Domain bought!!

We finally bought our domain for our official wedding website for all of our wedding guests!! Whoo hoo!!

Mega Update!!

Wow, it's been so long!! So much has happened!! I have no idea where to even start!! I'll just list some things that happened, however I can't put them in the order they came in because I don't remember. Haha!!

Lots of bridesmaid dress shopping has been going on. Our friend Sarah and I went together and found a few cute dresses at Kay's Bridal in Castro Valley. Later in the week Sarah finally got to meet MOH Brea as we all got together to look at BMs dresses and then hit up a few wedding appointments. Brea finally got to see the venue which she loved. We also went to look at a few reception wedding dresses. That day was very productive.

A few days after that, MOH Brea accompanied me to the 2nd annual Yelp Elite's 80's prom!! It was so much fun!! We drank spiked punch, tequila, ate yummy food, danced to good music, saw balloon arches, took prom picture, and saw a burlesque show!! Haha!! She even won the raffle and got a free night at the hotel for two people including breakfast!! She's such a sweet friend and gave it to Rey and I as a graduation gift.

Which brings me to my other good news, my high school sweetheart and I were able to graduated college together (photo above). Although he missed the deadline to sign up for graduation and wasn't expecting to be able to walk until next semester, he did it!! We weren't assigned to the same building, and weren't even suppose walk down to the ceremony together (they split up the graduates in two groups by last name so one group could walk in from the left while the other walked in from the right), let alone seat near one another but our friend Sarah (who also graduated with us!!) went and ask the director if her best friend could have her Fiancee walk beside her and have him sit with her and the director said, "I just want her to be happy, tell her that her Fiancee can come to this building and walk with her." The day was better than I could have ever imaged it!! All of our friends that graduated got to sit right next to us!! If you'd like to see graduation photos, please go take a peek in the Photo Galleries section on the left.

Rey and I also went camping!! We went with his gym!! It was lots of fun and wasn't too far away which was great. Camp Memorial Park was only 1 hour away from Millbrae. We'd def. go back, hopefully in July!!

Well, that's pretty much it for now. Now that it's summer I'll have more time to wedding plan. Looking forward to a very productive summer!!

An Update!!

Hello everyone!! Wow, it's been a while!! So much has happened. Let's see.. First off, yesterday was Mother's Day!! We were super full!! This years plans were a bit scattered, but it was still super fun. We had a late lunch with Rey's family family, then dinner with my family (photo of our dessert fondue above), then a late dinner right after with Rey's family!! So food back to back, to back!! So full!!

I've been sick for almost 2 weeks!! I had the worst flu ever!! I had bloody flem, I was throwing up 8-10 times a day, and I lost a lot of weight. It was really bad, Rey was getting so sick of my coughing and throwing up. Ughh, it was so bad!!

In wedding news, last Friday my friend Sarah and I went to 2 boutiques. It was really fun even though I was still getting over my flu a bit. Through all the coughing we still were successful in finding really cute BMs dresses!! After dress shopping, we even got to grab a bite to eat and catch up for a bit which was really nice once I haven't seen anyone in forever due to my stupid flu!! This coming Friday Sarah and MOH Brea will be meeting for the first time ever!! We're going to be meeting up for brunch and then a day filled with wedding appointments!! Brea will be going to the venue for the first time!! I'm so excited to show her the place!! Then we're heading to a few hotel tours to check out their rooms and suites, then a few boutiques, printing companies, and a few secret vendors which will be a surprise for our wedding guests!! Haha!! It's a seeeeeecret!! :)

Then this Sunday our Officiant (also my God Mom Janet) will be coming over so we can discuss wedding details. What we want our ceremony to be like, what we want her to say, time line, etc. We can't wait to see her, it's been so long!!

We hope everyone is doing well. The sun is starting to come out, the weather is warming up, and the days are getting longer. Ahhh!! Summer is almost here!! :)

A Visit From Some of the Groomsmens!!

Hey everyone!! We have been so busy lately!! As you guys know, Alvin and Anthony (both Rey's groomsmens) have recently relocated. Alvin graduated last year from UCSD and interned as an engineer and now he's moved back down to San Diego because that same company has offered him a job!! We are so proud of him!! And Anthony came back from boot camp for the Marines for a few weeks. He's done so excellent there and is such a trooper!! We got really lucky because we got to spend the past 2-3 weeks with them!! First Anthony came back, and then Alvin came back!! It was so great just hanging out with them!! (photo above is of Rey and I with our Maid of Honor Brea, Best Man Nick, and Groomsmen Anthony at the bowling alley throwing up "W" for "Wedding Party!!" Hahahahaa!!) Both Alvin and Anthony are gone now and it sucks!! But luckily Anthony gets his phone and internet on the weekends (and will be coming home about once a month) and Alvin has his phone and internet whenever he's not busy working. :)

What else is going on with our wedding party?? My fabulous MOH Brea just left early this morning to Italy!! She went with her family (and a special birthday shout out to her Mom Mrs. Aguas!!) They were actually suppose to leave Wednesday at 2 pm (I think??) but because of the volcano there, their flight got pushed back to 10 pm. And then again to about 7 am on Thursday (today). She is such a great MOH, she called me before she left asking me to give her a list of things to do for the wedding while she's on vacation. She's so funny!! I told her to just enjoy her vacation, and that we can do wedding stuff once she gets back. However, she said she was going to be bored in the 16 hour flight, so we agreed she can try to do some wedding invitation wording mock ups. I'm excited to see what she comes up with once she gets back home!! She is such a great MOH, I am so grateful to have her by our side as we plan the most important day of our new life together. Brea is so eager and ready to help out in any way she can. She's definitely a great stress reliever for me. She's organized and totally capable of anything life throws at her. I know anything she does, she's totally going to nail it because everything she does, she does it with perfection!! We hope she and her family have arrived to Italy safely. They as a family (and all individually) are so kind and caring, they deserve the best trip ever!! We can't wait to see all their photos from Italy!! We pray for their safe return back home without anymore delays due to the volcano.

In other news, I'm graduating next month!! Whoo hoo!! Not a really big deal, but I'm still proud. :)

Until next time folks!!

First Wedding Mixer: Brides & Basketball

Last night we had our very first wedding mixer!! To read more about it, go here.

A Great Pick Me Upper.

I was having a really bad morning and a bunch of my friends on Facebook were trying to help me get outta my funk. Then comes along our photographer to perk me up. :) He's the greatest!! Here are a few more!!


I just love the textures of this photo!!

I love how in this picture it looks like we're all alone in this huge place. It was so busy there, with lots of people walking around. I don't know how he happened to take a picture right when there was no one there.

This photo photo really makes me laugh. I didn't want to walk down onto the beach (parts of the walk was really really steep!!) and along the walk down I saw sour grass (or at least that's what I call it!!) and I just had to have some!! I remember eating it when I was younger and I asked DF, the photographer, and his assistant to please try it. After much speculation they ALL finally gave in and the photographer just had to capture DF trying it out for the first time. Haha!! Look at my face and how concentrated I am trying to shove the grass into his mouth, careful not to poke his eye. Totally focused!! Hehee!!

We were good sports and part took in a bit of rock climbing!!

I knew Rey would like this because it has his car in the picture.

We just love all of our photos!! They are all so unique and are so artistic!! We only have a few more days til our 3 week wait is over and we get all the photos back!! So so so excited!! We hope you all have enjoyed our teasers as much as we have!! We are so happy that Eddy surprised us with teasers 4-5 times throughout the wait, and each time he gave us teasers it was about 4-5 pictures. We have a whopping 19 teasers to date!! Whooo hooooo!! And we love each and every one of them!!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous on this gorgeous Tuesday!! Many blessings!!

More Engagement Teasers!!

We got MORE fantastic teaser engagement photos!! Yahoo!! So excited!! They look fantastic!!

A great close up!!

I love the lighting in this picture.

Love the contrast of this photo!! It reminds me of an "equal" equation YKWIM??

Hanging out in many doorways..

My friend Jenny said this one looks like a postcard, and I agree!! Hehee!!

We just love our photos and hope you do too!! Hope everyone is doing fabulous!!
