A beautiful country wedding

I just love love weddings!

Today I.. Wanted to share some photos of a fun, country wedding we went to this past weekend. This was our first time attending a wedding at a legitimate ranch.. such a great outdoor venue!
First, the view from the site! (Basically overlooking the chino valley)

Congrats once again to our friends Pam and Quinn! Love you guys!

5 Things lately…

Hey guys! It’s about 5am and I can’t sleep. Now that my husband leaves for work at about 4 am to beat traffic, I usually find myself in and out of sleep afterwards. But praise God for early mornings. I actually don’t mind them because I’m addicted to that feeling as though the day is young and there’s so much time to accomplish things! Anybody with me?!?

Anyway for some reason I’ve been having these nightmares lately. One was about a particular spider (this big brown one I’ve seen in the backyard) somehow finding its way up to my bed and me wondering where it was crawling. That one gives me chills. Another one was about failing to survive a zombie apocalypse. Perhaps I’ve been watching too much Walking Dead.

Anyway, here’s 5 little things that I’ve appreciated as of late:
1. This blanket a friend brought home from India. (Hi Vanessa!)

2. Making leche flan for the first time and enjoying the results!

3. Going to my cousin’s wedding and spending time with the hubs’ family.

4. I can’t NOT keep posting pictures of my baby. (Sorry if you guys are sick of it already!) By the way, she was going to town chewing my bracelet.

And last but not least…
5. Having time to write this post!

My Reflection on Marriage

Today I… decided to look back on my wedding and just remember the good ol’ times. Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. Honestly, I published a post and it literally disappeared! I’ve heard of that happening to people before, but I never knew what they meant. How can something get lost in the blog world? Well, ladies and gents, it is possible. So… I still cannot find it and it was labeled “Reflection Wednesday” so if you see it pop up some time…you know where it was supposed to go.

Anyway, its not much of a blog post today, but I did update and add a *NEW PAGE* to my blog entitled “My Wedding.” You can view it here. I figured I’d include details of my wedding after having a conversation with a friend who is currently planning hers. Weddings are so exciting!

Enjoy! & Happy Thursday!

Wedding Venue: The Langham Hotel

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of attending a gorgeous wedding held at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA. If you haven’t discovered this hidden gem in Pasadena yet, it’s definitely a head turner! The wedding was extravagant as I never stopped with “ooh’s” and “aahs” throughout the entire event.

I snapped a couple pictures with my old camera while I was there and thought I’d share some of them.

The wedding ceremony took place outside in the Horseshoe  garden. Her theme was “infiniti” and her walkway embodied that symbol.

 

Their reception was inside the Langham’s Viennese ballroom. The hotel actually has a lot of different ballrooms to choose from. See here.

The details in the wedding were amazing as well. The bride thought of EVERYTHING down to the color of the rhinestones on the menus. The tables were labeled by the word “love” in different languages. If I remember correctly, I was at the “laska” (Czech) table.

It was a beautiful wedding to say the least. I was honored to be a guest! To Marie and Kevin, the happy Newlyweds, I hope you are enjoying married life so far! Even though you’re in another state now, I’m so happy for the both of you and cannot wait to see little Calavan babies.
