I recently added my up and coming videographer, Kolby of Aria Studios, on Facebook, and was introduced to her latest collection of wedding videos, ranging from ceremony highlights to movie trailers to love stories about the bride and groom.

Ta da! I am so excited to present to you my Boston engagement pictures!!!

Aloha Buds and Buddies, Dudes and Dudettes!
Just dropping you a note to say hi to all of you. Tuberose Dude and I are oh, just about three and a half months till the big day in June. To be more specific, 108 days! You’d think I’d be all set by now but as with most major events and projects, there’s always going to be something to be done. Still, at the tail end of our planning, I have loads of ideas, specifically DIY projects, which I’m excited to share with you all.

Some background info, in my favorite writing style: lists!
