The best card from Jacob ever.

The Life Aquatic (Disneyland!)

Yummy yummy bundt cake!

I made four of these this weekend.  Yes, FOUR.  One for a dinner party, one for us to nom, one for Jake to take to work, one for me to take to work.  Simple and delicious - anyone had a wedding bundt cake?

The Ring!

I'm sure you're curious to see the ring!

Jacob and my sister Jenny chose this vintage replica - the center stone was my grandmother Betty's main diamond in the ring she wore from my grandpa Jim.  I couldn't be happier with it - this thing sparkles in the dark!

Cute decoration idea...

Nothing like fresh pears as decoration...

My favorite dresses so far...

The only way to start is to start...

Jacob and I are really excited to plan our wedding. We have not chosen a firm date just yet, but are looking at March or April of 2010.

We need lots of help to get this off the ground - anyone who wants to help make invitations, center pieces, find caterers, rentals, or have suggestions for locations, I am open to any and all suggestions!


For the location, we are looking at:
http://www.marvimon.com/ in Downtown Los Angeles.

It's a very hip, cool loft with an open and relaxed feel.  Costs are high, so any donations to the wedding fund are greatly appreciated!  xoxo
