For a Bible.
As part of the Hispanic traditions that we are incorporating into our wedding ceremony, we will be presented with a Bible and Rosary. The catch is that I don’t want your ordinary, plain leather Bible that you find at your local Christian store. I want something intricate that shouts, “Hey this is our Family Bible!” Something that we will display in our home and, when people ask what it is, we can explain how we received in on our wedding day. Something that our children can always look at and read through, knowing that one day it will be their Bible and their children’s Bible, etc.
Mr. Canary and I are working on our guide to NYC to include on our wedding Web site and as a little pamphlet in our out-of-town bags. This is a great little pet project for Mr. Canary who loves to write, but also a lot of fun for both of us to reminisce about our favorite spots. I’ll post more on that when we’ve completed the project, but while we were compiling our list, one of my most favorite places in the city came to mind, The Strand Bookstore.
If you’re a New Yorker and a bibliophile like Mr. Canary and me, you’ll know why The Strand is a “must-visit” on our list. It was one of the first places I took Mr. Canary when he’d visit me during our summers in college. It’s the best no-frills shop… all about books (over 18 miles actually!)

….. for them E-pics which seems we’ve been waiting eternity for.
Next weekend, Mr. CB and I finally take our epics with Scott Robert. Check out his last esession for Angie and Jon. They are one good looking couple!!! I hope we’ll look as hot, fun, and fierce as them!
I can’t wait but then I realized, man I’m cutting it kind of close and I’m still not sure about the outfits and locations we want to epic in!!! Need yo help ladies!
Excuses excuses for my shardiness but we took this in like 5 mins after I woke up from a nap.
So the countdown on my igoogle page has reached 100 days! Oh my gosh~ where did the time go??? I could have sworn that when I set the date, I had 263 days. It seemed like it was light ages away and I had all the time in the world. Now, I feel I have so much to do in so little time!

Despite the fact that I’ve bought him a PS3, xbox 360, and a wii, I was surprisingly excited to see that he unpacked my Super Nintendo and played Super Metroid last night, hailed by some as the best game of all time.
So that left me with some time to blog, and I’ve still got registry on my mind. When I think registry, all I really think about is the kitchen and perhaps 1000 count sheets and duvet covers that I would never justify buying for myself. I’ve read in more than one place that you can register at Tiffany’s, and this blows my mind. Though the Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant is, I admit, clean and simple, I am so far removed from that kind of jewelry and that type of shop (save for my classic solitaire, to my humble suprise, à la Tiffany’s).
So if I could register for something as frivolous as jewelry, this would be what I would want. It’s all handmade.
Much like Miss Peacock, I am not going to be able to reveal my dress to all of you lovely readers until after the wedding. There is a lot of lurking going on, not as much from Mr. Sundae, but from a lot of friends and family and I want it to be a surprise! I’ve kind of avoided the topic until now for that reason but I just have to tell you about the place I wound up finding my dress, and I can show some of the rejects!
When I started looking through wedding magazines, I was actually a little horrified at what I found. Why do they have to make the models look like angry, starving, 13 year old boys? How about a happy bride every now and again? It was a huge turn off for me. I am not one to go for a lot of poof or sparkles, massive amounts of tulle just ain’t my thing. The first dresses that I were attracted to were from Anne Barge, I was completely convinced I wanted this dress:

I can’t say enough how happy I was that I went with my gut feeling and bought a second dress, drama and all. I love that baby. Girls: take your time finding the gown you love! And if you can, choose someone near and dear to help you put it on. It wouldn’t have been the same getting dressed that day without my girl’s help:

I ran into the Paper Source the other day to grab some Thank You cards for my shower. PS had some really delicious letterpress cards in store, but at $13 for 10…I thought maybe another time.
Time to bust out the Gocco! So I thought I’d be totally unoriginal and go with the umbrella theme, since it was a shower. Shower…rain…umbrellas…we’ve seen it a million times. Anyway, on to the goods!
I bought 4 sheets of printed kraft wrapping paper and traced out my own envelopes using the nifty Envelope Templates that Paper Source offers (and every crafty gal should own).

OK, I lied. ONE more [short] installment of a detail–our cool ring shots by Michael Norwood.
The time has come to really, I mean really figure out what I want to do with my hair. My appointment for my hair trial is next weekend, and I have no idea what I want because I like so many styles. Though I’m still debating, the vintage style is slightly winning the race. But some vintage styles are not comb friendly and that’s something I must take into consideration.
Yup, I purchased a beautiful hair comb which I guess in the heat of planning and blogging, slipped my mind and was forgotten. Here it is… purchased on ebay for a mere $6, shipping included. What a bargain!
Scrub, scrub, scrub. Who knew that scrubbing one’s skin practically raw could feel so good? Recently I waxed poetic about Laura Mercier’s divine Creme Brulee scrub, but lamented the painful cost. Well today’s your lucky day– I found a cheaper, and dare I say better, alternative!
They say that it’s the small things in a relationship that make all the difference. The little gestures of kindness, the smiles and subtle signs of affection, the tolerant demeanor when I have a crying fit, etc. But seeing how our significant other treats friends and strangers can also be a nice reminder of why we love that person so much.
Last night after meeting me at happy hour with some of my co-workers, Mr. Cupcake followed me home, and immediately as we were walking in the door, his cell phone rang. It was a good friend (and one of his groomsmen) who found a leak in a pipe in his house, and called Mr. Cupcake for some guidance. Although he works behind a desk for a construction company now, Mr. Cupcake worked in the field as an electrician all through college and the following few years, and to say he is “handy” is grossly underestimating his skills. (I’m not just bragging because he’s my future hubby — the boy knows a LOT about all aspects of construction.)
Poor grooms. They barely get any attention. I know I haven’t given much thought to Mr. Tiramisu’s attire, let alone his boutonniere. Here are some pretty (handsome?) ones for you to consider, and a few fun alternatives.
With our mailing deadline coming up, Mr. Hum and I have been mulling what kind of R.S.V.P. card we want to include with our invites. We’ve both gotten a kick out of people who add funny little touches to theirs to represent their personalities and senses of humour, as well as the personalities and senses of humour of their guests. After all, we have some very funny friends and we are already doing things to incorporate our sense of humour into the day, so why not do something interesting with this? We can get people involved and we can let them know that we expect our day to be a lot of fun so it’s okay for them to have a giggle with us.
