Families are Forever

On a day like to day when we are mourning the loss of a dear loved one I just want to hold my family close to me. It is always comforting to know that Families are Forever. Grateful to just have celebrated five amazing years with my hubby, we never know what God's plan is for us. Just be thankful for the time you have now and hold your loved ones tight.

Pictures from our wedding day: 1/12/08

The beginning of our beautiful family together forever

 

 

wedding wednesday

The Planning for my future wedding is always happening and ever changing. Although I am still working on finding a groom to fit into this wedding, I feel the need to share with you a few of the currents plans I have finalized... until I change my mind next year of course.

First things first, this photo comes from an ad campaign by Tiffany&Co. I'm obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, hence my love for Tiffany&Co, and this photo. What does this all mean? that I will have a picture like this taken on my wedding day. It's perfect.

My Bouquet will be only white, and only Peonies.

So get this, I asked my mom if I could have her wedding ring for my wedding ring and she said no. It's weird that she wouldn't want her only daughter to have it. Alright so I know I am ridiculous and even thinking such things is crazy talk. But I love her ring its a gold band solitaire round diamond. I'll tell you what though, I really just love the idea of having a wedding ring that has been someone elses, even more so my moms but I'll get over it. This ring pictured above is my current favorite right now. It's understated, simple, and vintage.

 

So what does all this wedding talk mean to you. Nothing.

But I just like you all to be involved in the planning, that is all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sup-Urbs + {WINNER, WINNER!}

As Nicole mentioned we spent the day yesterday celebrating our cousin and his beautiful bride's wedding day.  The Bride looked stunning in her lace 3/4 sleeve dress and her beautiful hair piece.  The weather was absolutely perfect. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple, which is breathtaking. If you are not from Utah and you ever come visit you definitely need to take a tour of the temple grounds. So gorgeous. After the ceremony we headed over to City Creek for some lunch, then home so Mia could take a nap before the wedding reception later that night.

 Oh and Nicole took this "Super Urban" aka Sup-Urbs picture of my little family yesterday at the temple. She's pretty much pro-fessional!

Oh and remember that Shabby Apple giveaway we had going on?? Oh ya! That one for $50 towards Shabby Apple. Well we have  a WINNER WINNER!

Wedding Weekend

One of my very bestest friends got married over the weekend. We have been friends since 7th grade, no big deal! That's a whopping 13 years. I have been friends with my group of girls since 7th grade and two of them since 3rd grade. We go WAYYY back. And we still get together and still love eachother just as much. When we do get together you can expect lots of talking, laughing, joking, sarcasm and occasional cuddling. To start the weekend off the Bride to Be treated us to Afternoon Tea at the Grand America Hotel. We were treated with delicious little bites and pastries, so delicious. She gave us our bridesmaid gift which was a gorgeous pearl necklace and pearl earrings.

 Saturday Afternoon I headed up for the wedding rehearsel and dinner. They took us to Reyes Adobe Mexican restaurant for dinner. It is right off of Main Street in Park City. I got the Chicken Mole- Not bad! {I have this love for mole, I like to try it at every mexican restaurant) I spent the night in a condo with my girlfriends. We stayed up until 3am talking and laughing. Good times! We woke up in the morning and headed up to the St. Regis hotel in Deer Valley. Can I say AMAZING? This Hotel is absolutely out of this world. We were given a massive bridal suite to get ready in. We pretty much spend the whole afternoon doing our hair and makeup, approximately 4 hours getting ready! I probably had a million layers of make up and lipstick on.

Here I am with the stunning bride!

Go big or go home!

 Don't worry. I had my amazing point and shoot camera. It made us look bright, shiny

and vampire-ish

 BFF's Literally!

Gettin' all dolled up

The dress!

Look at that view! Breathtaking view and breathtaking bride!

The ceremony was absolutely perfect and yes, I cried a little. My friends new hubby is Jewish so they celebrated with Jewish traditions which was such a blast.We had a delicious dinner of tri-tip steak that was cooked to perfection. After dinner we danced the night away. I didn't get home until 2am. I love weddings! They just remind me how much I love being married to the love of my life!

XOXO,
Whitney

dress bliss

It isn't odd for me to be found on occasion gazing at wedding things, when I'm not actually even getting married. You'll actually come to find that on the regular I'm thinking weddings. I hope you enjoy the wedding dresses I've been loving as of lately. The last two are my personal favorites, I think I just want to wear a wedding dress that's all.

Linds & Troy

The Shields are a happy couple! My cousin Linds got married today and she is a gorgeous bride. Her dress is to die for! I'm swooning over it. I can't even wait to see what the reception looks like!

And while the Grown ups were in at the wedding I got to babysit this cute thing......

Me and Whit of course had to get a picture together, don't mind that I'm smiling like a fool.

I'm Pathetic

I'm just going to admit this right now, I am Obsessed with weddings (as if no one knows that I am?) But it's not a big deal because every other 19 year old year is too. I think this wedding video is the best of the best, I want one just like it, can you blame me? Probably going to have one just like it when I get married... okay ya we all know that won't happen, the great video quality part not the get married.. of course I'm gonna get married ha. Also I want to name my daughter coco.. just a thought.

much love,

nicole
