Daniel and I met online almost 4 years ago.  We actually started chatting on his 22nd birthday! A few weeks later we met in person and since then its been love nonstop.  He said "I love you" first, which totally freaked me out...but I knew I loved him when 3 months after we started dating he got in a horrible motorcycle accident and I couldn't picture my life without him!

Daniel proposed to me at midnight on New Year's 2009, after almost three years of dating! It was a total surprise...but in reality I knew it was coming sooner or later.  We had been living together for the past year and a half, like a married couple.

And now a year and 4 months into our engagement we are getting married.  YaY!! Our wedding is actually almost 4 years exactly from the day we started dating!! Wedding April 17, 2010-first date April 20, 2006

My engagement pictures! Love them!!

That last one if a pic of one of our Hockey Team's mascots! Go Bakersfield Condors!!

So Im not sure how to make an inspiration board.  I know theres a lot of tutorials out there but I thought I'd just put up some pics of stuff I like and plan to use similar items for my wedding.

The biggest one-My Dress


My Shoes- I totally love them!!

My reception shoes :) Love these too!!

My Bridesmaid Dresses - I am adding a Mermaid(turquoise) colored sash around the band and my girls are getting turquoise shoes to go with.  My MOH is really funky so she's even putting a couple streaks of turquoise in her hair!

Cake-only with turquoise and brown ribbon and Green Cy. Orchids

So since last year I have been out of a job...I was a first year teacher in California and as anyone else in Cali knows....our education is rotting out! I was laid off and the likelyhood of me getting my job back soon is well slim to none.  So to save a lot of money I decided to DIY as many projects as I could.  I love projects like this anyway so it was fun!

My Table numbers and Ring bearer pillow

My fabric pomanders

My votives for centerpieces
