Getting Excited.

for the wedding.






And yes these are all images I have saved in a folder for my future nuptials. What? I'm a planner.

Not Enough Time.

A Valentine Letter Of Sorts.

One of my dearest friends in the world is getting married this weekend. She's marrying a friend of mine. I introduced them, kinda. Though I can't take any credit for this courtship. It was fate that they found eachother.




There is a wonderful quote I read once, I think it was Hafiz. He said that you should never refuse a friendship, even if nine out of ten bring you nothing, one alone will repay you. I believe this to be true.




I am honored to be this woman's maid of honor. In the highlight reel of my life, her face flashes in it a lot. I'm grateful that she invited me to grab a slice and beer with her over six years ago. I'm grateful she stood by my mistakes, my insecurities, my most cherished events. I'm glad that I've laughed and cried with her all these years. Even though I'm hours away from her now, I can still feel her squeezing my hand on bad days. Having her in my life, makes my life better.





I am so SO very excited to share this coming weekend with you my dear friend. So very excited.

Scenes from a Weekend.

A few weekends ago I had a magical bachelorette and bridal extravaganza with my best friends. One of my dearest friends is getting married and I think we sent her off well. I have the greatest friends in the world and I'm always slightly depressed when a weekend like this ends.











It took us awhile. But we found each other.

Invites.

Now that the weekend is almost here, these are the invitations I ordered for the bridal shower and bachelorette party. I used Wedding Paper Divas and they were fabulous. They send proofs, there was tons of promo codes and they came quickly. Since I needed to order so many invitations, this was a cheaper but still GORGEOUS option for invites. I highly recommend.





I will be crying a lot once this weekend is over!

Weddings.

Did you know that in February, one of my very best friend is getting MARRIED? And did you know that I have the honor of being MAID OF HONOR?! Needless to say, it's had me visiting all the wedding blogs - and here are some images that I keep on hand.

I pretty much would want to look like this if I ever get hitched.



Totally cute bridal party



More bridesmaid cuteness



Embroidered wedding invitations?! Unreal!




I can't get anything about this wedding out of my head. Perfection.

Forest.

NYC was a whirlwind. It was mostly work but I did get to see a show and a nice sunset and eat some good korean. Phew.

I am utterly in love with this tablescape from this wedding via OnceWed. If I ever get hitched, I'm definitely going the outdoor/rustic/earthy route. And I definitely love fancy plate settings on a picnic table!

Will You Be...

...my bridesmaid? There is NO cuter way to ask then with these cards. Spotted via OnceWed.



And no, I'm not getting married anytime soon. But my best pal is so I can be obsessed for awhile.
