A Magic Moment Events & Floral Design

Happy Friday all!!! I, for one, am SO glad it's here!!

So, I still have wedding on the brain, particularly my florist and cake baker. But, I just got an email from my florist, A Magic Moment Events & Floral Design, that really made my day! I'll get into the email in a second.

From the "Magic Moment" I met Tami, the owner, I knew she was my 'perfect flower fit'. She really got me and my ideas. Plus, her shop was decorated in Black, White & Pink. My wedding colors! I cannot tell you how excited I was to see my flowers and the girl did not disappoint!!! Everything was more beautiful and vibrant than I could ever have imagined!!! So many people commented on how gorgeous the flowers were, and now I am a total referral freak! If I even hear someone mention the word "florist" I jump on the chance to tell them about Tami!!

OK - on to the email. So, I get an email from her thanking ME for the chance to do my wedding!! Amazing!! Then she said to check out her blog...and there was a piece about my wedding!!! Made.My.Day!!! Here it is: http://amagicmomentevents.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-favorite-colorpink.html

Anyway, Thank YOU Tami for helping to make my wedding day perfect!!

Busy Weekend!

What a busy weekend!! But, being the last weekend before our wedding weekend, we knew it would be.

Friday: We went to my Mom's for dinner and to hand out candy. We only got about 10 trick-or-treaters but they were all so cute!

Saturday: I got my nails done, then picked up my wedding ring!!! It's perfect!! The only picture I have is from my phone, but here it is anyway...

Then, I headed home to get ready for Sharif & Kelly's wedding! [Sharif is a friend and co-worker of Ryan's.] It was a really nice wedding, and the Bride's Entrance was so unique! Sharif held up an old school boom box and played "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel [like in Say Anything]. It was so cute! Then Ryan & I had a blast dancing the night away with all of his co-workers. It made us really excited for OUR wedding!!!

Sunday: We ran errands like crazy and started working on the last minute wedding stuff.

I only work today and tomorrow then I'm off for the wedding!!! :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!
