What a blessed woman I am

Ya know, before meeting Ramon, I never thought in a million years I would land such an amazing guy. He is everything a girl could possible wish for.

We've been together for 7 1/2 years. SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS of realness. Seven years of growing up with each other. Full of happiness, excitement, adventure, sadness, anger and disappointment. So of course we've had a few bumps in the road. And maybe a few pot holes here and there. And maybe we've ran through a few red lights once or twice, but nonetheless, my love, my passion and my heart remains his.

I think it's because he's a gentleman. He still opens the door for me. He still holds my hand every time we walk up stairs to make sure I keep my balance. He stays up with me through the night after watching a scary movie. He holds me when I'm sad. He holds me when I'm happy. And most of the time, he just holds me JUST BECAUSE. He drops me off to work every morning at 5:30am and picks me up at 4:30pm. He's been able to maintain a perfect "ON TIME" record. I have yet to wait for him. He loves and cherishes my family. And most of all, He loves me! He loves who I was, who I am and who I'll be tomorrow. I know I'd never have to doubt that.

If I could, I could go on and on. But if I had to chose one reason why I love him, it would be.... because I can be myself when I'm with him. Nothing more, nothing less. Just me! As is!

He's my everything. If I lost him, I'd be left with nothing.

So that leaves me with one question: How blessed am I to have everything?...

My Inpiration Boards

In search of an inspiration board I really wanted something to set the mark; be a base of what I envisioned for our wedding. I was really adamant on finding a board that shows sophistication, class and elegance. I searched high and low and came across this amazing board.

Not long after finding the board above, I built up enough courage and decided to create a board of my own. A little more of my style. A little more of a personal touch. And without further ado, I present my first inspiration board. YAY!

Color Pallet

To my surprise, choosing a color pallet is a bigger challenge than I've ever imagined. I have changed my colors time after time again. First I wanted the soft, classic look with colors of champagnes, golds and blushes. Not too long after deciding I came across this amazing wedding invitation which I fell completely in love with. Picture this: mocha, gold and ivory. I know, right? To Die For! So my mind was set. Good to go, right? WRONG! Oh so WRONG! Come July, I was searching for cake inspirations and look what I came across!... (gasp)

That's right. The motherload of cakes! Not only did I find my cake but I found my color pallet! Aubergine (eggplant), Gold and Kiwi accents. Who would've thought, ever in a million years, my color inspiration would come randomly through a cake. HA! Lovesit!

NOTE TO SELF: Start purchasing/booking/renting within this color scheme to prevent mental overload of constant color changes! STICKTUITY is the key! ***

$ Saving Tip

CAKE: When ordering your cake, never mention it's for a wedding. Otherwise, you'll be overspending.

To Intro or Not to Intro: That is the question.
