Take Me Away Programs!

What is a travel theme without a passport or luggage tags?

The excitement began when I received my custom stamp in the mail (here), then it went on to the assembly of the programs (here). Now you get to take a look at the inserts of the programs, so take us away programs, since it couldn't take us anywhere else but through the wedding outline:

First: United States of Marriage

Second: Order of Ceremony (No image, the usual!)

Third/Fourth: Bridal Party (No image because of the names; privacy)

Note: Instead of using "Bridesmaids" I used the term "Bride Ladies"; Also included my "BodyGuards and "Little Guards" which were my nephews (here).

Fifth: Reading of Ceremony (will show wording in a separate post.)

Sixth: Thank you (will show clearer wording in a separate post.)

That concludes the passport programs!

The other day as we were unpacking a few of our boxes, hubby came across one of the programs and began saying "why isn't your passport in a secure place?". After taking a second look he just sucked his teeth, lol!! With that said, I must say that we must have done a good job :-)

Themed Up

When I started planning for the wedding, I knew instantly that I wanted a theme. At first I thought I wanted to go the route of a black & white affair, so it would be checker boxes (given that I love the color black). But having the whole party in black for a summer (outdoor) wedding didn't seem too appealing, trust me I thought long and hard about it (here).

Then I started thinking about things that we both loved, aside from each other (I know that was cheesy but I had to add :-). So we narrowed down the topics and focused on travel.

• We both love to travel.
• I like old (vintage/antique) suitcases, he likes old comics.
• We both love watching Anime.
• He loves Manga, I love Korean drama's.
• We both love Thai food.
• He loves Kimchi, I love Korean drama's (yes repeated it because I am not a fan of Kimchi).
• I love the Asian culture, he loves anything "Bruce Lee" and martial arts.

Well, you get the point!

When we summed it up, we came up with:

• Travels
• Traveling far East
• Traveling to Asia

Traditional Attire at Gyeongbok Palace

At a Korean Restaurant, Upper East New York

My fave Korean dish, Dolsot Bimbimbap

His fave Korean side dish, Kimchi (I never tried it and never will :-)

Did I mention how much I like K-drama's?!

Finally, we decided on adding a few touches of "Traveling and Traveling to Asia". I say touches because we did not serve Asian food, as much as we loved it, we figured we would be considerate to our guests. 

Again, wait till you see how we incorporated the theme in the wedding!
