To change my last name or not....

So, I've been thinking really hard about if I should change my last name or not when I get married. Part of me would be a little sad to not be referred as Michelle Lindsay any more. I mean EVERYONE calls me by my first and last name...hello I have two first names. Ha! 

Another side of me though wants our family to be on ONE card when we travel abroad. Especially when we have babies.  Plus, I want to have the same last name as our kids. 

The good thing is that Robert's last name is "Loomis" (Robert James Loomis) so I'd still get to keep my initials "ML."  I just did a little google search and found out all the things I need to change...social security card, license, passport, bank accounts, credit cards, job, voting, utilities etc. Full list is here. I told Robert that if I change my name that he has to come with me to go to all the places to change my name. I mean if I have to stand in line at the DMV he should too right?? :) Who knows...I have 13 days to figure that one out.  xoxo ML

Ring Shopping

Yesterday we went by our friends vintage shop to get a few stackable gold and rose gold rings for me for our big day.



Robert got my shiny diamond ring from there as well. The silver band was given to us by our friend Anna Sheffield.



Today we went to Cartier to get Robert his ring. We trekked all the way up town in the sleet to get it!!



Now, I know what you're thinking....where's your Cartier ring ML. Never fear Cartier is here!! I'm getting a matching ring like Robert's but in rose gold and with diamonds all the way around. They don't have my size in the US so they have to order it from Paris hence the reason why I got stackable rings yesterday. Actually, I'm going to Paris in January....I might just get it then. No tax!!

I'm really excited about our rings. It's exactly what I wanted which is a stackable moment and my ring to match Robert's ring. Yeah!! 1 week 6 days to the big day. Xoxoxo ML

Tie the Knot

My friend Andee is always coming to work in something cute as apposed to me who rocks a lulu lemon outfit daily. Andee's outfits consist of vintage pieces, tall shoes and something that exsentuates her perfect figure. Today she rocked and over sized thrift store dress and tied a knot in the middle to make a little more fitted. I loved this chic idea and can't wait to try it out myself.

Visual Person

I had to make a little diagram so I could do our seat chart. I wrote everyone's name on a little sticky and started placing people places. I put my single friend by a cute boy. Who's a match maker at her own wedding. Ha!!!

Seat Assignment

I'm slightly obsessed with @theknot wedding website. It's so helpful with giving information to our guest about the wedding and having people RSVP. Now I'm on to seat arrangement. DUDE..it's so visual and since everyone RSVP to the site it already has everyone's name in there so I just drag the person's name (which they have a list conveniently on the side) and put them at a table. Amazing! This way we won't forget anyone. YEAH!!

Covered Buttons

Tonatiuh is putting the finishing touches on my dress.



He added covered buttons. Love!
I can't wait for you to see this on. It's amazing!!!

3 MORE WEEKS!!

Three weeks from today we're getting married!!! YEAH!!

No longer- me, I, you

Now it will be- us, we, together
