Miss Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.
About Miss Poodle

So, after the last minute crafting, we finally made it to the beach. We unpacked all of our things, met with our friends and family and rushed to the shore to pose for our groomsman’s camera!

He said I could have all of the pictures if I let them have Mr. Poodle one weekend a month (gosh, they are so funny!) and because I agreed... here some of the pics!!

About Miss Poodle

With just two days until our legal ceremony, I had the (last minute) great idea of making leis for all 16 of our guests. My love for origami shined when we decided the kind of leis we would be making. It was kind of crazy to fold all of those origami flowers by myself so I asked for help from Bridesmaid K, since we were going to have dinner at her place anyway. So, I packed all my supplies and hoped she would help us.

The Poodles Make It Legal: The Dress

Some time ago I asked you all for help to look for inspiration for my dress, but in the end I only made the dress for our e-pics. Things got really crazy with the move, so I couldn’t even start on the dress I had planned for this occasion.

Because my first attempt at finding a budget-friendly, casual beach wedding dress from a store was not…

The Poodles Make It Legal: The Plan

November 12th, 2009 @ 6:51 pm by Miss Poodle

Because of our K1 Visa, we need to be legally married within 3 months of me entering the country. We decided we wanted to do that as soon as possible so that we could move on to the next step of our Immigration Process AOS (Adjustment of Status).

The idea was to go to a courthouse with a few family members and sign all the papers,…

The Flight Into Mr. Poodle’s Arms

I am not going to lie, this trip was not the easiest one I’ve taken. There were so many emotions blended together. But unlike any other, I was so calm and relaxed (I think I used my stress and anxiety quote of the month the last two weeks… hehe).

How to Travel with a Wedding Dress

In the first stages of our planning I researched different options for traveling with a wedding dress.

Well that’s a really good option, but a couple of things came to mind:

Engagement Session Talk

In Chile couples don’t usually do engagement photography sessions. What a bummer, huh?
