Our Married Life

I seriously can’t wait to get these back. Tony Valadez is so awesome.

Tehe, we’re married. More recaps to come. We’re off to our honeymoon, so I gotta start packing. ACK!!

Valarie threw me a great shower in Elgin last month. Then Brian’s parents’ friends threw us another shower this past Saturday. It was great. Met all the people I’ve heard about. The food was awesome. The cake was good. What a great way to spend my birthday.

Did my bridal shoot today at Lakeside Park. Thanks to Diane for waking up early and waiting around for THREE HOURS while I was taking pictures. He told me it would only take an hour, I swear! Oh well. He sent me a few to preview but I can’t wait to see them all. Too bad I can’t post on here since I don’t want Brian seeing them. Email me or comment if you want to see them.

I wish our reception place was near the dart rail, bc I love this picture:

101 more days to go! I am extra excited. I really need to work on the invitations. My sister is supposedly working on a scrapbook with our engagement pictures. Speaking of which, I will be using a scrapbook in lieu of a guestbook. It will have pictures of us and people can sign around those pictures and add notes versus just signing their names on a line on a guestbook.

My alterations are scheduled for June 10th, and I guess it’ll take about a month to complete.

I’m trying to figure out where to do my bridals. Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens, Dallas Arboretum, Dallas Galleria, Northpark Mall, Teddy Bear park in Highland Park, Downtown Dallas…so many choices…sorta…

Brian and I finally had our engagement pictures done, finally after a whole year of being engaged. It was so much fun. We even saw Terri there, I haven’t seen her since HS. Anyway, he made us do all these poses which were a bit embarrassing at first, but I think we lighten up by the end and we able to get some good shots and poses, traditional and “romantic” ones. I got up at 6:30 this morning to go work out before I got my makeup done with Kelly Espinoza – at 9am – who is another assistant of Stephanies. She did a great job on the makeup. It lasted the whole day without having to touch up.

Now I’m tired. Those pictures better be good!

So I’ve “borrowed” some pictures from other brides to use as inspiration for our must have engagement photos. We’re getting ours done May 14th at the Las Colinas Canals, and I’ve also included some shots from there just to give you an idea of the setting. Anyway, I’m super excited. Hopefully Tony will let us change since I’m hoping to have more dressier shots and us in jeans. We’ll see.
