\n— Reserved a suite at the Fairmont<\/a> for “getting ready” with my bridesmaids (squee, girly fun!) and for the night of the wedding
\n— Booked my hair and makeup artist
\n— Ordered bridesmaids dresses from Jenny Yoo<\/a>. They’re a lovely pink color in silk shantung fabric. My Maid of Honor and I narrowed the choices down to 3 styles and each girl chose their own dress. See how pretty!<\/p>\n

— And lastly, we’ve ordered our invitations… they’re set to arrive in a month. I don’t think I can wait. I loooove staring at them… all metallic and shiny. Is it possible to be in love with stationery? Cause I totally am. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
In non-wedding news, I totally failed at my Lenten sacrifice this weekend because I ate ice cream both days. OOPS. It was totally worth it, though. :\/ Just LOOK!<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Rob, Diesel and I went to 4th Street in Berkeley. I wanted to go over to my little slice of heaven, aka Paper Source<\/a>, to get some inspiration for miscellaneous paper projects I have planned for the wedding. Weelll, no trip to 4th Street is complete without a stop at Sketch<\/a>. The owners, Ruthie and Eric, were former pastry chefs at Aqua<\/a>. They use produce\/fruits that are in season so everything is packed with flavor but never too heavy or too rich. It’s just perfect. I had the Strauss plain yogurt with cocoa nib topping (on the left) and Rob had the Cocoa Nib. Mmmm. I’m drooling right now thinking about it. We’ve also tried Earl Grey (sounds weird but it’s incredible), Raspberry sorbet (a bit tart but yummy), and Burnt Caramel (*drool*).<\/p>\n Today’s stop on the East Bay ice cream tour was Ici<\/a>, also in Berkeley. This store was opened by Mary, a former pastry chef from Chez Panisse<\/a>… I think I like this trend of pastry chefs leaving top restaurants if it means MORE ICE CREAM STORES! Rob and I waited a little over half an hour to get our ice cream but boy, was it WORTH IT. YUM-O. My treat (pictured above) was the Meyer Lemon (so light, so refreshing) and Chocolate Chip with a hand-rolled cone (the cone was so good and it had a chocolate tip!). Rob had the Chocolate Chip and Milk Chocolate Almond, which was also pretty spectacular. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other flavors, like Ginger, Honey Lemon, Coconut Sorbet, etc.<\/p>\n Diet? What diet? Heh. OOPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So… the wedding is in 5 months. !!! I’m not freaking out. Yet. \ud83d\ude00 We’ve actually been making some good progress in the past month.
