Its crazy!!! but times fly by so fast, we are only 2 months away from the wedding!!
And we have so much stuff left to do. It seems that even when we are doing so much, still it is not enough.
We got 2 big things done this weekend. We went in and got our wedding bands, which will be ready in 2 weeks tops. And we went to look for wedding favors. FI had this idea for favors, which are kinda expensive, and not budget friendly, but he also figured out a way to get all 100 favor in less than $20, so we went ahead and bought them.
We are still missing a bunch of things, which is freaking me out, but we still have 2 months to complete it all.

Our Wedding So Far!!
Since I've been doing so bad at actually posting stuff here, I've been doing just updates and I thought it was time to update everyone a little more on our wedding stuff so far...
I have been looking for unique ways to make this wedding extra special; looking around I found some lovely earrings from Anthropology, which I love and think they will look awesome with my wedding gown.
I should also say that the most important budget we had planned and saved for was for our honeymoon. Even when it's every bride's dream to have the most divine wedding in the planet, I've alwasy been realistic about wanting to have a much better honeymoon than wedding. So a few weeks ago, after lots of debating and considering of our future plans, we booked our honeymoon!! Its an all inclusive hotel, and is at this moment rated as a 5 star hotel!
As I've commented on previous posts, my little sis with her amazing talent and tasta has been in charge of designing all stationary related (wedding invites, bridal invites, escort cards, table numbers, menus, programs, calligraphy, etc.)
Since mid january we've (well, I provide some ideas and she makes them a realitu, heheh) been working on the whole wedding concept.
With less than 75 days to go til the wedding we are making some progress, but still need to work on some small details, get some samples, and hopefully a month before the wedding everything paper related will be ready.

Update: Edit!
A couple of weeks I posted about the things we were still missing, and since I been leaving this blog on the limbo for some time I thought to update all on our recent completed items
- Cake: We met with our baker a week ago. She is so sweet and makes awesome cakes. Because we already had a wedding cake picture we liked we gave it to her and she made said she could make the same one for us. She gave us the total price for it, and we've already schedule a date for going in and doing some tasting.
- Music: Well, not only did we find a DJ for our wedding but the same vendor has an option for Karaoke!! I'm a huge fan of karaokes and as part of my family's tradition I wanted to have a wedding with both music we can dance to and sing!! This vendor also offered the best price out there, so we booked him right away.
- Wedding Bands: This past weekend we also ventured out to look for our wedding bands. My engagement ring has a lovely band, that I wanted to keep the same throughout our wedding bands. We went in to the same jewelry that made my engagement ring and order our wedding bands!!
- Wedding Shoes: there was this huge drama going on, because people are so used to traditional weddings. My whole family flipped out when I mentioned I wanted purple wedding shoes for our wedding day... Every comment has been how a wedding should be white, cream, silver, or gold themed, so of course my wedding shoes should be of a similar color. Well, since I'm the bride and I been planning the whole wedding...I decided I would pick the color and buy the shoes I wanted. Thankfully I have an amazing friend that walked with me for more than 3 hours and into every single shoes store, looking for the right wedding shoes until I got what I wanted.
At this moment we are missing just a few more big things, and a few little things...
My mom and I are going to get my dress fitted with my actual wedding shoes, because my dress is way too long and now that I have my shoes it definitely has to get fix.
We are also going to be doing some pre wedding make up and hair appointments before the wedding, where my mom is also going to come along with me.
