Stuffing Party!

Invitations are stuffed, sealed and ready to be mailed! Wow, I guess we really have to get married. :) Thank you to my bridesmaid, Ginger, hostesses, Margo and Kimberly and good friend, Stephanie for coming over this evening to help me stuff what seemed like the most complicated mailing I have ever done in my life. Just a reminder, I do a lot of mailings for my job.

Of course I tempted them with pizza and wine and Chris made cookies for all of us. Thanks honey!

Invitations will be put in the mail on Saturday, so be on the lookout for those in your mailboxes and PLEASE send the rsvp cards back! PLEASE!!! It will make my life just a little easier.

Here are a few pictures from the stuffing party...

Bridal Shower

Oh my! The wedding is getting close. My bridal shower was held earlier this month and it was wonderful! Thank you so much to my aunt, Monika Masi, Rehka Auntie, Ginger, Erin, my mom and everyone else who was there. It was such a special day and I felt so loved!

My friends all learned where I get my hostessing skills that day. I take after the women in my life who also love to entertain.

Here are a few pictures from the afternoon.

June Update (in July)

Update time! Sorry I haven't been posting. It has been a busy month.

Let's see...what is going on in the life of Reema and Chris. We celebrated my 29th birthday earlier in the month. My last birthday as a Tandan and of my 20s... kind of a big deal. Chris and I celebrated with my family by going out to dinner at Fadi's and then making our way over to Dessert Gallery for cake. It was a fun evening and I was happy to celebrate with everyone. That Friday we went out with our friends to a great sushi restaurant and then to our favorite wine bar (Block 7).

On June 15th we celebrated our one-year anniversary of being engaged. I still can't believe it has been a year since Chris asked me to marry him. Time certainly has gone by fast. We celebrated by going to dinner at Max's Wine Dive (which is where I actually wanted to go the night he proposed, but for some reason I thought there was an event happening that night. There wasn't, so we could have gone there). I know it isn't where we went last year, but hey, it's owned by the Tasting Room!

At the end of the month Chris and I booked our honeymoon! We will be spending 7 glorious days in Hawaii. We booked 99 days before the wedding and 100 days before the reception. Booking the honeymoon reminded both of us that the wedding is almost here! I cannot wait. We just need to make it through the next 3 months and we will finally be married.

And finally...Chris is finished with his MBA! He finished this week and is an honor graduate. I am so proud of him and all the work that he has done to get this degree. Needless to say, there will be a celebration at the end of the month. I will post pictures once that happens.

Until next time...have a great 4th of July everyone!
