Aside from the opportunity to catch up with friends and family, indulge in great food, drinks, and entertainment, and just have a great time… 2.1 miles away, we now have an In-N-Out!

Just thought ya’ll would like to know. Open til 1:30am for that late night craving!



Of all the wedding plans, vendors chosen, directions taken, decisions made… my favorite part so far has been the selection of music: finding music for the prelude, processional, bride’s entrance, recessional, postlude, cocktail hour, reception entrance, etc. Yeah, I had no idea there were so many -ludes and -cessionals, too. Regardless, it’s so satisfying when you find the perfect song to fit each moment, almost akin to when I found Eva… I couldn’t stop smiling for weeks. Actually, now that I think about it, I haven’t stopped smiling since.

I’m excited, just over 2 months until the big day!



Another crazy busy weekend…

I don’t think I’ve ever collectively spent as much time at Michael’s in my entire life as I did this weekend… but whatever, we have our invitation idea set and ready to deploy! Execution though, will be the limiting factor… We’ll see how that plays out.

And I do believe we’ve finally found our band! We checked them out on Friday – me for the first time, Eva for the second time. They’re very entertaining and engaging and are a cool bunch of people. I just wished we didn’t have to see them in a smoky bar. By the time we left, we were covered in a nice even coating of the night’s smoky haze. No matter, the band was great.

Less than 3 months to go! Food tastings, here we come! Man, the days are passing so quickly. Stay tuned for more updates!



Our photographers have given us our engagement photoset and have put up a blog post about us! check it out at esvyphoto.com. They do some amazing work, and I’m not just saying that because they’re our friends… or maybe they’re amazing BECAUSE they’re our friends… haha, I kid, I kid. Nevertheless, check them out. They have a visually engaging blog that is not just a joy to aimlessly peruse, but a riot to read. Subtle humor intermingled with sentimental wit will tease grin out of anyone, regardless of how down and out they are.

So now that Eva’s brother’s wedding was a beautiful success this past weekend, we can 100% commit our time to our own wedding! We’re closing in on the homestretch now…

Our save the dates have been completed… after 8-9 hours of laborious work between a laptop, a printer, a papercutter, and a makeshift paint room (Eva’s garage). By the way, just so everyone knows, the save the date is actually a magnet. The magnetic paper was thinner than I thought it’d be (ordered online), so it just appears to be a thick photograph. My bad. So anyway, the save the dates should be going out some time in the next couple of weeks, as we’re finding it hard to actually get to a post office during their open hours.

I think we’re close to choosing a videographer now. We totally love the cinematic style of StillMotion based out of Canada, but they’re slightly out of our budget… by about the per capita of their own lovely country. Really, we didn’t think videography would be high on our list of priorities, but after seeing what was possible through these geniuses, we had to get someone with a similar style. When we first discovered them, we literally watched videos they had filmed and posted on vimeo.com every night for at least a week. But they’re big time now, contracted to film Super Bowl XLV for NFL Films this weekend. Congrats to them.

Oh yeah, one last thing… bridesmaids dresses will be ordered in the next week! Yeah, we did post saying they were chosen months back, but Eva changed her mind. She found a dress she liked better. Bridezillas have that right. And by “bridezilla”, I meant most awesomest loveliest person in the world… Love you, baby!



Save the dates should be going out soon! Well… After we put the together and send them out. We are targeting end of January for them.

So we just got back from Thailand a week ago. It was an amazing trip. Eva got to meet my relatives who hosted a tea ceremony for us with no prior warning, Eva’s brother got married in Phuket at an intimate villa location, and we got in some sightseeing and tons of delicious Thai food and delicacies.
