Themes




At this time I have come up with the theme of my wedding. It is going to be spiritual and each table will be named after a different stone. Onyx, sapphire, amethyst, etc. The colors will be purple and magenta and the whole affair will be unique and splendid. Did I mention that I ordered a grooms cake that is supposed to be half Bobba Fett and half R2D2? YES! He is going to go nuts! So everything has fallen into place. The wedding won't be too girly but it will be whimsical. Since our venue is over the top chic (and might I say EXPENSIVE) we went with a theme that would make the place feel light and still capture the beauty of the space.

This month we attended a friends wedding and her theme was very colorful! There were splashes of orange everywhere and she came up with a clever way to indicate who was a vegetarian. A paw print on the back of the name card. I loved it so much that I took several pictures. But the thing that I loved the most about the wedding was the genuine happiness and love. I have been to a lot of weddings that were all about showing off and being over the top. This wedding was beautiful, real and the love was all around us.

Rapture party




We the sinners decided to have a party in celebration of the impending rapture. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Everyone who attended had to dress as one of the 7 deadly sins. I was greed, the fiance was pride, Simba was wrath and Buddha was gluttony. Fitting! Here are a few pics of the boys and their Rapture pride.

Simba's beauty mark



The mysterious bump on Simba's snout lasted for several months. We could never figure out what it was but all we knew was that his hair was no longer growing on or around it. Off to the vet we went and there was nothing wrong with the little guy but we were told to monitor it. It was quite the eye sore and I learned one important lesson: DO NOT TRY TO POP A BUMP ON A DOGS FACE! So humans can pop their own zits even though it's not a favorable thing to do but you cannot do that to a dog because it can cause a quick infection and severely hurt the animal. OOPS! I'm just glad that there was no long term damage and that his bump went away with time.
