Abount Hunger

When we first looked into wedding favors we came across many silly useless products.... so we looked into charity donations. We wanted to give something back to our community back to OakTown - East Bay baby!!! We started with our search with www.justgive.org and then narrow it down and selected Alameda County Community Food Bank.

Did you know each month, tens of thousands of low-income Alameda County residents cannot afford well-balanced meals for themselves and their families. Many never imagined they would need to request food assistance, but barren cupboards and empty pockets have led them to local soup kitchens and food pantries.

We have donated 1,000 meals on May 31, 2008 behalf of you. We hope you too will look into supporting your local or international charity organizations.

Paper Assembly Line

here's an image of the "Save the Date" assembly line... lots of stuffing and sealing - look out for paper cuts and don't forget to sort the English and Portuguese cards.

Monogram Shortbread Cookies

Finally i have some time now to update you on some of our fun wedding planning do's and don't and behind the scene...
Sweet Adeline Bake Shop in Berkeley have made my wedding cake and many other desserts that day such as Mango Cream Puffs and Monogram shortbread cookies. I have originally thought of making the cookies out out this custom rubber stamp design I've designed (see it... we're always leaning on each other hahahhaaa!!!) but it was unsuccessful... so i guess it will just be a rubber stamp.

Sale @ Gump's!?!

yep- i was the lucky one to walked passed the sales window last week and found Eva Zeisel's ceramic pieces for sale! i just couldn't believe it!!! her pieces are beautiful-- the graceful and sensual curves (you should see the water pitcher, it reminded me of my wedding dress) and i'm getting it at a sale price- i can't pass that up... so with out a doubt or a call to my new husband- i (we) bought a few vases and a sugar/cream set!!! i can't wait to have you over for tea time!

we are back!

so we're back....
i think some of you don't even know we have a wedding blog page... i guess we should of had our blog address bigger on the invitation. Anyhoo-- we're gonna do that on the thank you cards... maybe you just might to see yourself online or hear more about us (lovers!!-hahhaaa).
for those of you who came to our wedding -- a big thank you and we hope you had a good time, like we did... and for those who couldn't make it --- sorry you missed it and i hope this site will show you a little about what we have been up to and call me we should do lunch :-)
so we're back....
things are kinda back to norm... (we miss South America already) still got presents in our living room with no place to store it... we'll have to make some room in our closet or garage. i have all the wedding cards on display, so when we wash dishes in the kitchen we are reminded of your wishes :-) thanks! slowly we're catching up on bills and laundry - The next big task is to review our 1200 wedding pictures and over 2000 honeymoon pictures of South America... so lots to do.
