My final choice was a champagne satin crystal-encrusted wedge from Casadei {which I posted on my Instagram page back in December}. In the meantime, here are a few more gorgeous options.

I woke up in a panic today, realizing Christmas is just a few days away and I haven’t even completed my Christmas list. While my list has been drastically cut short due to the upcoming wedding and honeymoon, material gift-giving just doesn’t quite come up on my priority list these days. In the past month, I have instead put my money towards charitable causes and it has truly given more meaning to the true spirit of giivng. And of course, the recent tragedy in Connecticut has certainly set a different tone for everyone as well.

With the intent of keeping this post just a quick sharing of what’s been on my mind as of late, I will end here by wishing you all a blessed and meaningful Christmas! The greatest gift we can give anyone not just this holiday season but all throughout the year, is the gift of our time. It is my hope that we all get to spend time with our loved ones and really celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Vancouver is one of those cities that is so easy to fall in love with. Because we drove in from Whistler during the tail-end of our trip, we tried to make the most out of our quick two-day visit. Can’t wait to see you again, Vancouver!

It has been an exhilarating 11 years with this man. I realize that today will be our last anniversary as a “couple”. I CANNOT wait to be his wife and start the next phase in our beautiful and exciting journey. By then, we’ll have a new anniversary to celebrate! I love you forever Archie ♥ I thank God everyday for giving you to me!
