You like? Cutisimo right?? And the possibilities!! 

Of course BB doesn't see herself as the bride above, in her mind she's more like-

unfortunately that's from the 50's so it doesn't go.  But I did find plenty that did.

Babushka went Pinterest Crazy; here are some examples of the different eras.

For you Beautifuls attending:

Oh! And one more thing- to join in the fun, all guests are to be in black/white.

"But BB" you say. "I'm not going to have time to sew or have a seamstress to make my outfit"  

To which BB says, "Never fear for we have found the perfect gown for you!"

My dear Amiga Desiree Browne, the Vivacious Vixen of Vintage, via her blog Pop-o-matic Deluxe

is wonderfully sharing her 20% to eShakti-a place you can get gowns custom made for you.

Her generous discount is only until the 20th of March so hurry!

Some of the vintage styles suggested by Desiree are:

Si, yo se- I know.  The last one isn't black/white.  

But it's Miami, a splash of color- 

ONE SINGLE SPLASH 

is acceptable and I'm excited to see what everyone decides it should be.  

QUE FUN!!

Make way Miami, My Beautifuls are on their way and LOOKING GOOD!!!

Six Months- Day 9 of SMCSF 30 Day Challenge

As of the 15th of October, it is officially six months until my wedding.  Oh my.  Queee?? JU SO FONII!!! Of course I don't have anything planned.  As it is, to have an actual date was a surprise to Babushka.  Now you know the juiciness of all this?  That it really doesn't matter to me.  Ok si, my heart, the part of us that never grows old is getting all nervous  with arrangements- or lack thereof, while the mind says, "What? Otro? Didn't you have enough with two?!?!?"  ::SIGH::  Party Pooper.

En realidad I did the hardest part, finding the man who I'd want to take a chance with again.  Someone who'd put up with my craziness, my messiness, my Cubaness, and love me totally because and inspite of all that.  A man who knows and respects my dreams- as both BB y the Gallina Vieja,-and who does all he can to help them become reality; all this is my Sweetie.

Lindo Verdad?

Now this is his first marriage/wedding and all he asked for was it to be fun.  Bueno, LegoLand apparently didn't like or understand the idea of a Social Media wedding so at that point BB was in shock- and here I got very lucky.  My capitan, Maria de Los Angeles agreed to be my Maid of Honor.  It is BB who's honored.  She's going to come up with the fun- and who better?  Couldn't be in more capable hands and I look forward to her spontaneity and inspiration. 

 And her Cuban Craziness. 

 Si, as if I had planned it myself.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  Both Maria & Babushka have Pinterest pins w/wedding ideas- go take a peek and let us know whatcha think.
