love me sa

{ picking up my dress from Sash & Bustle } We're less then 8 weeks out until our wedding day!!! I can't believe how fast it's sneaking up on us! It's bananas to think how quickly our engagement has flown by. I have so enjoyed being engaged, I can only hope being married is even half as sweet! With February 25th fast approaching, we're down to the details and trying to make sure everything is lined up ahead of the wedding (as best we're able...). There comes a point in planning, where you realize that the final day and design outcome lies in the hands of your vendors and you really just have to hope that things turn out as close to perfect as you've envisioned! Luck for us, we've put together a fabulous team and I have zero doubt they will pull everything off without a hitch! + + + + +  Most recent updates...

I've been noticing lately that the internet seems to have an overwhelming opinion that 2016 was a crappy year... Welp, not for me - I simply cannot relate!... 2016 was certainly one for the books, and I wanted to share some highlights and photos from the past year as well as a few things I'm looking forward to in 2017! :: Highlights from 2016 :: - ( obviously ) getting engaged and all the fun celebrations! - wine tasting in Kelowna - running my first 10km race - celebrating a bachelorette in Vegas  - learning to surf in Costa Rica (bucketlist, check!) - seeing the Lumineers live at an outdoor concert  - beginning to (genuinely) love pilates - trying the 14 course tasting menu at Buca Yorkville :: Looking forward to in 2017 :: - getting married!!! (I cannot wait to see D's face when he sees me in my dress) - figuring out a new exercise routine (ClassPass is changing things up in March) - lounging on the beach in Barbados with a husband (!) - meeting a friends baby who is due...

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe 2016 came and went so quickly. Even though time seemed to fly by, it was one of the most memorable years for me and I have a funny feeling 2017 is going to be the best year yet! It was our only holiday as 'fiances' so we tried to soak it all up over the holidays.  My sister and her boyfriend returned home from Australia just before Christmas and it was so great getting back to our holiday traditions and spending time with family and friends. I had some time off work and took full advantage of being able to sleep in, relax and spend time with D and my sister! We went for Mexican food on New Year's Eve and rang in the new year at home with champagne and a game of darts! I loved every second.   Hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday and happy new year! xx
