Webcasting Our Wedding

It's officially official. Alex and I will be broadcasting our wedding over the internet live!

This is really exciting news because there are many people who will not be able to make it to the ceremony. Now these people won't be left out and they can still participate in our special day. 

If you ever find yourself in need of broadcasting something over the internet...all you need is a camera, wifi, and stickam. It's really very easy. 

If you are unable to attend our wedding ceremony but would still like to see us tie the knot, all you have to do is get yourself in front of a computer with internet on Saturday at 4PM (eastern time) and click on over to our website. Everything is all ready for you. All you have to do is show up. 

We hope you are able to share this amazing day with us. 

...almost there...

I've been neglecting the wonderful world of blogger because I've just been too busy with all the wedding details. I really didn't realize there would be so much to do at the last minute. However...we are ALMOST there! Just five more days and the big day will be upon us. 

Everyone has been so wonderful. My sister and friends threw me a great bachelorette party last Friday. Alex had a blast at his bachelor party. My mom is in town and has been running errands and making flower arrangements, etc. Alex is working hard on designing things and trying to set up a camera to broadcast the wedding over the internet (we'll see if we can make it happen). 

Basically everyone is doing their part to make this wedding happen!

Forgive me if you don't hear from me for the rest of the week. Hope you all are doing great...and when you think of us, send up a little prayer that we keep our sanity!

Twenty-Three

In the midst of all this wedding craziness I almost forgot about my birthday...almost.

In six days I'll be 23 years old! I wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. 

After all, I think getting married is pretty much the best birthday present ever. But a friend reminded me that I shouldn't let this occasion go by with a little celebration. So I'm having a small gathering of friends at Samurai on Friday...my favorite restaurant! I love the hibachi steak, the fried rice, the amazing shrimp sauce! I can't wait. 

And on Sunday Alex is taking me to Joe's Stone Crab. I've never eaten there before...but I hear good things! My sister and her new husband will be joining us. I'm really looking forward to it. 

By the way, if you're feeling generous, I really *love* Urban Outfitters gift cards. ;-)

Or just plain Hallmark cards. Those are great. 

mini vacation!

I'm off this weekend to Lake Placid!

Between work and last minute wedding preparations I'm ready to pull my hair out!

So thankfully, Anne Marie has invited a group of us to her family home in Lake Placid for a great weekend of relaxation, friends, and food!

:-) I welcome the serenity that awaits me there.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...and happy mother's day! (for those who qualify)

spray painted hearts

For a little less than a year now I've been noticing these hearts all around Miami. I see them everywhere...spray painted in various parts of the city. Kendall, South Miami, the Gables...everywhere! 

I'm convinced that there's some hopeless romantic delinquent running around Miami at the wee hours of the morning spray painting hearts to show their affections for their one and only. Picture it...it's great. 

Has anyone else seen these? Take a look around, they're everywhere. 

Let me know any interesting theories you might have on where these things come from...
