2 Year Anniversary

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
20 Jun

Once upon a time a red haired Mexican girl met an artist’s son from Florida. CR10

They fell fast and hard in love.IMG_6876

They did crazy things…monica and ben grand canyon

And went on adventures…DSCN1689

Today marks 2 years since they got married in a castle in Paso Robles, CA.

006011

055058

061063

136

Since it was in a castle, 108the wedding theme was Regal and Classic…112

With golds, cremes and green colors…114

110115

Even though she forgot her detachable sleeves on her wedding day…DSCN1108

(when she specifically didn’t want a sleeveless dress…)DSCN1115

It was still magical.029001

And fun…026029

095097

She jokes that she got married for the cake… white wedding cake(which is partly true)056

So, today there will be cake – anniversary cake! Which is our little tradition (or at least we decided that on our first anniversary!).021

008

And there will be love and talking and quality time.037

You can read more on my Wedding tab.006Untitled

Blogging wasn’t my priority at the time, so I didn’t write about the wedding very well. If you have any questions go ahead and ask in the comments or via email Smile

011I’ll see you tomorrow <3

    These cupcake style cakes have also become more widespread in just a short time. Needless to say if you want chocolate you have to find a baker that does chocolate wedding cakes well..In designing the cake remember that it will be sitting at the reception for a long time.

    You look so beautiful and happy on your wedding day. Happy anniversary! Our cake rocked, I didn’t know I was getting married for the cake until after I was already married… lol and we got it at Wal-Mart! Ha! Just goes to show that you can’t go wrong with wedding cake.

    I specifically didn’t want a sleeveless dress either. I had the dress shop trying to convince me to change my mind, but in the end, I was the freagin’ bride and told them I wanted sleeves or nothing. So they sewed on these sheer sleeves. 🙂
