LENA KANG IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME

So last night, a small group of my friends went out to Sushi Sumo for the last time before Brent and I shipped out to our respective foreign countries. Dinner goes well, I had just ordered dessert (Mochi balls... yummmm), when Lena comes to sit down at my end of the table.

She says, "Do you want me to propose to you?"

"Umm. What?"

"Do you want me to propose to you?"

"Depends on what you're proposing."

Then she proceeds to whip out THIS:

No words.

Seriously, I was speechless for about 5 seconds because I couldn't believe the blingblastic thing in front of me. Lena had made my wedding bouquet!!! Out of vintage brooches that she shopped for individually! I couldn't believe it! She had apparently started buying brooches last year at various marketplaces and the bouquet took over 100 hours of actual labor to assemble. I know. RIDONKULOUS. I was seriously at a loss for words not only because of how gorgeous the thing was but also because I was just so touched and overwhelmed at how much effort and work Lena put into making this bouquet for me. Over 100 hours of labor? That's a lot of love. 


Now if I could only convince her to bake my wedding cake...... :)

One happy bride-to-be!

MOVE OVER MARTHA STEWART. LENA KANG IS GONNA GIVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONAYYY!

This might be a slight overkill.....

So yeah. Wedding bands are supposed to be simple and symbolic within themselves but......


CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL BAND FROM DE BEERS. Buh-LINGGGGG!!!!

Hubba hubba.

Just sayin'. :)

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhooooddddd.

We're having kick-ass weather out here on the east coast and I'm taking full advantage of it!

Yesterday four of my classmates and I decided to hit the courts for some rounds of tennis and minus a few awkward events (Colleen had to run off the court to beat the parking nazis to her car in order to avoid being towed; It was St. Patrick's Day and the whole campus was teeming with belligerant drunkards), everything went smoothly.

It's the day before our NYC trip and I still have so much to do! I am heading to work to finish all my weekend workload by today. I have to call Kleinfelds to request them to expand the guest maximum number to 7 (their max is 5), I'm supposed to meet Anneliese up for some one-on-one tennis time in the afternoon, edit and submit two papers, study sesh tonight til I pass out, and lose ten pounds by tomorrow (jk). Will the madness ever end? Oh wait. Yes it will. It's called SPRING BREAK!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!

Wedding stuff:

Cereal Cake. I might just make this one myself.

Mine would obviously incorporate Capn Crunch! Yum!

So I saw this and was immediately delighted. I mean, what could be better suited for a gangsta bride like myself??



I pity the fool.



Move it or lose it.

It's a dangerous world out there folks. We gotta protect ourselves. In style. :)



UPDATE:

I may have forgotten to mention that this Sunday I am attending my first ever Overeaters Anonymous meeting. I'm ready to take the first step to recovery and admit that I am an overeater! Updates on Sunday!

Details, Details, Details.

I present to you a bridal necklace by Charlotte Hosten.

Loverly.

Necklace as a belt. LOVE!

On a more random note, I found these FABULOUS chair back covers! I really didn't want to do the typical chair cover with a colored ribbon tied around it so these definitely piqued my interest!



Diamond centered rose chair covers.

Available in black or bling!

So polished!

How am I ever going to remember all these details? I'm glad that we're not hiring a wedding planner because he/she would totally be overwhelmed -- I have a new grand idea/theme every other day!!
