Yes, I know I'm nearly 4 weeks late but in my defense, I have a wedding to plan! We are six weeks out and things are getting crazy! To bring everyone back up to speed, I am getting married in March at Pen Ryn Mansion and between all of the vendor meetings, menu planning, gift registering, rehearsal dinner choosing and honeymoon planning, there really isn't a whole lot of energy to focus on work! This is not to say I haven't been working, I have. Normally I spend January working on albums and orders and regular old catching up.

I didn't have any weddings in January this year so I did take advantage of the time to try to tie up many of the loose ends for my wedding. As the date approaches, I'll blog more wedding-related posts since I know you can all relate. I have gotten so many ideas from former and future clients so thank you all so much for your help and for caring about our big day! It really means so much.
I'll leave you with an image from our low-key New Year's Eve celebration. We enjoyed New Year's with friends in our apartment. Living in New York City, it can be more stress than it's worth to try to find a restaurant, bar, club, etc. on New Year's so we decided to cook and enjoy the company of our friends instead. It was much more tolerable this year than previous years when we have done the whole "going out" thing. Here is Jeff at midnight :)

Last night we celebrated my fiance, Jeff's, birthday at Sushi Yasuda in midtown. I have gotten out of the habit of taking a camera with me when we go places but Jeff has been encouraging me to take more pictures for myself not just for work so I took a camera last night and I'm glad to have these pictures of him on his birthday.


I am a self-declared sushi novice so I was a little nervous about going to such a great sushi place and ordering regular old rolls not to mention insulting the chef. I decided to try a few pieces of sushi and to my surprise, I really enjoyed them (phew!).

I had spent most of the morning trying to bake a 7 layer cake. Jeff has been asking for a 7 layer cake since he was little (so the story goes). I thought he would be really surprised if I actually pulled it off. I didn't even own cake pans so I knew this may prove a bit difficult but for some reason I was confident I could pull it off.
The 7 layer cake turned into a one and a half layer cake after the first 2 layers essentially crumbled out of the pans but look how happy he was! I think he just thought it was ridiculous that I even tried. Oh well, maybe next year. Happy Birthday, Jeff!!
