Once upon a time a red haired Mexican girl met an artist’s son from Florida.
They fell fast and hard in love.
They did crazy things…
Today marks 2 years since they got married in a castle in Paso Robles, CA.
Since it was in a castle, the wedding theme was Regal and Classic…
With golds, cremes and green colors…
Even though she forgot her detachable sleeves on her wedding day…
(when she specifically didn’t want a sleeveless dress…)
She jokes that she got married for the cake… (which is partly true)
So, today there will be cake – anniversary cake! Which is our little tradition (or at least we decided that on our first anniversary!).
And there will be love and talking and quality time.
You can read more on my Wedding tab.
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

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. 🙂
