I'm so excited to finally share our wedding invitations! Due to the untimely Canada Post strike, I'm not sure if all our friends & family out of province have received them, but I couldn't wait any longer!

It took us awhile to decide on a design. Turns out, it's quite tricky to decide on something when both of you care so much about it. But with a little compromising and a bit of tweaking, Mike designed one that we both absolutely loved.

Mike gets complete credit for the invitations. He designed every little detail on these invitations and spent hours printing, cutting, trimming, typing address labels on the typewriter, tying bows, stamping etc. I fell more in love with him every minute.

If you want to see the adorable wedding website he whipped up, look here.

    So hot....like my marriage....that when I went to write the comment above, I didn't realize that I was signed into my husband's account, making inappropriate comments! BAH HA. Whoopsies. So yes, it was me.

    oh, and I just checked out your wedding website -- funny thing, your "facts" page is almost exactly like something I've been designing for the back of our wedding menus! I'm even making little symbols like that. great minds think alike ;)

    So so so cute!!

    I'm still trying to figure out what our wedding invitations will look like... It's a bit difficult to decide. Plus, more than half will probably have to be in Spanish haha.

    Janice, I'm in love with them! You two have fantastic taste. I love kraft paper for anything, and I adore the simplicity/whimsy of these. WELL DONE.

    Also, congrats on contributing to this new magazine! I can't wait to see it alive.

    hey cute girl! to answer your question: it is cold here at night. and mornings. verrrry cold, like in the 40s probably. it gets chilly chilly chilly! and up in amaru where we're working it's even colder - it's high up in the mountains so we gotta bundle up to stay warm! and we went ahead and got the canon 7D, so now we have that in addition to the 5D mk ii so we can both film up here! loving it so far! in the future i'm investing in a prime 50 mm lens... gahhh i need it
