Mrs. Barrettes's Picture
Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!
About Mrs. Barrettes

Ten Ten Ten or In Vino Veritas

October 10th, 2010 @ 11:10 am by Mrs. Barrettes

Well hive, I think this may be my last post as a Miss! With the whirlwind that’s about to hit my life I don’t know if I’ll see ya until the middle of next week!

The weather in Napa is perfect for this weekend and I couldn’t be more lucky. Marrying my love amongst our favorite people, nestled in wine country—I feel like I’m dreaming. Somebody pinch me. :)

I have a plethora of details to still share, but it’s hard because they’re all coming together at the last minute. For example, I glued and bow-d over 200 corks for our escort cards, but the actual paper cards are with Mom Barrettes at her hotel.  Also, Mr. B constructed an amazing photobooth idea for me two days ago, but it won’t be ready to use until later tonight. Oh, and mom’s dress made mine! The final product is a hit.

Looks like I’ll have plenty to blog about while we wait for our pro photos!

Here’s a sneak peek:

Our favorite wine pourer in the Peju tasting room, Richie, said we are perfect together—he called Mr. B a “Roman warrior, re-incarnated over and over” and me a “spicy butterfly.” We always have the best time at our last tasting of the day.

Signing off as a Miss! In Vino Veritas—In wine is truth!

Yours Truly,

Miss Barrettes

Congrats! :) Can’t wait to see photos of the projects, especially the photobooth. (I thought the tasting room looked familiar - confirmed when I kept reading. Their Rose of Syrah rocks!)
