Tudor and I met in Boston in 2005 during his senior year at MIT and my sophomore year at Simmons. Several days after my graduation, Tudor and I took a trip to Niagara Falls along the Canadian border. Tudor proposed on a ferris wheel overlooking the falls. We then walked to the park where we watched the fireworks display that Tudor had found out about earlier that day...he gets lucky with spontaneous things like the fireworks.

We love to travel and have recently visited Romania, his native country, London and Greece...next stop Hawaii and Japan.

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.

Our ceremony will take place in the rotunda (entrance) and the reception will take place in the courtyard. The building is finally complete after a three year renovation of $118 million. It is especially gorgeous at night!

The cake will actually have three tiers with blue and peach flowers. I love the delicate design.

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.

This is the style, but the vest will not be "banana". Instead it is this tux with an ivory vest and tie.
