New Sofa and Love Seat!

By Aubrey

So, we’ve been debating whether or not to replace the futon. Lovely as the futon was, after 5 years of abuse and having to stand on it in order to answer our cell phones in the window, it was getting a bit uncomfortable.

We got a great deal and bought a new sofa and love seat - the first time either of us have purchased new seating!

Ahhh - this seat is JUST right!

Christmas!

By Aubrey

Ryan and I spent Christmas Eve with the Torres clan and arrived in Seattle on Christmas day - holidays with both families! Here are a few highlights from the holidays (we were lame and forgot our cameras Christmas Eve - but picture Margie making a TON of really tasty food and people in food commas afterward). It was a quick trip to Seattle so, unfortunately, we weren’t able to catch up with everyone we had hoped to see. Hopefully we’ll catch you on our next trip!

Wow! Words cannot express our gratitude. To be in a room filled with and to hear from so many loving, sincere, and truly wonderful people was an incredible experience - and the fact that you were gathered for us is just amazing and humbling. Thank you!

We hope to get pictures up soon - so keep checking.

License to Wed

By Ryan

After negotiating rush hour traffic to get to the Arlington City Clerk’s Office after work, we can now be married in the eyes of Massachusetts. That’s right, a piece of paper has been stamped and cleared by a state official and we are good to go! The clerk even drew a tiny heart on the receipt and wished us luck.

There were 2 other couples applying for their licenses because Arlington licenses cost $30. It is $50 in Boston and $35 in Brookline. There are rumors of a town in Massachusetts where it only costs $4, but we couldn’t find it. It also seemed appropriate to get the license where we were holding the reception.

Check out the Sights to See for some updates on things to do while in the Boston area and the Directions link to get info on where the ceremony and reception are being held.

Rings!!!

By Aubrey

Two rings to rule them all

Two rings to rule them all

While it might not have had the reveal that Aubrey’s engagement ring did, Ryan found a wedding band! We shopped around and found the perfect ring. The salesĀ  person was convinced Ryan’s name was Sean and completely got his ring size wrong. When we went to pick up the ring this weekend it slipped right off. After some adjustments though, it’s the perfect fit. Sorry Ry - you don’t get to wear it for another 2 months!

We’re working on the invites - be on the lookout!

East Coast showers and cake

By Ryan

Exactly 4 months before the wedding our BC family threw Aubrey another surprise shower. This one without the same glamorous make-up work. Instead I was lovingly decorated with the bows from all the generous gifts. You can see the shower and my final decorated state by clicking on the image below:

We also have other news that is closer to my heart, or to be more precise, stomach. We have found a bakery that doesn’t use any nuts. Blacker’s Bakery on Commonwealth Ave. will be making our wedding cake with my allergy and flavor needs in mind. I’ve lived most of my life in fear of cross-contamination at bakeries and restaurants, now I have no need to worry about the reception. And if their cake is anything like their cupcakes then I plan on being in a happy, frosting-induced coma by the end of the night.
