happy 2 months to us!

(another fab image by Look!)

wow- it actually seems like so long ago . . . not sure why other than we've just been busy with work and his registration exams (#5 tomorrow) . . . which makes me look forward to next weekend even more as we'll have 4 days off -woo-hoo!

we are somewhat trying to celebrate our mini-anniversaries each month - either with fun dinners or evenings out . . . due to the exam- we're going out for sushi tomorrow night, which should be yum! (though most sushi afficionados would claim that i don't eat sushi- as i typically stick to shrimp and veggies- but hey- i've only been eating cooked fish for 2 1/2 years! what i do like is the combo of flavors and textures, that it's fun to eat and the bit of a kick by the wasabi :) - oh and sake's pretty tasty, too!)

as far as general updates . . . i've only 3 miles down and 27 to go (sadly rain and work have prevented further jogs during the week) . . . a thirty-something list is in the works . . . additional wedding posts are also in the works as are a mish mosh of other random musings . . . oh- and i hope to start my official list of the blogs and websites i read : )

my very own personal Bond . . .

oh how handsome is he!

while i have yet to truly recap our fabulous day, in honor of our recent viewing of the new bond flick, i wanted to show off one of the ways my honey participated in our wedding : )

his attire, as well as the groomsmen and our fathers, was selected by him with me agreeing with him by his side . . . and i think he did a swell job! (and of course, i'll illustrate this in due time with pictures of the entire wedding party of which i think all look fab!)

oh- and how does his attire relate to bond? well- initially we thought about getting him a tailored bond-esque dinner jacket- but ultimately we went with the shawl collar on the ivory tux jacket with brown tux pants . . . the finished look, though, still resembles what i envision as 'bond' style (as well as some aspects of the show 'mad men' of which i have yet to see -as we don't have cable- however, from what i have gathered from various sketches on other shows- snl and treehouse of horror) . . .
anywho- he has introduced me to bond, from the design and style of the characters and settings of the stories to the many movies . . . while i never thought twice about it in the past, i have become quite entertained by the character and the world that surrounds him!

oh- and i will soon try to make links work in the post to direct curious parties to the website of our wonderful photog(s), vicki and her hubby tom of LOOK photography. (Thanks to Kelly i have working links! yay!)

here we go-cco again!

although planned from the time we found our gocco on craigslist, it is nice to have finished another diy project-our thank yous- and since they will be in the mail tomorrow- here's a sneak peak . . . close up images will be posted later this week as well as my final wedding gocco project : ) it was quite fun to participate in our wedding in such a personal / creative way - it is just sad that gocco supplies are no longer in production after this year- my suggestion- snag one for yourself if possible and a handful of screens for that rainy day printing project!

architecture + wedding design

= neat-o icons for table names! and by the way- i must credit hb :) as he helped tremendously with the icon designs!


as we met in grad school for architecture, and since architecture has engulfed our lives when we are apart, it seemed fitting to incorporate some aspect of it into our big day . . . so instead of a '#' or letter or photo for our guest tables, we created architectural icons incorporating buildings, landscapes and other design projects . . . on the escort cards, we put miniature icons with everyone's name . . .

granted, we probably enjoyed the icons more than some of our guests, it was fun to add personal touches and allow others to learn a bit more about us!
