Less than six months away, time to get serious . Quee?? JU SO FONII!!! Si, Babushka can be serious. Bueno, Ok, not so much be serious as "taking things seriously." And marriage I take seriously, I mean honestamente, it is my third...
Como saben, as y'all well know, My Capitan, Maria de los Angeles has been doing the honors of organizing the wedding. She's looking for venues, sponsors, dresses, and doing the whole Social Media Event. All suggestions/hookups/ideas are welcome and appreciated because she is one person handling a bigger than life persona. (Who is soooooooo grateful.) For my part, I am thinking about the wedding program, the words, the theme/tone of the day- of wedded life. This was prompted by Adriana Iris, author of La Dulce Vida ~The Sweet LIfe and her marvelous line:
What says you My Beautifuls? Do you agree with this? Do we lose ourselves when we become "one" with another? Should we only give what we get? What would you use as a quote? What should the program look like?
Y si, I want to hear from YOU, I am sharing the day with ALL of you.
Think of this as one big Cuban fiesta for the blogasphere.
Lively, loud, energized, passionate y very public- but not a media circus, no not a circus.
BB likes to think of it as a collaborative Conga line.
; )
Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.
P.S. My Capitan has started a hilarious Pinterest board titled Babushka's Wedding. Click on her name and it'll take you there.
ooh BB I hear a romantic tone in this post. heehee
ReplyDeleteNice pinterest board. I am following it.
Enjoy the planning stage.
heje si Letty, there's still some romance in these old bones. glad you like the board, i'm having fun following it too- you never know what Maria will post! ; )
DeleteGracias for coming by- BB2U
Felicidades! Mazel tov! (Got to get those all covered). What an exciting event to plan for. I look forward to hearing all the developments. And no, I don't think you have to lose yourself. Not in a healthy, trusting relationship. I thing love should give you the wings to be a better self.
ReplyDeleteMarissa

Enjoy the planning process! I don't think it's good to "lose your identity" when you get married but it is good to adapt to your new partner in life and the changes that take place when a marriage occurs. As for your program... I think a blue eyeshadow theme would be fab!
ReplyDeleteHey there Ashley, thanks for coming by! Blue eyeshadow theme? How cool and original is that???
Deleteheje i like, i like. BB2U
I dont think you should only give as much as you get. Is in giving that we teach and even get satisfaction and show how to love. As long as you are not been abuse or stepped on then do not measure your love against what you are receiving.
ReplyDelete"it is in giving that we teach" woah. me gusta eso- mucho.
DeleteThanks for commenting with such thought. BB2u
I actually really love the quote you have up!
ReplyDeleteheje thanks ilse, it is a good one right?

It's so exciting that you're sharing wedding journey with us! My brother has been married for seven happy years. According to my brother, his secret to his marriage is that both are supportive and understanding to each other, plus they have trust. Can't wait to read what flowers you will be using for your special day!
ReplyDeleteHola Isabel and thanks for always dancing w/BB. I like your brother's secret y sabes que? I think my wedding flowers will be secret too 'cause I have no clue!! Would love to use "native wildflowers" though if I do have flowers...

I am also following the Pinterest board and look forward to more pins. I don't know BB, maybe it's because el novio and I are having a rough few days. But right now I feel muy no-romantica. Being in a relationship is so hard, lucky for you though, your kids are grown and it is just you and him. I don't think you will even lose yourself for anyone...you are much to secure and special for that. I wish you love and understanding and mucho-mucho patience.
ReplyDeleteAy mujer- it's not always going to be romantica, at least THAT much I've learned after 2 marriages. PERO remember those immortal words- "You can't start a fire w/out a light", and who wants a relationship w/out a little chispa now and then? As far as being secure... a esta altura, it's not really about being secure, more like too tired to change. ; ) Special we ALL are- never, NEVER forget that. I think I've found someone who truly believes he's been gifted w/me and that in turn helps me to remember my specialness. Thank you for your beautiful wishes, I wish them back to you and KNOW that if you focus on what is fine,fun and fabulous in your relationship the romantica will return.

So happy for you!! Congrats again on your upcoming marriage!! After being married for 15 years I have to agree that you can not lose yourself in any marriage. I can't wait to see your wedding unveiled for all of your readers!!
ReplyDeleteMil Gracias Maria for always coming by and commenting. 15 years married? woah- i'm a hoping! Congrats to YOU!!!

I find that in my best relationships--with friends, my boyfriend, my family--they're most interested in seeing me be my best self, so it's not about losing yourself. Felicidades and have fun putting together the wedding. It's going to be fantastic. I'm going to Pinterest right now.
ReplyDeleteMs. Desiree I might need your vintage views on the wedding. Thanks for the comment- I'll be contacting you. BB2U
