Time for Our Love

It's funny how my MOH really knows me. Not the usual what's my favorite color, or my favorite drink of choice. But she really knows me..... She knows that I want to make my wedding feel special to everyone that attends. She also knows how much I really love Mr. H and how important it is for us to have 'husband and wife time" during the wedding. So without having even asked, we were at lunch last Saturday and were talking about wedding seating. (I'm not doing assigned seating so my guests can sit where they want, but there will be a few reserved tables for immediate family.)

I asked her about bridal seating cause one thing I do know is that I DON'T want a bridal table. Our bridal party should not have to be on display while they are eating. So she says why don't you add another reserved table and put all of us at it so that we're all in one place at the same time and available for whatever else we may have to do. And then, before I can speak, she tells me that we SHOULDN'T be at the reserved table but at a single table, just the two of us. I was astonished because I had always loved the idea of a sweetheart table, but didn't want to be selfish and have Mr. H all to my self for the meal. 

After talking to my MOH and mother, then Mr. H, it's official. WE ARE HAVING A SWEETHEART TABLE!!!! This idea brings up many images that I've just got to share:

Not quite sure about the decor for the seats or tables, that will still go with the shabby chic style of the wedding, but that will all work itself out in time.....

Well now that I've done my blog, I'm off to watch the King's Speech and lay on the couch, since I've got a nasty cough/congestion/flu thing that I cannot shake. Took another day off work and now time to rest so that I can go back on Thursday!!!

Do you secretly have a seating idea that you want to do but now sure if it's the right thing for you wedding? Ask those who know you best and come up with a solution because it could be the very thing that winds up happening!!!

Bad, Bad Girl

So I must say SORRY for being such a bad blogger, but there's a very good excuse:

That's right: BASEBALL!!!!!

But more specially, the 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!!

Baseball season has begun, baby....

My fiancée, parents, and I went to the Opening Night game where we got to see our team receive their championship rings. It was an awesome game. So awesome in fact, that the win for us come down to 2 outs, a 3-2 count (which means it was literally decided by the LAST pitch of the game). A big thanks to Miguel Tejada for pulling through and a little divine intervention to help us get the WIN!!!

Don't be deceived that all I've done is sit in front of a tv and watch baseball, I've also been working on 

Christmas gifts and there was also a get away weekend to San Francisco with my fiancée to his brother's house. 

Best part of the weekend (besides doing whatever we wanted)?

Some Irish Coffees at The Buena Vista....

But Christmas in April? Why may you ask?

It's because I'm making quilts for some people's gifts!!!

Now I can't say who they are for since they are a surprise, but it's so much fun. But they've got to be done early so they can go to the quilters to be quilted (think stitching in the quilt), and then I've got to bind them (and the edging). So they've got to be done by mid-August to go to the quilters so that I can get them back some time in October or November to be able to finish them in time for Christmas!!!

May seem like a lot of excuses, but I promise to be a better blogger and I'm going to aim to post AT LEAST once a week from now until the wedding.....

Speaking of wedding, we're almost to FOURTEEN months..... May seem far away to some, but believe it or not, we've been engaged for almost eleven months so it'll be here before I know it!!!!

Oh, and on a another silly note: HAPPY NATIONAL GARLIC DAY!!!!!

Any else hit a non-blogging slump and how did you motivate yourself to jump back into it???
