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

My two Maid of Honors went with my Mom and I to do my final fitting for my dress (Jinny's Bridal in Huntington Beach) and to try on their dresses! My Friend Molly flew down form Arizona to be with me! I have known her seince birth.... Our friendship started in the crib as she says :) My friend Nikki I met in Pre~school at age 4! Tight ever since! I have been through so much with these girls and I absolutely ADORE them and I am so happy that they will be standiing by our side! (I have 10 brides maids and my Mom is my Matron of Honor!) The colors I chose for them are Fuschia pink and black. Their dresses are a Marilyn Monroe style dress... the one where the air is blowing her dress up :) SUPER cute and the flowers they will have are going to be fuschia. We has SO much fun trying on dresses... I could not help but feel like a princess when I put my dress on!
Hope everyone's Christmas was beautiful! Ciao for now
