Everyone I love, I love in groups:

The men in my life: Jason and Jelly {our puppy :0) }, my friends Leidy & Laura, my most important people...Mami, Mama and Manito (my mom, g-ma and big brother) and I introduce you to the most important 3:

The reason for this post is Wednesday I was informed my grandmother had suffered a heart attack. She's stable and thay're giving her a tune up but God! was that a scare. Last year my grandfather died, and I hadnt spoken to him for over a year before that happened. No bad blood I just kept putting off calling him until it was too late. Now my grandmother is the only one I have left and I hadnt spoken to her in over a month. This is my second chance and I'm taking it! She promised me 26 more years and I'm holding her to that! {she's 84}...take that as a sign, call your loved ones before it's too late.

Bring in the Ringbearer!!!!!!!!!

Now that we've gotten official confirmation I'd like to introduce you to Jaden, our ringbearer! He is my FH's, cousin's son...got that? lol

Mr. Jaden hails all the way from Bradenton, Fl and will be accomplianing my cousin's daughet, Alana, down the aisle...kids are so freaking cute! My planis to have both of them formally dress with a twist...maybe some Chuck Taylors?

I'd like to introduce...Me!

Hi All!! (picture me waving) Deep breathe now...I've comtemplated over and over about whether to make this blog anonymous or not and am still unsure if this is the way to go...I know people are quick to label or assume and I wanted people to just read and enjoy just because it's good reading! But I decided maybe with a little back ground you would be able to appreciate this journey more... I'm 24 years young, originally from NYC (Queens) and currently living in Florida. I'm a product of divorce, have my bachelors in psychology, work as a bankruptcy paralegal, and love studying people. This is what I hope to be my one and only wedding. I am putting my all into the planning, am constantly planning, researching and thinking of ways to make it fabulous because I NEVER PLAN TO DO THIS AGAIN!

Mr. D is my complete opposite... he is the product of Cuban immigrant parents have been married for 30+ years since they were 17, and he is the youngest of 3. He's completely laid back...works, comes home and relaxes and isnt stressed at all over this wedding. I COULD PULL HIS HAIR OUT! lol We met during Hurricane Irene my Sophomore year of college in '05 and have been inseperable ever since. He was immediately accepted into my family and circle of friends and that, of course, helped us get to this point. When our relationship started I was anti everything expected of a woman of my culture (I'm Dominican) I refused to cook, clean after any man, or give up my name... and here I am now with burn marks from cooking him awesome meals!!, currently doing laundry as I type lol and looking forward to being the future Mrs. D. I can honestly say he's made me do a complete 180...

This was us back in 2006

(what a handsome man!!)

This is us in 2008

(clockwise: us in the Bahamas in '08, in NYC for the first time in '07,
at a wedding in 06', and in downtown Orlando in '08)

So there you go..what do you think?? This is my husband to be, my best friend, my homey. I love this man...Oh and you must meet our son!! Yes, with this great figure I am also the mother of a 2 year old!

His name is Angelo, and he's a rockstar

have you met a part of my bridal party??

Let me introduce you to 2 of my girls. they're my linesisters (I'm a sister of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.) my best friends and my family and will eventually also have the added titles of my bridesmaids:




To the left is my P.lo, my Giantic Mexican and my MOH and to the right is my Little Leidy, my tiniest friend and sister from another mother, they have been there for me for the past 4 years and counting and I heart these girls. Having them in my wedding, next to me as I make the biggest commitment to day is an undescribable honor and pleasure. I heart you guys!
