bacon wrapped scallops, coconut shrimp skewers and sliders

so i was thinking about my favorite foods, and let me tell you there are A LOT, chris will attest to the fact that i'm such a little piggy and that i will ALWAYS without hesitation order more food than i will ever be able to finish...but thats not here nor there...

i was thinking about our hors devours at our cocktail hour and i remember thinking when we booked the place that bacon wrapped scallops HAVE to be served because well, i love them and would've been a deal breaker if the caterer couldn't deliver...and of course the classics: pigs in a blanket, mini quiches, spanokopita, coconut shrimp, thai chicken in peanut sauce, bruschetta and SLIDERS!

ok i added the last one, but seriously, who doesn't like a mini hamburger? they're so tasty! i wonder what the groom to be thinks?

Color Saga End...hopefully

alrighty, so it really isn't the hugest world ending deal this color thing...but hopefully chris will be happy with my compromise...we'll keep the champagne and ivory color theme because we both like it, BUT i will be still free to use brown and periwinkle blue accents here and there where i see it will work...like a hint of blue with the hydrangeas in an ivory bouquet , or the brown tree branches with hanging votives for the centerpieces...and perhaps a combo in the invitations?

i am woo-sa-ing (bad boys reference) about this...

He Hates It

so the groom to be has put it out there that he thinks my choice of wedding color is MESSED UP!
MOI! picking a messed up color scheme! you gotta be kidding me, i can see this is going to be a source of contention...le sigh! he wants to go with champagnes and AMBERS and ivories...but I think AMBER is a messed up color, so HA!

but that doesn't solve our problem...ugh...what now? it's his wedding too, should we decide on a scheme we both like? or should i push for what i want? because seriously all the girls think its great and love it, but the guys think its weird, odd, messed up, interesting anything but great with the exception of the flowerboy :-(

Color Me Happy

throughout my wedding planning process, i must've changed my color scheme like 10 times...
originally i was thinking of having a spring wedding so i imagined lots greens and creams...sorta like this, but at the risk of looking very irish (which neither of us are) i loved green orchids so i thought perfect!:

(source: i found it on liweddings.com, no idea of origins though...)

but then the wedding got moved to the fall...so i had to revise...and thought...ooo maybe shades of navy blue and greens like this:

but alas, we didn't think it would work for our wedding for various reasons...so we decided on shades of ivory and champagne... no photo of this one so use your imagination =P

but i couldn't let go of the fact that my favorite color won't be incorporated into my wedding! however i was making peace with it...until yesterday! i was determined to find more colors for my wedding because just ivory and champagne felt dull to me, just a little bit...so i started looking up greens and blues and i found this:

i'm in love! the pale blue color... my heart be still...the brown will make it fall happy and the champagnes and ivories will still work! and voila...my new color scheme was born...

now only to convince the groom to be that this is what HE wants too...that is perfection...

oh and let me add he said something quite funny as we were shopping for cheeses at dean and deluca, he turns to me and goes "i like amber" as in the burnt orangey yellow color...i couldn't believe he knew to use a color name that was NOT on the primary color chart hahaha i was very proud of him but i veto that color, so HA!

but i need to give him some credit for bringing my phone out to manhattan today when i forgot it at home, so now i have an excuse to meet with him for lunch!...love you baby, you're the awesomest! ::muah::

Keyfood Brand Banana Cream Pie Yogurt

this isn't wedding related, but this is so good! and its somewhat healthy! i can eat it all day long... it actually does taste like banana cream pie...and at 210 calories for 8 oz, i'm feeling it's ok...2 grams of fat per serving is not too bad either for lowfat yogurt that tastes good :-)

if you got a keyfood around you, GO GET SOME AND TRY IT!

oh you're so tasty, i want some more already!

i'm an idiot

don't you hate it when you go to a supermarket/store and you forget to take one of the bags on the plastic bag dispenser?!?!??!

chris bought me a copy of modern bride with anne hathaway and kate hudson on the cover, and after we get home as i'm looking for it in our bags, i realize we left it at the store!!! poo!

Friday Night Date With My Girls

aight, so like every other bride and or woman out there who is obsessed with weddings, comedy and movies we're going to see:

hope it's as funny and awesome as i think it's going to be!!!
