Studio Vincent.

Christian and I did a bit of wedding band shopping this weekend! I was excited to take him to one of my favorite Jewelers here in Minneapolis, Studio Vincent! I've been meaning to take him there for months but we kept putting it off (because it's one of those wedding things that CAN be put off, at least for a little longer then other wedding decisions)! What was crazy is, it was Studio Vincent's LAST day at their location (of 18 years), which we didn't know going in! I guess we have pretty good timing... They still have a Studio in the arts/warehouse district and you can make an appointment to visit but it was the last day of having a store.

Here is a link to Studio Vincent's blog and they are also on facebook, if you just do a search for 'Studio Vincent'. After some thought, I might want get a ring from them too! Are matching rings tacky or kind of nifty? (Yes, I said nifty.)

Let them eat CAKE (at our wedding)!!!!

So, the decision is made. Cake is good. Cake is pretty. We want Cake!!

We look forward to our appointment at Patisserie Angelica (featured in 'Brides Magazine' as The Best Wedding Cakes of the Year)!!

Our appointment is one day before my brother's wedding! We figured a little cake would be a nice way to start the day before my parents host a rehearsal dinner for my brother and his future bride!

Here is a link to the Patisserie Angelica website if you'd like to check it out!

This cake is from a 'real' wedding in Napa, CA!

Engagement Pictures

I think we are going to get our engagement pictures done soon. We have a call in to our wedding photographer, Michael B.! Maybe a few outdoor Spring shots since we are so excited for the Winter to be over and done here in Minneapolis!!! I hope to have them posted on our website so you can all enjoy them too...

Does anyone have a fun idea of what we can do for our shoot? I think it would be great if we could show off some of the cool Minneapolis scenery and maybe incorporate some of our wine country themes. Food for thought.

Registry 101

Yesterday Christian and I went window shopping at Macy's and Crate and Barrel for our future wedding registry! It was fun to look at all the cool stuff and think about all the possibilities, but it was also a bit daunting to realize we will soon have to make so many decisions!!! Wow, can you say overwhelming for this Libra Bride?!?! Not to mention the fact that I kept asking myself "Do we need that?" "Do we want that?" "Will we like this in 5 years? 10 years?" "Is that too trendy? Too boring?" "Will that work in any house?" Geez.... At least we agree that basics and simple designs will stand the test of time!! I guess you will just have to wait and see what we pick out... ;)
