Darin's brother came to visit from Seattle, then the nexy week his Mom came from Seattle.. my Maid of Honor, Molly, flew down from Arizona this past couple of days to help with some "wedding" stuff and this week Darin's Dad is in town from Seattle. So fun but crazy! So Darin's mom, Laura, went with us cake tasting and I think that, besides the prposal, has been my favorite part yet! If they hired people to cake taste as a career.. I AM IN! We went to a place called "Cinderella Cakes." I highly recommend it! We are getting an amazing cake! The top is a mad hatter cake. We like to be a little from the norm! Going to be really fun! Next, we took Momma Laura to the yacht we are getting married on and her jaw dropped :) It is a breath taking sight! We went there for some food tasting which was fun! We brought the whole clan :) Molly then came to town and we were crazy, wedding planning, psycho people for 48 hrs! She brought stuff with her to make these sashes for my bridesmaids (she won't tell me what the Maid of Honors and I are wearing.. a little scared ) she also brought the bridal shower invitations with her. SO CUTE! Nikki and Molly both came over the next night to talk about thngs and do the invitations. I am so lucky to have them! Today, Molly and I went to a storage unit we have and raided it for pics of me growing up. WOW! Some of those pictures I am glad I got to before anyone else... We got some great ones for D's and my slide show! This wedding stuff is a ball! Talk soon!
Love, Kel
