383 Days until the wedding...
Hello all!!

So this weekend was so very productive! On Friday, Chris and I visited Bird Design, the agency he worked for before Sony, to talk about concepts for our invitations. We brought in a whole mess of magazine clippings and we think we might end up with something really cool. More on that later.

Then on Saturday, Deborah, who flew down from SF for the weekend, Mandy, Chris, Mom, Dad and I drove over to Cerritos to check out Lehngas at Sona Chaandi dress shop. Amazingly, the first dress that Deborah tried on ended up being Mandy and Deb's favorite! All we did was change the color. So the dresses are ordered and it will take 6-10 weeks for the fabric to be dyed and the embroidery to start.

And in case anyone wanted to read about it...A little history about the Sari as well

Finally on Sunday, Chris and I took our engagement photos. We started at the Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. One of the guards actually stopped our photographer because they thought we were taking commercial shots :). Then we headed over to Leo Carrillo beach, just north of Malibu and hopefully captured the most AMAZING sunset. We should get those back in a week or two. Hopefully some of them come out ok. Chris spent most of the shoot readjusting my hair because of the wind :)

That's all for now. Next steps are my dress, floral ideas and getting the save the dates together and shipped out!
