Save the Dates!

Our Save the Dates, have been sent! It was quite a process but well worth it... they turned out quite lovely.

Our friend, Sabrina Ogle designed them for us as wedding gift. She was awesome to work with : ) She really understands what your looking for and turns into printed art!



I made the envelope liners... I couldn't find a paper I loved so I picked a pink base paper and an orange lace tissue.



Here is the finished product!

Valentine's continued...

Dave and I continued our V-day celebration on Thursday night.

We had dinner at Ruby Foo's and went to see Will Ferrell's Broadway show. It was fantastic!!

I'd always heard that Ruby Foo's was delicious and it did not disappoint!



Will Ferrell was hilarious! The show was 90 minutes long and we probably laughed for like 75 minutes of it. If you have a chance and you like/love Will Ferrell you should def try and go see it.

Valentine's Day 2009

Dave and I had a feast for Valentine's Day. I made Tyler Florence's Recipe for Beef Stroganoff, asparagus with roasted tomatoes, and a fresh berry gratin with whip cream.

Dave surprised me and sent flower's to my office on Wednesday so I could enjoy them for a few days.



Before: All of the fruits & veggies for the meal.



After: Our Valentine's Day Feast



Yummy Desert...

Snowy Days

It has been snowing the past few nights so we were finally able to build a snowman on the deck. I have been looking forward to this all winter : )

2008 Slideshow Elizabeth Medina

In her Happy New Year email, our photographer (Elizabeth Medina) sent over a link to her 2008 Wedding Slideshow. It is so amazing! I can't believe that she is going to photograph our wedding in 10 Months!

MyD Update

Happy New Year!

It's been a busy Holiday Season here in the Kelly/Lopez household.

We spent Thanksgiving in Miami with Dave's family and my Mom. We had a great time: we went to the beach, we hung out with Cienna, had a wonderful meal, and went to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.









We went on a cruise with my family! Had some family fun and got to do some wedding planning....

On the cruise we played miniature golf, attended Tea Time, and enjoyed Karaoke








While on the cruise we had our hotel tour, wedding tasting, and saw a flower prototype.







We've visited with friends.

Stayed with Lori, Damon, & Rocko.
Kim & Christina came to town.



Dave Pinzur spent the night and attended the salon holiday party downstairs.
Sarah and Adam came to dinner in Brooklyn.



And had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve with Friends! WE are looking forward to 2009...

Five Year-Olds With Sticks

Our Fall season ended on Monday night. We made it to playoffs, but we're knocked out int the first round... but don't worry there's always Winter Dodgeball to look forward to ; )

Saturday November 15th

This past Saturday was the 3 year anniversary of the first day we met. We celebrated by having a fun filled Satuday!

We started the day by going to the dentist and having our teeth cleaned (PS that new water pick they use is quite painful).



After the dentist, we headed to the apple store on West 14th street. While we where there, Dave bought me an iPhone as an anniversary gift! Which I am very excited about : )




We then headed across the street to POP BURGER for a snack...those little burgers are yummy! After POP BURGER, we headed back to Brooklyn to play with my new iPhone.

We ended the night by going to dinner at Chestnut in Carroll Gardens. When we there in October we weren't able to get the tasting menu due to Dave's allergies (nuts & shellfish). So this time we called ahead to give them a heads up... and it was well worth the 3 week wait! We also had the wine pairing with the tasting menu. Usually they give you about half a serving to go with your course, but the bartender here must have a heavy pour because I was barely able to keep up!



All in all, it was a great Saturday with the man that I love! If you want to read the story of how we met, please check out our wedding website under the tab called our story.

Happy Halloween

Cienna was coming into town from Miami and Katie & Jeff were coming down from Boston... so Dave and I hosted a Halloween Party/ Carroll Gardens Pub Crawl. It was a great time... here are some pics from the evening.

Dave and I dressed up as Lucy & Desi (or a couple from the cast of Mad Men).





Thanks for coming, friends!









I also won second prize in the costume contest at Angry Wade's. I didn't even know that there was a contest going on! A guy came up to me and asked me what I was dressed as and I said Lucy and he handed me an envelope. I won a gift certificate for $50 in free drinks (that's literally what the GC said).

Countdown Begins

364 Days until our Wedding!!!

Dave and I celebrated our -1 year wedding anniversary last night by dinning at Chestnut. We've been wanting to go there since we moved into Carroll Gardens in June. We've been saving it for this special occasion and we were not disappointed. It was delicious!

More Pics

We had originally wanted to wear more Fall inspired outfits, the weather did not cooperate. We did however have great lighting.

Here are some more pics from the shoot:

Brooklyn Bridge

E-Session 10-12-08

This past Sunday, Dave and I took our engagement pictures. We finally narrowed our locations down to Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge.

We met up with Agaton at 3 PM on Sunday. We had agreed to meet at the corner of 60th and 5th Ave but unbeknownst to us there was a parade. It took us a little while, but we finally found Agaton (he was the guy with the big camera around his neck). We were nervous about the photo shoot but after meeting Agaton, he made us feel completely at ease.


Here are a few of our favorites from Central Park...
