A New Address

Well, now that I'm back to blogging again, I thought we should switch sites so that our friends from around the world will have the opportunity to keep in contact with us!

Visit our new site by clicking here!  It's http://jeanneandruss.wordpress.com/.  See you over there!

Carmen at the Hollywood Bowl

Russ planned for us to go to the Hollywood Bowl to watch Carmen.  We had a great time sipping wine, eating snacks, and watching the show!

I forgot to take a lot of pics and that's about all I had!

Rihanna Concert

We got really lucky and were invited to the Rihanna Concert at the Staples Center!  =)

It was hard to take good pics, but that's Rihanna!

And then Eminem came out of no where and did a song w/ Rihanna!

 

Our pics turned out pretty terrible.  :(

Our Video Made It On The Internet!

Our short film of the wedding made it on the internet!  =)  It's really cute and I just LOVE it!!!  Check it out here!  Hope you enjoy it!

I'm back!

*phew*  After a six-month hiatus from blogging, I'm back.  Not sure why I took such a long hiatus, but I'm back!!  =)  Oh, I know why I had the hiatus...it's b/c I had nothing to write about for the longest time!  Russ and I took a huge break from the wedding and basically went into hiding.  But now we're back and I've got tons to blog about and tons of pictures to share!  Stay tuned!

"Sashay in LA"

We were planning on having lunch w/ Dan & Donna and we were GREATLY surprised by Jeff, Meghan, Kelly, and Lindsay!  And they came with our BIG e-session pic that we displayed at the wedding:

They also surprised us with a book of how we went around LA w/ them!  It was AWESOME!!!  Check it out:

Thanks Dan, Donna, Lindsay, Nelson, Kelly, Jeff & Meghan for the AWESOME book!  We LOVE it!!!

My Bustle

A few weeks before the wedding, it became apparent that my bustle wasn't working right with the tailor that I normally go to!  :(  So, I asked Kelley if she had any recommendations for a bustle person and, of course, she totally did!

Within a few days, I was in touch with Olivia from A Stitch In Time and had an appt for my bustle.  =)  I went in, put on the dress w/ the shoes and w/in a few minutes, she had my dress pinned up in a bustle and she knew where to take in at the top and to make sure it wasn't too tight!  =D

I went back a week later for a 2nd fitting.  And a few days before the wedding, I picked up my dress, which was stuffed, pressed and ready to be put on!  She even pinned a little blue bow in my dress so that I would have something blue.  =)

Here's my dress pre-bustling:

Here's some shots of dress post-bustle.  I can't believe how awesome she is and how easy it was for her to come up w/ a bustle.
