We're Married!!!!!

Rob and I are officially married!
We could not have asked for a better day. Friday night me, my mom, my nieces, Kat, Courtney and Michelle stayed over at the Holiday Inn in Rockland. We hung out and ate dinner at the hotel and just relaxed before all the craziness of Saturday!
I barely slept Friday night and started the day bright and early on Saturday with hair and make-up.
I have to say I stayed pretty calm all day. Rob and I saw eachother before the ceremony and did all our pics before the wedding.
I only have 1 pro pic but here are some other pictures that people took at the wedding!

Everything was perfect and we had the best day!
We leave Friday for our amazing honeymoon.. so I will have plenty to share when we get back!

As The Wedding Approaches

Well with only 18 days left until the wedding I have a couple of things to blog about!

A few weeks ago we did a "Pre-Wedding" Photoshoot with our awesome photographer John LoConte.
I put most of these pics on facebook but decided to share a few on the blog as well. We met John on a Wednesday evening up at Lynch Park in Beverly, MA. It was definitely a warm summer day but the location was beautiful with a gorgeous rose garden for a back drop or the nice beach to take some pics on.
John has been so great to work with. Obviously Rob and I were nervous and had no idea what we were doing but John was great about giving us direction and taking some great pics! Below are a few of my faves from the day...







Next thing is obviously some wedding projects I am working on. I can't believe how quickly time is flying and I still have a few DIY projects to get done.
Today I worked on some signs we need.
The sign on the far left of the photo is for our Wedding Tree... Just asked guests to leave a fingerprint and sign their name. I think the sign came out cute.
The middle one is for the bathroom basket... it has a really cute poem on it that reads...

So happy you're here sharing our special day
but just in case something should go astray:Please help yourself to the contents within
Mouthwash, hand lotion or ibuprofen
Use what you need, and just leave the rest
For it may be useful to some other guest
Repair the damage that may have been done
Then quick! Hurry back and join in the fun!

(I found the poem by googling)

Finally the sign on the right is for our Photo Booth... To remind guests to use it and take lots of pictures. I plan on putting the photo booth signs at the bar and in the restrooms.
I used a few of our "pre-wedding" pics on this sign and made a little photostrip at the top of the sign. I think it came out really good and it was a fun way to incorporate the photos.


So with that project done I only have a few more things to do!
As I get the projects done I will be sure to share them with you all!

Bachelorette Party of the Year!

This past weekend was my Bachelorette Party!
The festivities took place in Provincetown and everything was very well planned and executed by my awesome Bridal Party!

The day started at 7am on Saturday morning with a nice drive to P-town. Once we arrived we spent the morning on the Beach relaxing and soaking up some rays.
We later enjoyed lunch at the hotel and some adult beverages to kick things off right!

The night could not have been more perfect! Two of my fav things are Gay Men and Drag Queens.... and P-town has more then there Fair share of both!

We started out at the boatslip on Commercial street mingling with all the boys and drinking the most delicious cocktails ever! We then had a yummy dinner which lead to some impromptu Karaoke and then a Drag Show! (So much fun!)

We ended the night dancing our butts off at the Crown & Anchor until last call and then headed back to the hotel for some snacks and sleep!

The night could not have been more fun! I had such a blast!

Sunday morning... Me and a few of the girls went out for breakfast and shopping and then headed home.

Here are a few pics from the weekend (these are the G rated ones! LOL)


Thank you to Becky, Michelle, Courtney & Niki for organizing things and making it all happen
and Kelly, Angie and Allison for joining in and celebrating with us! Love you Girls!!!!!!

Marriage License... Check!

Rob and I went to apply for our marriage license tonight. In Dedham you have to make an appointment and apparently they are pretty strict about that since it is the first thing the woman asked.
So our appointment was at 6pm... we got there a little early and went inside to get the ball rolling. The whole process is totally easy. 3 forms, show ID, raise your right hand and swear that you told the truth and TA-DA you are done!

I get to go pick up the license on Monday.. that is if I survive my Bachelorette party this weekend! ;)

Below is a pic of Rob at the town clerk office after we finished all our forms! YAY!

doesn't he look so happy to be marrying me? lol

In other quick news and updates... Got my new phone today! The Droid X... I think I'm in love with it. I also have another dress fitting on Monday and I am bringing Ma Dukes so she can tell me how everything looks and we are officially going to be married in less then a month!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow how times flies! TTFN!

Sweet Treats

Saturday, Rob and I attended a BBQ at Sara & Greg's apartment. I wanted to make a sweet little treat to bring along and found this Scrumptious recipe in a cookbook we received at our shower (Thanks Liz!).

I am calling them S'more pops. I forget the actual name in the cookbook but anyways...
These are the ingredients you need.

Popsicle Sticks or Kabob Skewers cut in half
1 Bag of Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
1 Container of Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy Milk Chocolate Frosting
Mini Morsel Chocolate Chips (about 1 cup)
Graham cracker crumbs (about 1 cup)

So you put a skewer or stick through each Marshmallow as you see below...


Next I set up a plate with the Graham Cracker crumbs and the mini morsels. I also heated up the frosting for about 30 seconds so it was super soft and easy to dip in. It was my own like assembly line!

So you dip each marshmallow into the frosting, let the excess drip off. Then you cover the bottom and one side of the marshmallow in the Graham crack crumbs and the other side in the mini morsels and Wah-la!

You can eat them immediately or refrigerate them. If you are not going to eat immediately do not leave out at room temp because you need the frosting to firm up or it will all run off the marshmallow.

These were a huge hit and I can't wait to make them for the next BBQ or Party we are invited to!

New Wedding Items!

Yup, so I have been neglecting my blog since last week! However, it was a very busy weekend!

Saturday Rob and I picked up our wedding bands. (YAY!) We purchased the rings at DeScenza in Hingham, MA. It is the same Jeweler that made my Engagement ring.
Rob picked out a very slick looking Tungsten band and I had a custom made band to match my Engagement ring. I have to say they did a fabulous job and I love our rings! Here are a couple of pictures I took!

After we picked up our rings we got ready and headed down the the comcast center for the Zac Brown Band concert with a Bunch of friends! It was a great Saturday! and thanks to the tax free holiday... we didn't have to pay sales tax on those wedding bands!

All right.. onto more wedding stuff! I have been looking for the perfect card box for our reception and finally found it today. On a shopping outing with Ma dukes we hit up Michaels in Natick and I found this dark brown wicker basket which matches out decor and color schemes perfectly! I bought some Fuchsia ribbon and printed out the "card" sign and put it all together! I think it came out great! I am gonna buy some fake hot pink flowers and put them where the ribbon spool is placed in these picturees to keep the lid slightly propped open.

So in addition to these items, I picked up my awesome hot pink pumps which I blogged about last week, ordered my veil and some other cute wedding items. I can't believe it is only 40 days away! SO EXCITED!

Hopefully I will have a lot of other wedding and life stuff to share later this week! Until then..... CIAO!

S'mores... YUM!

Today was National S'mores day! I know I know.. You have never heard of it before... but I mean seriously who doesn't love S'mores?? so of course they should have their own day!
Personally I love anything involving Marshmallow and then combine Marshmallow and Chocolate and it can't get any better!

There is this awesome Company called Sweet Lydia's. They are a Local MA company and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner at The Beantown Bride Event last month!


Her treats are absoloutely decadent and DELISH!
Her incredible Marshmallow treats aren't limited to S'mores... my personal favorite was the Pretzel sticks wrapped with homemade Marshmallow and dipped in chocolate. The perfect Combo of sweet and salty!
If you have a need to send a gift to someone I definitely reccommend checking out Sweet Lydia's Gift Baskets, and if you are looking for favors for a shower or wedding she makes the most adorable and scrumptious favors!

If my little write up didn't make you drool... these pics should!
