We just got back from our honeymoon yesterday! It was truly a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to do it again. We’re also super tired, so we’re trying to sleep off the jet lag.

Thank you all for coming to see us on our wedding day! We felt so blessed and loved with all the family and friends who came and those who were there in spirit. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We feel so fortunate and we are eternally grateful for everyone who contributed to help make such a special day happen particularly our families, parents, brother, sisters, God Parents, cousins, and great friends.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have pictures from our photographer, but I’ve seen a few pictures from our family on facebook, so feel free to check there and friend me if you haven’t already. I’ll be posting a few pictures from our honeymoon as soon as I get them sorted out. It was a little hard to get internet access while in Europe and we barely had time to backup our files let alone post them :\ so I’ll do my best to have a few of them on here 🙂 Here’s one of our pictures from our gondola ride in Venice, Italy!

Love,

Shine & Arturo

So far we’ve had two awesome showers by both families. Thank you all so very much! We felt the love and are eager to see all of you at the wedding 🙂

There’s a few loose ends here and there and a vendor or two to finish paying, but so far so good. I will have to say that planning this wedding on our own has made me feel like an expert planner already hah! Anyway, we hope to see all of you–family and friends. We’ll be sure to post pictures of the day, and if possible when we go to our honeymoon to Europe right after. So exciting!

Bridesmaids dresses are done. We picked out our wedding cake baker–Ali from The Sugar Lab in Ventura! Thank goodness! Our consultation went so well we signed the contract on the spot.

Things left to do include getting the final schedule/ideas sent to our video/photog people and DJ, finding a makeup and hair person, and what to do with the bouquets? I’m tempted to make them myself, but I’ve been advised against it. We’ll see how that goes. So far Arturo and I have mastered the art of DIYing. Let’s see how much we can do!

]]>rchurroIt’s crunch time2013-04-28T15:56:29+00:002013-04-28T15:56:29+00:00https://www.shineychurro.com/2013/04/28/its-crunch-timeOnly two more months till the wedding and there’s so many things that still need to get done! Gotta find a cake, get our marriage license, meet again with the church and set up the wedding rehearsal date among other things. Well, at least I have most of the invitations done and almost ready for shipment 🙂

]]>rchurroAnd we booked our Honeymoon Spot!2013-01-18T21:38:14+00:002013-01-18T21:38:14+00:00https://www.shineychurro.com/2013/01/18/and-we-booked-our-honeymoon-spotToday we finally put a deposit for our trip to our honeymoon! We only live once and we rarely splurge on ourselves, but this time we decided to take the plunge and get it out of our system. We’re going to Europe! More specifically UK, France then Italy 🙂 I’m so excited! I’ve never been to Europe and Arturo has never been to Paris or Italy, so it will be wonderful experience for both of us. Now time to figure out how to pack super light, not get mugged, and not get lost. One thing’s for sure, after looking at packages and flights on our own, ultimately you do get more security and better upgrades when you talk to your travel agent over doing everything on your own. I still can’t believe it! 😀

Thankfully we were automatically booked with them once we booked our venue. That has been plaguing my mind since I’ve been having difficult scheduling a time to go and see them to do the tasting, the ultimately finalize our menus and the specifics of the event. Anyway, that’s coming up in a few weeks and now I just need to get the frills taken care of (video, photo, DJ, decor/flowers, etc.). Nightmares have subsided!

]]>rchurroHappy 2013!2013-01-01T02:50:23+00:002013-01-01T02:50:23+00:00https://www.shineychurro.com/2013/01/01/happy-2013About to go to bed after a whirl wind day. Just wanted to say best wishes and God’s graces to everyone this new year. Times have been tough for everyone, but through it all we’ve pulled through.

On a side note, as I’ve been feeling the crunch of 6 months left, I bit the bullet and looked at dresses on NYE. After 8 dresses, I “said yes to the dress”. That’s one more thing down and several more to go. Hopefully my friends & family can pull through in the end. As much as I hate asking for help & relying on others, a wedding just isn’t right without your friends & family having your back.

Now time to sleep! Good night!

]]>rchurroVenue? Check!2012-09-13T20:56:52+00:002012-09-13T20:56:52+00:00https://www.shineychurro.com/2012/09/13/venue-checkAfter confirming our wedding date with our deacon, we also confirmed our venue and put in the reservation deposit! Yey!

Just need to submit a few more papers, get some liability insurance, and of course get our catering stuff set. It’s slowly coming along and our marriage preparation class is coming up soon…I hope.

After weeks of emails, phone calls, rants, and mishaps, we finally have our date set! July 6, 2013! The ceremony will be at 12:00pm. Now I can finally send in my application for the reception venue. So stressful doing this all long distance without Arturo here! Oh well no worries. After that I guess we need to get our engagement photos done, addresses to collect and save the date thingys to send out…blah.
