I can’t even begin to describe how horrible I felt, both physically and emotionally, last week and especially on Saturday when I missed Eri and Nick’s wedding. I wasn’t able to attend her despedida de soltera, her bridal shower, her hen night, and yes, her Big Day. I was devastated and still am in shock [...]

The Norths
Kind of a busy weekend. As my precious and fragile fiance nursed a debilitating sickness, I attended the much anticipated nuptials of Nick and Erika North. But let’s backtrack a bit. At the beginning of the week, Cathy had gotten very ill. At first we though it was an allergic [...]

The venue where the ceremony was held, The [...]

Michi Calica
Picking Michi Calica to be our entourage designer was such an organic process; it felt ‘right’ to go with her. Now, as far as new experiences go, I usually do my research beforehand so that I don’t waste anyone’s time; picking a designer for my gown (and the entourage) wasn’t any different.
