Feeling better

After considering canceling our plans due to financial stress and economy, I went to a Wedding Expo with my friend yesterday and it was so fun! It was nice to do something with my friend, wedding related. Here is a photo we did in the booth they had.




So last night we decided, since we were in the wedding mood, let's go see bride wars. It was such a good movie! I cried at the end, it kind of had a sad ending, but a good one too!! It's a must see!

So Gabe and I have been planning center pieces, I'm buying my flowers in bulk online. We are going cake testing today!!! Ooooh I tried this really REALLY good cake, I need to find the name, it was AMAZING!

Well I tried looking for the name of the cake, but the bag is a mess.

We get to pick our date!!!!!!

If you have been reading for a while, Gabe had to formally get his last nuptials null and void. Seeing as they were both Catholics and were wedded, (although they weren't wedded in a Catholic church) there was still a process to be done in order for us to be wedded in church, well.... It’s been accomplished!! I am speaking with our church today to pick our dates of availability! How exciting! That was half the battle.

We have a song!

For a while now, I wanted Babyface but he wasn't into the song. I didn't think it was right to have a song that we didn't feel the same about. You know, when you listen to a song and you get goose bumps and your eyes get watery because you imagine yourself dancing your first dance with the love of you life. Well, we finally found that song!
Here is a video of the song from youtube.

It's a waiting game now....

Well, I submitted my paper work to the church a while back remember, on the 9th. I am still waiting on our date. I called our church last night, they said they still had the paperwork. I am getting discouraged, I was told that it would take two weeks to process, three to get an answer, all to hear that they haven't even left the church to begin with.

I talked to Father Angelito yesterday, he said he would do his best to work on it have it sent, and try to get it back in two weeks. But to check back in one month....

It's another waiting game. The good thing though is, about that time is when our refund comes in, and it's paying for the whole wedding!!!! Whooot Hoooot!!!

I know, I know, counting my chickens before they hatch right,.... Ahhhh I just can't help but to be excited about finally getting married in church, blessing our marriage... it's something I have wanted for so long and I never thought the day would come!

And we have color!!!

This is the color of the dresses =) My mother in law just bought the fabric, it's very nice and pastel pink!

AND WE HAVE FLOWERS!

Well, we have been trying to find what would look best with our bridal party, and cut costs at the same time. At first we were thinking Cala Lillies but I think we finally decided on Gerbera Daisy. The first photo is what my bouquet will look like. Colors and all. The roses will be white or Ivory and in the middle with Gerbera Pink Daisies in the middle.



Here are the bouquets for the bridesmaid and Jr flower girl. Three simple daisies. The ribbon that holds the flowers together will be pink like the dresses. Very simple but stunning.


Table flowers, I thought this was a cute set up.. I was thinking of something similar and in pink...

What do you think!?

So now we wait

This week I went to San Jose to get the divorce decree from Gabe's last marriage. That was the final paper we needed to get our approval from the church. I delivered all the paperwork to our church on Friday and now we sit and wait. Father said it should be three weeks until we hear back. I am excited!!

I talked to my good friend Olga on Friday as well, she will be my wedding too. I have been friends with her since my freshman year in high school. My cousin Sylvester and Anthony will both be in our wedding, and I found out that we are expecting a grandchild in July of 09' too. Our family is growing so fast it's unbelievable how much time has passed and it doesn't feel like it.
