Any travel tips for Hawaii?
hmm...we could save a ton of $ by going to Hawaii instead of Europe. Despite my love affair with Europe, neither Mike nor myself has been to Hawaii and the flights are MUCH cheaper.

And the Canadian $ is stronger to the US $ than to the Euro.
And I've been to Europe twice. Though I would NEVER get sick of it!!!
And a sandy beach would be fantastic.
And I'd love to go surfing again (I went in Australia).
And I like pineapple.

hmmm...

Any suggestions for hotels, attractions, beaches?

Wedding Invitation
"I need another favour, Uncle Rick!"
I'm going to ask him to address our invites. His writing is gorgeous. I was going to take a Calligraphy course and do it myself but I can't seem to find any in the Vancouver area. I'm not disciplined enough to learn out of a book. I'd prefer a course.

Wedding Invitation
Our beautiful invitations from Papeterie.com
My Uncle Rick just called and offered to pay for our invitations for my upcoming birthday gift!!!!!!!!!

Originally, I asked him to create them. I thought it would be a great sentimental keepsake. He's an amazing artist and teaches at the University on Vancouver Island. But he's busy with his teaching and he says, "Why reinvent the wheel?".

Here's his website if you're interested in fine art. http://rickconroy.com/

So, we're ordering these invites to match our website on mywedding.com

Ask a Question
How many babies do you want to have?
My ticking clock has got me daydreaming about having babies with Mike! I always thought that I'd only want one or two but now I'm thinking more like four! However, I don't think it will happen due to my age (almost 36) unless i have quadruplets or two sets of twins. Hey, you never know...in one year's time you might turn on the TV and see Mike and I with our quadruplets on a reality TV show! yikes!

So, what about you? Is your clock ticking? How many kids (if any) do you want to end up having with your FH?
babies

Ask a Question
What is your idea of an inexpensive, romantic date?
I was reading a few blogs and it seems we all need to keep the dates alive!

Let's brainstorm and come up with inexpensive date ideas. What's your favorite date?

My personal fav is to make Mike dinner, light candles, set the table and play Classical music or Edith Piaf. Afterwards we cuddle on the couch and watch a video.

Honeymoon
London! Paris! Marseille! Cinque Terre! Rome!
I think I am more excited to plan the honeymoon than I am the wedding...if that is even possible!!! We're hoping to do a European tour. We were going to do something local but we hope to have kids right away and it will be our only chance to do a big trip with just each other. I've been to Europe twice and I LOVE IT! But I have never been to Marseille, Cinque Terre or Rome. So there will be new and exciting experiences awaiting us!
Now we just need to $ave, $ave, $ave!!!
