April Fool's!

I didn't pull any fun april fool's joke on anyone...I hope others were able to today...
Can you believe it's already been one year since this:

Happy Anniversary to my one-year old husband!

our very own tea ceremony

I got a few belated wedding gifts from friends this past month, and I thought I'd share since they are such wonderful gifts....First up this delicious tea set and of course, awesome tea.  I've always wanted a blossom tea set!  And those cute round cups with the flowers are insulated, so it doesn't get hot to the touch at all.  Form and function; it's a beautiful thing.

a quick trip to Upstate NY

We were up in Warick, NY for the weekend to attend my husband's good friend's wedding. It was fantastic weather, good food, great people, and lots of fun. They held it at this little place called Chateau Hathorn - a cozy and warm bed and breakfast overlooking rolling hills and beautiful green landscape. A few pictures from the event: From the top: (1) the bride and groom with the groom's family, the very hospitable Timmels (2) hubby and me all dressed up (3) our "mr. and mrs." table setting ♥ (4) the g.g.gorgeous wedding cake

wedding announcments

These were wedding announcements which were sent out to friends and family who are abroad. Of course, hand-made. Though I used a punch out for the dragonflies used on the lower left corner. I used different whites and off-whites, but unfortunately you can't really see that in the picture.

Ghetto Fabulous

The pictures from the Graceland chapel that we ordered finally arrived! Excitement! Here is the most killer of all photos. Klassy. Wouldn't you know it that the inside of the chapel would be all champagne gold, just like my dress?

That would be Minister Elvis and us in front of the alter.

Las Vegas Part Deux

Due to the uber expensivo Wi-Fi @ the hotel, I have not had the chance to update the blog as frequently as I would have liked to. So sorry! We will be flying back tomorrow, so I will start massive uploads as soon as I get home. Two more pix for now from the wedding. And for those skeptics still out there, it was NOT an April Fool's joke! :) Gotcha though.

Yup, it's for real guys.

Here are the rings to prove it!

WE'VE FINALLY DONE IT!!

For those of you I lied to, forgive me! I wanted to keep it sooo very very quiet until the very end. I would have hated myself to ruin it at the eleventh hour. NEway, behold, the lovely Mrs. Kawamura!! We are in Las Vegas BABY~ staying at the lush Wynn Encore hotel. We're here with just family - small and intimate wedding - more pictures to come. Enjoy for now!
