7 years later...#Babuboda

This was originally posted in March 2013. The reason BB's sharing it again? This week Babushka and Sweetie will be celebrating their 7 year wedding aniversario and, We're finally going on a honeymoon!!!  This is Babushka's 3rd matrimonio, a milestone on sooo many niveles. Hope you enjoy this paseo del pasado and are joining us on our cruise via FeibuTweety and IGrammy


 HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

 Do you remember Sweetie's reaction when I came back from Hispanicize last year? Bueno, looks like he gets nervous when I'm surrounded by so many Hunky Hispanos because this time he just said, "Let's Get Married."  No, not like the last time when he proposed/set a date, I mean "My mom is coming up here w/her best friend and I want to get married while she's here. At the courthouse."

Quee?? Pero what about #Babuboda you ask? JU SO FONII!!!  Ok si, I was looking forward to the party and seeing all my blogasphere besties and friends, but sabes algo?  When a 52 year old confirmed bachelor says he wants to get married you don't waste time- you get married!

At this point La Gallina Vieja took over. 
 #Babuboda was mine, but this at the courthouse thing was too simple and sublime for Babushka.  
And quiet!!  Oh my, the freezing winds were louder than the ceremony.

Still, the handpicked flowers from the yard, hung on the trellis with tulle-
the truth and gentleness of it.  
 And the true and gentle sincerity with which the vows were so assuredly repeated... 
how at this stage of life, love was ready to be declared and shared.




There wasn't a dry eye in the place.




Si, ok- it's loud and kinda My Spacey but BB had to put her spin on something in this wedding!! 


; )


A toast to Newlyweds and Love.
To the dreams they both inspire, seeing no age nor limit.  
Stronger than doubts and fears, may we always be in their Light.

Babushka besos a todos.  Cuidensen.


P.S. 7 years later...



Still with Sweetie. 
Somethings get better with time.

#Babuboda- Ya Gotta Have a Theme

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls! What do weddings,showers, and birthday partys all have in common? Quee?? JU SO FONII!!! Besides the stress, and them being fiestas. That's right, they gotta have a theme. So, you ready for #Babuboda's theme?  Aqui esta- here it is:



"A Celebration in the style of the 20's,30's, and 40's for a couple in their 50's"


October 1930 Hilda's Wedding.


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.

"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!"

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!!!
