For anyone whose hubby also seems to think that couple’s tattoos are necessary, you might want to check out Keltie Colleen’s collection on Buzzfeed of the 31 Best Couple Tattoos.

Hope you enjoy!

…While I go try to convince Zee German tattoos do not equal divorce-proof marriage

Case and point. {but cute tattoos…}

Check out the Keltie’s full gallery. These are just a few of my favs.

 

Not all those who wonder are lost

My mind is a wanderer. A wonderer.

They say it’s a symptom of our generation. A generation of entitlement. They say it like it’s a bad thing.

Is it bad to feel like there’s something more? Spoiled to think there might be a better way than “paying your dues”, “sticking with it”, “climbing the ladder”? What’s the risk in steering a new course?

What’s the risk of not?

So I dare say I’d rather be entitled. I’d rather dabble in my dreams. Chase the unknown. Fill my life with passion and wonder.

I’d rather pack up and follow my mind wherever it wanders.

And you?

This week in Robin Hooding…

A fun DIY for the perfect polka dot.

And finally with a tap of ruby shoes, we find ourselves back home with a personal fav. The lovely, talented, diva with the details, HeathOriginal brings us this beyond adorable Oz themed baby shower.

From lions and tigers.

To sweet baby smiles…

This couldn’t be a more perfect addition to our weekly roundup of Robin Hooding. And while I realize this last treasure is not a traditional “wedding” find, my tres adorablae niece makes it totally legit (not biased at all).

What have been your favorite finds this week? Any gorgeous gowns? Beautiful bouquets? Fabulous photographs? Please share!

 

Excitement beyond containment! Engagements galore!

Shivering with excitement.

That’s how I felt when I got off the phone with my best friend and the world’s most amazing Maid of Honor. I could not be more thrilled, ecstatic, gleeful, filled with joy, and all things sparkles and smiles for her recent engagement at Mt. Zion. Beyond gorgeous ring. Breath taking backdrop. And to quote he who has a way when hair gel and hairspray…

A love to make story books jealous.

Love you mucho my sweet Pocket Jenny! And in honor of the most exciting announcement this month, here’s a little sneak preview of the board that’s been patiently waiting for this momentous day!

2014 is going to be an exciting year!

First day of summer. National PDA Day (on Hump Day…). June 20th you complete me.

June 20th this one’s for you…

Oh and wait…

Did someone say PDA?

I would kiss you at city hall.

Or in traffic when our cars stall.

I would kiss you under the sea.

I would even kiss you in a taxi.

I would kiss you on the move.

Or in a dip if you’re really smooth.

I would kiss you in the rain.

I would kiss you on a train.

I would kiss you as a sign

That my kisses are yours, if your heart is mine.

 xoxo.

Besos.

Kusses.

Kisses.

Happy Tunesday and Birthday to Zee German!

Happy Tunesday!

So this week was a pretty crazy one for us. We packed up and left our Seattle digs on Thursday morning, arriving in sunny LA by Friday night (can you say overly ambitious?)! After driving circles around the Greater Lala land area, we finally settled in on our new “home” just in time to celebrate Zee German’s birthday!

So in honor of the most amazing man, partner, best friend, mentor and ex-boyfriend – I am dedicating today’s tune to ZQT himself! It has little to do with weddings, but everything to do with us (the belting German tunes from the top of our lungs in the “privacy” of his Z350 us).

What are your favorite songs to sing like no one’s listening?

Wedding photos worthy of your childhood dreams and life from the road

When I was just a little shrimp growing up in my small town hometown I used to spend hours in my room “make believing'”. Usually with my favorite “people”. Barbie and Ken. We’d plan their dream wedding. Barbie’s future as a high powered CEO in LA or New York. And sometimes the fun vacations they’d take together. (No judgment please)

So on my own road trip with Zee German and Puffin ithe fitting that I stumble across this awesome styled shoot from Diego Munoz!

Prepare yourself.

It’s an UNDERWATER TRASH THE DRESS with BARBIE AND KEN!

How could you not be in love with this!? Oh and this just happens to be the photographer behind our own future W-Day photos. Which are so obvs going to be amazeballs, because how could someone capturing Mattel’s truest love story not be anything but amazeballs in all they do? Be jealous.

And to complete the childhood circle of dreams, a little update in case you missed it. We my lovely friends are relocating from rainy Washington to rainy sunny California! LALA land to be exact. We, being overly ambitious, should be ending our two day road trip late tonight red eyed and buzzed on junk food. I sense a detox in my new LA life…

On the bright side Princess Puffin McMuffin has plenty of time to catch up on her beauty sleep for her divalicious debut.

And later on…

P.S.
WTF California!?

Happy Tunesday! (And an announcement…)

Happy Tuesday! Who else woke up, thought it was Saturday and went, “Oh crap…”? Anyone? Anyone?

I am feeling a little scattered these days. And it’s because I AM a little scattered. A sprinkle in Seattle. A dash in Mexico. And now a full on scoop in CALIFORNIA!

That’s right! We’re moving to California! The exact location is a bit in the air still (see SCATTERED above), but we are moving in about 2 WEEKS!

So apologies for the lack of blog goodness, but I promise I’ll be back to my Robin Hooding self soon and sharing all kinds of wedding porn. Promise.

But in the meantime, who’s up for a little anthem!?

xoxo

And anyone in California (San Fran or LA area) with tips on locations to live, I will love you forever for any great leads on apartments, houses or condos for rent! You might even win yourself a kiss from the Puffer Nugget if you live close by!
