The Magz Wed


My cousin Krystle FINALLY got married on Sunday.  And I don't mean that in a way that we thought she would never get married or anything.  It's just that this whole month of April has been dedicated to her and her special day.  I've seen her the most this month than I have in the last few years put together.  (That's actually sad, so I hope realizing that changes things.)  Besides her birthday, 1/4 was the wedding shower, 2/4 was her bridal shower, 3/4 was her bachelorette and the wedding made it 4/4.  Let's just say her bridesmaids were counting down just as much as the bride(zilla).. haha.

All teasing aside, the wedding was beautiful.  
The reception was at the Bel-Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades.  


Their hors d'oeuvres were to die for! I loved the mashed potatoes smothered with mushrooms, green onions, cheese, onion rings and truffle butter sauce..oh my! And if I could, I would have stuffed my face with the ahi tuna.  The food made up for the no alcohol and no dancing.  Though I did sneak in a small bottle of Moscato and used Ian to get my groove on by "lulling" him to sleep.  I'm surprised he got 2 naps in!

I wish I was able to take more pictures of Krystle's dream wedding 'cause everything was beautiful and matched her taste & personality.

Btw, Krystle is a floral designer, does candy stations and photo booths for all occasions.

Realization of the night- Weddings don't get to me anymore.  I don't envy the couple's love and think of what my special day would be like with my "perfect guy" that I totally made up.  Don't get me wrong, I look forward to getting married one day.  I guess it goes to show where my priorities lie at this time.  I'll say it over and over.  Ian is my number one.  I am completely immersed in my love for him.  I've never felt any love like it.  And just as couples marry and choose to commit themselves to one another, I am fully committing myself to Ian.  
Two take-a-ways from today:
1) Ian is growing up way too fast.  
He's not my little tiny baby anymore.  He's wearing a tie! 
aaand he's just as big as his 1 1/2yr old cousin.
Button down shirt: OshKoshB'Gosh Pants: H&M Baby
Tie: Children's Place Hat: gifted
Shoes (shown below): Carters

 2) #1 reason I'd want a boyfriend:
I need someone to always be there to take good pictures of me and Ian
.
True story- 
I've cried because my parents are incapable of taking decent photos of us.
So if you see pictures of me and Ian, you can guess that it took 10 shots
..or I used a tripod.



With that said, here's Ian's first bathroom pic/selfie.
I specifically got a Micky Mouse case so he'd look at the camera.
It works like a charm 'cause he LOVES Mickey.
