Our Wedding!! July 19, 2008

Most people/friends looked at me funny when they found out how in advance I started to plan my wedding...but any good organized planner knows, you start WAY ahead of time. That's how you perfect your event!! It was quite a bit of work, research, and some yelling at my mom and fiance but I planned and revealed the wedding of my dreams! Now let me tell you, I was never one that was really interested in having a huge wedding or getting all picky about flowers. In fact we were supposed to go away, but after that changed I figured, if I'm going to plan a wedding here, I might as well do it RIGHT! I wanted something outdoor! Outdoor weddings and tent receptions are quite popular amongst many couples today especially celebs! I didn't want the typical hall wedding and ceremony...I wanted something different.

Another advise that a good planner will give you is have entertainment. As exciting as weddings may sound...well they can get boring at times. Especially with long speeches! So I decided to throw in some dancers! We had it all, the full 9 yards! A horse and carriage, white doves, a steel pan, slide show, Caribbean dancers, a belly dancer and of course my husband I did a salsa dance!! Overall I was quite happy with the turn out and man was I happy when it was all over!

Oh and one more thing, try not to tell the whole world about all the details of your wedding, leave some for a nice surprise!

Thanks to Mo from Mango Studios who took these wonderful photos!

My handsome hubby!

Moi!
Abby was so good, even when the flies were getting in her face!! Abby Lane Horse & Carriage.


I absolutely loved these dresses, thanks Bari Jay!

When it came to flowers I really wanted a modern look, so instead of choosing the typical flower arrangements, I decided to go with a flower ball in a glass vase instead! My mom's good friend Afsoneh arranged all the flowers for me!!!!!


So I had to search high and low for a dress for our salsa dance and there were no white dresses that were salsaish around!! So I found this cute dress on Queen West at Fashion Crimes! And after trying to dance in heels and killing my toes, I decided to get ballet shoes!
