Wedding Wednesday: We Are Getting Hitched

1 Mins read

In late October, I proposed to Fatima, adding another chapter to our 5-year story in the making. And now, we are getting hitched…THIS YEAR!

When I was shopping around for ring, I casually asked Fatima her ring size. I think she was too stressed with her CPA exam to question my question, so she just looked at me and said, “It’s a 7, you should know that.” So what did I do? Made sure the ring that I got was a size 7. And what happened? The ring slipped right off her finger because she’s a size…5! Luckily the Diamond District in NYC is fantastic and can resize a ring in about 30 minutes, however, I don’t recommend watching, it’s very stressful once they start hammering and throwing the ring into fire.

We are getting hitched

Why did we wait so long to post about it? I’m not sure. We wanted to tell our families first, our friends, and then start planning – which somewhat took over our lives for a few weeks. Now that we have a few things pinned down, we can start posting about our progress 🙂

In the meantime, follow our Wedding Ideas board on Pinterest!

Creating a 10-Year Anniversary Photo Album: A Sentimental Gift

3 Mins read
To celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary, we treated ourselves to a summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. However, I wanted to get another little something for Fatima. We have a big gallery wall and some photos around the house, but not many photo albums. I thought maybe I could design an anniversary photo album that captured the last ten years of our time together, our travels, and our kids. I went to my go-to printing service, mpix, to design a book.

10 Years Later: Revisiting Our Wedding Registry & Modern Must-Haves

4 Mins read
Oh the Wedding Registry. Over the last 10 years, things have changed. When we started the registry, we built it with practicality at the foundation. While we were building our registry at Macy’s and Bed Bath and Beyond (RIP and hello again), we were encouraged to “throw everything we could scan on there”.  I went to locate our registries to remind myself what we selected, but they’ve been lost to the internet coffins. Not to fear! I can figure out most of our registry by looking around the house.

Rediscovering Our Wedding: Developing Film Rolls 10 Years Later

2 Mins read
For the kids at our wedding, we put together these little fun bags. We included a scavenger hunt and a disposable camera. We thought it would give the kids fun thing to do and help us capture some moments during the reception. We never developed those film rolls until very recently.
