Miss Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CAAge and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web DesignerFiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain PatrolEngagement Date: February 25, 2009Wedding Date: January 2010Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ RanchAbout 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.
OK, so I can truly say that every time I read abut brides being so attached to their invitations I thought they were crazy. Until — I became one of them!
When we sent our Save the Dates I was so relieve that the task was done and maybe just because they were not much work I had no feelings when we let them go. But…

As I shared in my last post, everything was very last minute for our engagement shoot, but everything seemed to work out so perfectly. I could not have been any happier about our photographer Cat’s idea of shooting at Union Station, in downtown LA. It was a pretty rainy (actually, stormy) day, but due to Mr. Poodle’s schedule, we just had to do them that…

Remember how I actually made another dress for our e-session? I teased with the fabric here, and I showed off the dress here. This is what it looks like:
Well, after realizing that my wedding dress didn’t fit, I ran to try this dress on, and well, it was just as uncomfortable as my wedding dress.

Last weekend I finally tried on my handmade wedding dress to show all of you how it looks like on me. Well, I ran into a very unpleasant surprise: It does not fit comfortably, like it did when I made it.
My idea from the beginning was to make a very very comfortable dress, because I LOVE to dance, and was…

Remember this post? I showed you all how I packed all of the Kusudama flowers that my mom and sister helped me fold while I was still living in Chile.
Well, that little box transformed into this little bag a week before Curly and I came to California. I had to get rid of all the extra weight, including the box of the flowers!

The very first time found Weddingbee was while I was searching for inspiration for our invitations. While researching through the blog I found several amazing invitations, and a weird word to me at that time! It was Gocco. I wanted that little machine so badly! Not just because I wanted to have DIY invitations, but because I loved the freedom you had to design, plus…

When we first started our visa process I never imagine this journey was going to be at times so frustrating and bumpy.
Today we finally sent our AOS (adjustment of status) package out!! and even thought we have no idea how long this process is going to be, we know that this time we will be waiting together. We are legally married, living together, waking up…

Last week Groomsman Will invited us over to his place because he had tons of wood that he wanted to split (for us and himself) to use as firewood and also (from my previous requests) for wedding crafts!!!
So, I carefully picked all of the pieces I thought we could use for some of the many wood-related projects I have in mind. They tried…

The first time I saw this guestbook over at the Classic Bride blog, I fell in love with the Tree Guest Book with thumbprints idea! How cool would it be to have such a personal stamp from every one of our guests?

YES! Today, after a five-month search, I got these in the mail:
If you remember, months ago I shared my idea (actually, my dream) of wearing purple cowgirl boots the day of my wedding. Well, in that post I got a lot of help from readers who shared places and brands I could take a look at. I found some that were really close to what…

Remember when I shared the positive side of having our wedding postponed until April? Well, one of the positive things was that we were going to have time to make Save the Dates!!!
I have to confess that ever since I discovered what STD meant, I’ve been obsessed with making and sending our own. Thanks to the fact that we do have time now to send…

This past Thanksgiving was my very first dia de accion de gracias ever, and it was awesome! Not just because of the amount of food we ate (Yes! I am a big food lover) but because we celebrated this holiday at our wedding venue, aka Mr Poodle’s grandparents’ ranch.
We got to hang out with the family and cook loads of food, and we also…
