My Induction to Wedlock


Wedding date: October 29, 2010
It happens to be my grandma's birthday.
R.I.P. Lola Geli

My husband and I had a long distance relationship for a little over two years. We mutually came to a decision for me to emigrate to the States. The visa process was a grueling wait for us so when my application got approved, we visualized the planets align in our favor. I came to the States in August and as it is part of the requirement, we got married before the expiration of my I-94. If we had a choice, we would have planned it for 2012. Being a traditional romantic, my husband wants to give me my dream wedding. A few years from now, he wants to get on his knee and propose to me all over again.

I can't possibly ask for more. I've got all that I need.

Before the wedding

Jordan and I with the officiator

Mr. & Mrs. P

Make-up by Sabrina of Jumelle Makeup Artistry

I love Sabrina's make-up job! <3

The wedding was at 1:15 pm and the night before, Jordan had a bachelor's party at the house. Since we wanted to keep it traditional, I slept over elsewhere to surprise Jordan on the wedding day. I had my make-up done at 10:00 am and was done an hour later. Sabrina did such a great make-up job because I had no smears the entire time. By the time Jordan and I called it a night at 2:00 am the next day, my make-up was still looked wonderful.

She'll be blogging about her make-up jobs soon so follow her at Jumelle Makeup Artistry. As a lot pf our family and friends had plans yesterday and this weekend, we're having an intimate dinner next Friday to celebrate our union.

Tonight, we party! I, in a 20's flapper dress and Jordan as my mobster lover.

Happy Halloween!
