here i am!
my first blog...
hello ladies!

after admiring all of your blogs and creative ideas i've finally decided to take the plunge and create my very first blog! yayayayayayay! i'm a little too excited about this.

let me tell you a little about me...

my name is amy and i'm an american ex-pat (i live in italy). on march 21st, 2009, i will marry my italian "fidanzato" francesco at the castle of the village where we first met.

fyi: just in case you were wondering (don't feel bad... EVERYONE asks) i met francesco AFTER i moved to italy...

francesco and i have been together for 5 1/2 years. we live together with our two VERY spoiled french bulldogs (penelope & gustavo), who will also be present at the wedding!

i've had a really hard time planning the wedding because even though i've lived here for nearly 6 years i'm still very american when it comes to my tastes in weddings! italian weddings are VERY traditional and heaven forbid they should have some new & fresh trends (heeheehee!).

the colors for our wedding are white, red & black (i can already hear the little old ladies gasping... in italy they think that black is only for funerals!)

let's just say that i'm going to SHOCK the heck out of the village on our wedding day! i can't wait...

bacio!
amy

Italy!!! I'm so jealous!! I want to visit there so bad someday...(maybe it's all that Dean Martin I've been listening to..I'm slightly obsessed with Dino) Moving on...yea I got a lot of grief from my grandma and whatnot when I told her my colors too (red, black, white) so it's not just in Italy where the colors are unheard of (and NO, I'm NOT goth!!! I just think they look sharp together!) Can't wait till she finds out my dress is white AND red!!! GASP!!! In fact, I bet it will shock a LOT of old people oh well-here is to being "different" I suppose! =) Welcome to Weddingbycolor let the addiction of constantly checking this website begin ; P haha

thanks ladies for the warm welcome!  

i'm excited to be here and to be able to share all of the details of the wedding without the fear of some info. being "leaked out" heeheehee!  plus i think it will be great to have honest (not malicious as on some other forums) feedback when i'm uncertain of something...
