Mrs. Pomegranate's Picture
Mrs. Pomegranate, Sacramento Age and Occupation: 27, Technical Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Software Engineer Engagement Date: August 23, 2007 Wedding Date: October, 2008 Blogging Since: June 5, 2008 Venue: R.H. Phillips Winery About Me: Hi, I'm Miss Pomegranate and I'm a shopaholic. I have a weak spot for the chic cheap - especially anything I can re-create on the DIY. Shoes are my vice, music is my passion in life and technology is the medium by which I live and work. When I'm not scoping out a sale, I'm spending my quality time training for a marathon, playing Wii with my fiance and snuggling with my Silver Labrador and Teacup Panther - and oh yeah, planning my wedding!
About Mrs. Pomegranate

While the girls and I were getting pretty, Mr. Pom was getting dressed. Sure, our room was filled with the chaos of 10+ bodies huddled in to a hotel room, but Mr. Pom chose quiet and serenity over the craziness. This is one of the reasons I love him - he truly is the yin to my yang at times; while I relish in the busy, he does so in the calm.

What’s that I spy? Those don’t look like the “Eye Do” cufflinks

While he was getting ready quietly in his room, my MOH snuck over with the second part of my Wedding Day Gifts - the surprise! I had stopped searching for the perfect cuff links, as the other ones I bought were so money (ha!) - but a Jan Leslie sale popped up on Gilt Groupe and I just couldn’t resist when I spotted them.

Jan Leslie Sterling Silver Hand-Painted Enamel Pineapple Cuff Links
on sale for over 45% off at Gilt Groupe.

I just couldn’t get over the fact that the pineapple had come full circle - Mr. Pom gave me one on our first date, and then I gave him pineapple cuff links on our wedding day. It was the perfect surprise! In fact, for those of you interested in finding the perfect cuff links for your groom, there’s another Jan Leslie sale coming up on June 1st!

…and took a quick peek in the mirror. Done!

Mr. Pom was dressed pretty quickly - while it took hours for us girls to be primped and pressed. So, he headed down to meet the rest of the groomsmen in the lobby and hopped in a limo to head to R.H. Phillips Winery for photos.

What a sweet story surrounding the pineapples! My husband and I have a thing like that with owls. I broke his old owl lamp…and he has bought me owl earrings, owl cookies, and even a card with an owl on it for our wedding day!

Love the cuff links. I made my fiance some to suprise him that are drama masks, since we’re both in showbiz!

I love the story that comes along with the cuff links.
I am also giving the Mr cuff links as a wedding day gift. They are of a photo of his grandparents (mother’s parents). Originally they were not taking the trip from Puerto Rico for the wedding so I thought it would be a way for them to be with him all day long. Yet now they will have even more of a special meaning because his grandfather passed away :’(

What a great wedding day gift! My Fiance always jokes around how he wants a NFL Cardinals wedding theme…which I’m not a huge fan of, lol. But I am going to surprise him with Cardinal’s cuff links!!

Mrs. Pomegranate I’m really looking forward to your recaps! I’d love to see a vendor review as I am interested in two of the vendors you used (photographer and quartet).
