Yesterday Joe and I went and saw “My Bloody Valentine” at the mall. Now I am not usually much of a horror movie buff (Joe loves them) but I was intrigued by it being 3-D. Now after seeing the movie I think all movies should be 3-D it was awesome!!!!
It literally was as though things were coming right at you, I Loved it. Now I know that this movie isn’t good for kids or young ones, being rated R. But if you like horror movies I recommend checking it out.

There is another Disney movie coming out this summer that will be 3-D can’t wait. I am also almost wanting to see the Jonas brothers 3-D concert even though I don’t know much about them

Here are some pics of Joe and I in our cool new 3-D glasses….

We were so excited to be accepted as part of the modern photographers blog. They don’t accept just anyone it is some of the best modern photographer in the country and we are proud to be one of their exclusive members.

We have more good news coming, I am just afraid if I publicly announce it, I will jinks it

Enjoy the snow and call or email if you need to set up an appointment, this month our office hours are a little more limited because I am actually taking a little time to relax, rejuvenate and redo some of our house, so call before you stop by the office

I came across this website the other day and thought I would post it for all you women who have a slightly forgetful husband or boyfriend. It is the perfect thing to put in his wallet

With many engagements happening over the holidays and new years I wanted to throw out a few planning sites that can help you get creative with details, show you what other brides are doing and answer some of your questions

The first is a new favorite of mine, they have soooo many cute ideas and real weddings that are spectacular.

One of my favorite posts on the blog is http://www.weddingchicks.com/blog/2008/12/4/vintage-for-less.html
If I was planning my wedding all over again I would look here for a dress, I love the vintage feel and they are beautiful not to mention inexpensive I may just buy one to wear around the office

Then there is also the knot which has been around for a while, but they have great ideas, photo galleries, message boards to be able to ask girls in your area questions, etc. They also have magazines that come out twice a year and are geared towards your state.

This past Friday was Karen and Matt’s wedding day in Chicago. And although this is the first of 2009 weddings, it feels like the last of the season because we don’ t have another wedding scheduled till wedding season starts back up in April….
so to tide you over this will be a really long post, I apologize in advance

So here we go, enjoy!

Introducing the Girls…

We did a few outside photos, I must say it was a little chilly, but they were all troopers…

Then a little warm up at starbucks..

Now on a cold day in Chicago where else would you go for some fun photos???????

How about…

let me introduce the guys…

I made them wait till these two fish swam back around, they had been swimming around the tank together the whole time we were there, so I just assumed they were married fish

The reception was a BeauJolie, which was beautiful inside..

This was part of the place seating card, how clever, great job Matt…

I don’t normally post cake photos, but I liked these..

They do this huge production for their bananas fosters, it was so much fun, and it was great tasting as well….

Karen and Matt, we had such a great time at your wedding, we wish you nothing but the best in your future, have a great honeymoon

Comments always keep us warm on these cold winter days
