MOH received her MOH Invite
She said YES! :-)
Hello girls!

Been gone for a while with lots of rest and chilling with hubby from our anniversary on May 1st. Thank you all for the anniversary comments. You guys are so sweet!!!!

During our time together, we did mail off the Passport Invites on our anniversary. I also mailed off my MOH special purse invite. She received it a week later in Arizona and called me so excited. She previously knew about being my MOH,but I wanted to send her this with the invite as confirmation.

As noted in the invite, Hubby and I decided to pay for her 2 days and a massage with me on my special day. She said, "YES!"

We have 346 days left until our Maui, Hawaii renewals.

Let me pull my hair out. LOL Hubby has been so helpful with our Passport invites and Luggage Tags.

The tags will be the R.S.V.P's for our guest responses for the destination wedding. After printing them out and cutting, I noticed that we had the wrong dates on them for next year. YIKES!!! Darn it! We are exhausted now, LOL

Back to square one tomorrow.

We all wish we could move like Beyoncé. I was going over some video surprise dances and this is the one! I'M GOING TO DO THIS!!!!
(just kidding)...LOL We already have enough things going on for the reception already. BUT, WHO SAYS THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN?

Only in the privacy of our condo in Maui. Heehehee I will be learning this routine and surprise my hubby that evening when we are finally alone.... Okay, I need to purchase me a long wig and a fan!

Warning, the video starts off sideways, but eventually it straightens up after a minute.

Enjoy ladies

For Our Sparkler Walk
Hubby and I separated the pack of sparklers into twos for the tagging and ribbon process yesterday. Each guest will get 2 of 36 inch Sparklers. Our monogram was done by our WBC sister Shannypoohdesigns aka MrsHtobe. Hubby and I made up the verse to our special Sparkler Walk.

The 36 inch sparkler last approximately 3-3 1/2 minutes, you only need 1 or 2 per guest!
The 3-4 minute “sparkle” time for each 36 inch wedding sparklers allows you to light the sparklers, arrange the guests and still have time for the perfect sendoff!

I want a second dress! Are you getting one for the reception?

Flipflops images
~Our Renewals~
I haven't found my special gown yet and I'm thinking about a second dress already. LOL We are doing the island destination wedding and that will be in a formal type of gown. We are doing Trash The Dress, afterwards during our pictures on the beach. So....I would love to find a reception dress similar to the photo here. I am in LOVE with it! I know I can work this baby! Hehehehe

A year and counting down starting next month. I'm gonna find this!

Have you considered doing another dress for your reception?

Our Sparklers Ordered!
Knowledge: Things you should know about them!

Flipflops images
~Our Renewals~
After almost ending our alone time away this weekend, we were looking into Wedding Sparkler websites. He really likes the idea of having a Sparkler send off, but we are not sending off because we are having an island destination wedding renewal. I would rather and love to do a Sparkler Walk with our 28 guests after we have our ceremony, mini reception/dinner/dancing and THEN THE late night walk on the Maui Beach together afterwards. Hubby likes that too!

We been through many websites over the past year, determining which one was the best one to go with.
Knowledge time: All Wedding Sparklers are steel wired and most of all I didn't even know that they are smokeless! Yayy!
They come in various sizes of 10 inch (like 4th of July ones), (20 inch), and (36 inches). I thought that this reference guide was quite helpful for the amount given and the length burning time for what we are trying to do. We ended up ordering the 36 inch wedding sparklers.
The 10 inch Sparklers
Each 10 inch Sparkler lasts approximately 30-45 seconds. Plan on having at least 5 sparklers per guest to prevent a send-off line with guests who have used all of their sparklers too soon.
The 20 inch Sparklers
Each 20 inch sparkler lasts approximately 1 1/2 minutes. For weddings with over 100 people, plan on having 2-3 sparklers per guest.
The 36 inch Sparklers
Each 36 inch sparkler last approximately 3-3 1/2 minutes, you only need 1 or 2 per guest!
The 3-4 minute “sparkle” time for each 36 inch wedding sparklers allows you to light the sparklers, arrange the guests and still have time for the perfect sendoff!

Hubby and I like this....

I wanted to do something a little different then your usually sand /unity candle ceremony...A bride on another blog suggested this to me and I love it!


BRIDE, please face GROOM, and hold his hands, palms up, so you may see the gift that they are to you.

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as he promises to love you all the days of his life.

These are the hands that will work along side yours, as together you build your future, as you laugh and cry, as you share your innermost secrets and dreams.

These are the hands you will place with expectant joy against your stomach, until he too, feels his child stir within you.

These are the hands that look so large and strong, yet will be so gentle as he holds your baby for the first time.

These are the hands that will work long hours for you and your new family.

These are that hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes: tears of sorrow and tears of joy.

These are the hands that will comfort you in illness, and hold you when fear or grief wrack your mind.

These are the hands that will tenderly lift your chin and brush your cheek as they raise your face to look into his eyes: eyes that are filled completely with his overwhelming love and desire for you.

GROOM, please hold BRIDE hands, palms up, where you may see the gift that they are to you.

These are the hands of your best friend, smooth, young and carefree, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as she pledges her love and commitment to you all the days of her life.

These are the hands that will hold each child in tender love, soothing them through illness and hurt, supporting and encouraging them along the way, and knowing when it is time to let go.

These are the hands that will massage tension from your neck and back in the evenings after youve both had a long hard day.

These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times.

These are the hands that will comfort you when you are sick, or console you when you are grieving.

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.

These are the hands that will hold you in joy and excitement and hope, each time she tells you that you are to have another child, that together you have created a new life.

These are the hands that will give you support as she encourages you to chase down your dreams. Together as a team, everything you wish for can be realized.

Bless these hands that you see before you this day.

May they always be held by one another. Give them the strength to hold on during the storms of stress and the dark of disillusionment.

Keep them tender and gentle as they nurture each other in their wondrous love.

Help these hands to continue building a relationship founded in grace, rich in caring, and devoted in reaching for your perfection.

May GROOM and BRIDE see their four hands as healer, protector, shelter and guide.

Flipflops images Rodrhonda4ever's new blog for her upcoming 15th Wedding Anniversary for 2014. You never know, it might be done sooner than that! I've started this newer blog because my other blog has well over 19 pages, LOL. Our May 2014 wedding will be more intimate, private by invitations only. Not large than the other 3 weddings we had. This is my husband, Rodrick's dream this time, an Island Wedding. He wanted it to be red and black, but I talked him into the tropical colors of Fuschia and Ivory. Possibly with some accents of lavender, orange and lime greens. We shall see? Incorporated in the decor will be shells, pearls with a touch of vintage love and some bling.
