Awareness Ribbons!

This is one of those non-wedding related posts. However, I feel passionate about it and want to bring awareness to Awareness Ribbons. Awareness Ribbons are a way to raise awareness and remind people of the struggle with diseases that many families face. I know that we see random colors and wonder what they mean or maybe go on with what we are doing without giving them any thought. I would REALLY like to encourage you to have a cause that means something to you. I have several. When you look at the single red ribbon below, it represents the HIV/AIDS Pandemic. I worked in that field for years and there is still so many obstacles to cross when it comes to preventing it. The colorful Puzzle Ribbon is for Autism Awareness. One of my best friends has a nephew with Autism. He is such a wonderful kid and there is still so much to be done in research for Autism prevention/awareness. The Pink Ribbon is for breast cancer-I lost a cousin to this disease. To learn more about Awareness Ribbons click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awareness_ribbons

A Beautiful Saree Selection...

Being the nontraditional bride to be that I am, I want to do something different after our ceremony. I am not sure that I want to keep on my gown the entire evening. I know that in Africa and India women wear Saree's (Sari's) in an array of colors for their wedding day. I am HIGHLY considering wearing a Saree for majority of the reception. Here are some beautiful ones that I like:

Proud to be a Charleston, South Carolina Bride!

I am so excited and proud to be a SC Bride! One of the "Knotties" from the South Carolina Board on the Knot.com created this cute little logo/picture for us. I love the Palmetto Trees in the background. This has SC written all over it! How adorable!

Honeymoon time!

We love to travel! I am always eager to get new stamps in my passport! I love it!! Once you get that International travel bug, you cannot get rid of it. Please believe it. There are so many places that we want to see globally. Here is a spot that I came across while searching for Honeymoon spots. This locale is: Hotel Raito located on the Amalfi Coast. Think Italy! I am drooling over this beautiful location. Peace, Angela
