Hi! I’m the new Miss Milkshake! I’m a sucker for homemade strawberry smoothies (which I incorrectly call milkshakes) and coconut bubble tea, and Share Bear was my favorite Care Bear growing up!

I also like the ring to the name - it’s got some kickin’ alliteration, and since I’m about 5’2, it could almost be “Little Miss Milkshake” and pay homage to that Mr. Men series of childhood books (I’m sure we have a lot of children from the 80’s here!).

I’m about 8 months away from my wedding but all I have so far is my fantastic videographers, still-motion, that you’ll remember from a few posts about the infamous “Amy and Alex wedding”:

And my venue with its totally gorgeous little rooms. I’ve done a tonne of research into everything else. I’m going to probably start with a series of posts of my favorite wedding venues in the Great Vancouver Area, because at first - it seemed like the only two options were a hotel or a golf course, the first of which I had my high school graduation at, the second of which we had my dad’s 40th birthday at. There is a lot more out there, but they’re so hard to find! My venue wasn’t listed anywhere I looked for ideas, and I just happened to stumble upon it from a local photographer’s website.

I’m a photographer as a hobby, so my wedding photography is obviously very important to me (also a lot of favorites to share), and my posts will always be full of images for eye candy.

My life revolves around diy - I make handbags and jewelry, so I’m hoping to put my skills to the test for my wedding by way of invites, gifts, centerpieces etc etc, share the process with you (again, hooray for pictures!), and point out my favorite “indie crafty businesses” if you appreciate diy but won’t necessarily jump in and tackle it.

So for right now I’ve got:

video guys, check!
a venue, check!
a ring, check! (which isn’t 2 carats or however huge this one is!)

Cheers!
