PINK?

Found this beautiful image board from All Things Lovely....

RED?

I always thought of doing red because it is good luck for the Chinese but too much of it is....well, too much. But these sure are pretty....

So my mom has always wanted me to get braces, I said no. Once, I asked Terence, you don't think I need braces do you?

Silence. Uh oh.

Me: You think I need braces?

Terence: Um, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Me: *Silence*

So Terence has this whole issue with his flexible spending dollars going to waste last year so we agreed that I should get braces. So I did. Yesterday I got Invisalign and was in pain all day. It sucks.

I joke with Terence that I need to do this so that my fiance will love me and find me attractive.

He is NOT amused.

Berkeley....through Terence's eyes

Last weekend, I flew up to SF and took Terence to Berkeley. He had been through it once or twice but not through my eyes. I realized most my favorite spots were food places. After meeting my cousin and her daughter Megan (for her to try on the BM dress)--Terence asked me if there was anything else to see but food spots. I scratched my head. Nope. That's it. Of course I took him to my favorite spot. Actually we went back twice.

Top Dog. Oh, if you went to Cal, you know it.

We then met up with Victoria, the only bridesmaid Terence had not met. We went to Sushi House in Alameda and it was oh so yummy!

Actually I think our highlight of the weekend food wise was the mahi mahi sandwich we had at the Farmer's Market at the ferry building after our morning run. It was so good, Terence and I were making orgasm sounds and there was this garbanzo bean salad that was so good, we kept sucking on it trying to determine the ingredients. We figured it out and recreated it for SND.

Oh I love that Terence loves food as much as me and cooks like a professional chef. I am a lucky girl.

Jerry Yoon, our star photog---an artist in every sense

I realize I haven't talked about our photog, he's totally awesome (brought to us by Sandy, one of my bridesmaids). Of course, we toyed with the idea of having Terence shoot his own wedding--he liked the idea of a cardboard cutout of himself. Somehow he couldn't sell me.

We interviewed a whole bunch and it was our first decision that we made, we basically planned our wedding date around Jerry's availability. When we met, we had a two hour long conversation about the angst of the creative process, which is wonderful--Terence and I looked at each other and were like "he's the one." He cares about not keeping to complacent or comfortable with his art. And he wants to shoot a green wedding. Then there is the fact that his shots are so good, it takes you a minute to figure out what the image is. Jerry is so talented, it makes your teeth ache. Like this shot.

Or this shot:

When you see his stuff, you'll see why. And Jerry was so great to work with us re our budget because honestly, he was out of our reach by just a little. Jerry, you're the best, thank you! Jerry Yoon.
