Save the Date cards

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Joey and I went over to my photographer today and we designed the Save The Date card that we are going to send out :) So exciting!!! Can't wait to show you - it's so pretty :)

Ooohh La La

I'm so excited I signed the contract today for my promotion. Good things to come I hope :)

I'm also so excited because I'm driving down to see my sister and mom this weekend. Trine, mom and I are all going to go pick up my dress on Saturday and then on Sunday I'm taking Trine with me to a Bridal Show in Huntington Beach. I guess it's supposed to be huge. I hope we can get there early enough because the first 50 brides gets swag bags (bags with free nice gifts)!!! If I can get my sis up early enough we miiiight make it. Takes about 30 minutes to get there too so we'll have to haul ass and I know how she likes her sleep (well I do as well but if there are nice free gifts involved then I'm DOWN!)

Hmm... I just started thinking... Joey was complaining about what he's supposed to be doing while we are doing all the wedding stuff. Weeeelll... perhaps I'll buy him a ticket too! hahaha He totally missed out on the last bridal expo I went to. There was tons of food, cupcakes, dessert etc etc. And this place is supposed to be huge so I'm sure he'll be fine. Plus - they are doing a special "Groom's only drawing" Perhaps he will win? I"m waiting for my sis to call so I can talk it over with her first. Joey can't say anything if I have already bought the ticket muahahahahahahah I'm so evil :)

Getting my dress!

Hello blog lovers,

I'm so excited I get to go pick up my dress this Saturday - and as an extra added treat my sister, Trine, will come with my mom and I. She is flying in from TX although she lives in NYC. She has business to take care of in TX and so she figured she might as well swing by CA and it so happens to be that I got a call a couple of weeks ago from the bridal store telling me they got my dress in. :) How perfect is this timing.

I have to say - I'm super nervous... What if it's too long? What if I'm too big for it? What if? What it? *sigh* I haven't seen or tried it on since freakin April!

My friend facebooked me to tell me she's running a deal on lash extensions and at first I thought "nah" but then the more I thought about it I thought it could be fun. Also, good to see what it would look like in case I want to have it done by the wedding.

The girl that was supposed to be doing my makeup has totally fallen off the earth so I set up another makeup trial with Blush and Lashes in Montecito. Morgan, my coworker, will also come with for a trial since she's getting married in August of next year and she's trying to finalize everything as well

Oh, I forgot to tell ya'll that Morgan and I went by the house where Kim Kardashian got married this past weekend - Congrats to her :) I have some bad pics of the area that I can post later. You couldn't really see anything and there were security posted at the three entrances to the estate. I have to say though - I didn't really care for the headband or what it was that she was wearing. Thought it looked very 1970s - ish... Not for me.

Oh, well I have to be at work at 6:30 tomorrow so I have to get up at 5:45 am - eeek I hate early Wednesdays! Lame ass...

Nighty night...

Xoxo,
Jess

Cake Truffle Tasting, gifts from Sweden and an amazing niece

So, again - sorry for lagging with the blogging but not much has changed in Wedding Planning world. Well, Joey and I went to try these cake truffles that I personally thought had more cake batter rather than truffles to them... Joey kinda liked them but I don't think we will choose them as favors :( I so wish I had liked them more!


While there her friend who makes cupcakes dropped of some for us to taste

They were SO cute and beautiful! My fave was the bottom right one :) I'm not too fond of cupcakes so those were a no go as well. Plus, we already have a wedding cake so no cupcakes needed

Last last Sunday Ann from Sweden came to SB with her two kids, Stephanie and Philip. They brought me gifts! :)




Lots of goodies, books and magazines! I'm so grateful :) I do miss Sweden dearly but I don't think I would fit in to live there permanently again... I've become too Americanized hahahah 

So, I got a phone call on Thursday, July 4th from Viktor. Viktor is my little brother (well... he's 25 haha). He called me from the hospital to let me know that him and his fiance Emilia just had a tiny beautiful little baby GIRL!!! After we hung up I called Joey and totally started crying hahaha I am so excited and the pictures I've seen of her - she's the cutest baby ever!!! Once i get my hands on some I'll post here for y'all to see. This is my first niece and I'm so excited to go buy clothes for her! I need to go down to the outlet in LA so that I can shop. They have a baby store there where their sales are huge! I think they will bring her with them to the wedding - she'll be about 9 months by the time she comes to visit. I feel that sometimes it's so hard being so far away with no means to go visit. :( I'm hoping after we are done saving for the wedding we can go visit Sweden. :)

Ok, I woke up at 2am and had to be at work at 6:30 this morning so I'm about to crash...
