i'm coming to terms with the fact that i still don't have a "theme". i have chosen my colors, yet can't think of anything.
-our ceremony and reception site (City Hall) has been an icon of Pasadena since 1927 and is considered "one of the most distinctive public buildings in the u.s".
-my videographer (well spun) manipulates the film to create a 8mm/homevideo look.
-our first song is now La Mer by Charles Trenet since Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" is too fast to dance to.
It took me about 20 minutes to find my dress once I entered the store.
jewelry: crown stud earrings from sparklesforever.com bracelet by laundry by shelli segal
purse: I've had this purse for awhile, but haven't had a chance to use it (and I'm obsessed with hello kitty). My aunt in Japan got it for me when I was visiting one summer. Unfortunately, she can't make it to the wedding due to her health, so I'm glad I'll have something she gave me.
