Happy New Year everyone and welcome to the year of our wedding! Last year, we got away brushing off the wedding by saying “oh it’s next year”. But now the date is rapidly approaching and is only 3 months away. Yikes! This is my first official post (i.e. Christina’s way of getting me more involved in the wedding planning)
Christina and I spent our last holidays apart as single adults. I went to Northern Virginia (NOVA) to my parents’, and Christina went down to Houston to her sister, Anne’s, place. Family time was needed this year more than ever.
For New Years, we took a vacation to Whistler, Canada with Steve Pinder, best man, and his wife Anna. Groomsman, William Youngk, drove up from Seattle and joined us. The ski park was awesome – including a one-of-a-kind Peak 2 Peak gondola that went between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. There was a ton of Olympic buzz, Canadians, and Canadian beer to go around. With skiing being one of her favorite sports, Christina had the opportunity to ski down one of the Olympic runs. So when you’re watching the Winter Olympics in a few weeks remember that she dominated those slopes…with maybe a fall here or there.
A critical wedding update: we have finally chosen the colors for the wedding. Christina has been battling with this decision since the day of our engagement. Because of my keen fashion and color sense, I took on this challenge using my previous experience in determining trend colors for some of the leading retailers. I had to break out my spectrophotometer to make sure the colors matched perfectly.
Totally kidding. Christina chose the colors and I get the privilege to blog about it. Aren’t they beautiful and match the vintage theme perfectly?

Coming soon – updates to the site on location attractions, area map, and highlights from our couples retreat. Yes, we talked about feelings…with other couples.

Wasn’t couples retreat a blast? Totally being sarcastic there. Jk. Luckily we didn’t have to talk with other couples but it was very interesting getting to know the other person.
