Interlude: Love is in the Air

I'm dedicating this post to my cousin Marina and her HUSBAND, Tommy:  Their wedding was this past weekend (it was beautiful), and like any good bridesmaid, I was too busy helping out with things (setting up, taking down, entertaining children) to snap any pictures of our dresses or really anything important.  Below are some photos of what I captured the past few weeks:

The Wedding Shower

The Happy Couple!

Two little girls and a puppy.

KISSES!

The Wedding

Little kids and a camera.

Adam and Paul were too busy talking to let me take their photo.

Flower Girl and a Ring Bearer (behind the other camera)

Camera Man

Cutting the cake.

 

Family is the best!

Mother and Sons

I'm sure the Photographer got all the good shots anyway.

Kids will be kids.

My Parents:  The Dancing Fools.

Random? Check.  Adorable? Check.  I guess that's just what happens when our family gets together.  Love all of these crazy kids.

Graduation

 Last Saturday, (one of) my little brother(s) graduated COLLEGE.  Holy moly!  I should feel incredibly old with this milestone, but I don't.  I feel like I graduate college and time stopped.  Like we all graduate college and stop aging.  Either way, how proud are my parents?  Very proud!  How proud am I?  Super proud and pumped for Alex.  Now he can go out there and save the world (he ships out for the Navy Seals training program in April).  Even though I'm extremely scared and worried about him, I know he'll do a great job, and come back to us.

Enough with the sappy stuff.  This is what I wore:

Blazer: Hand-me-down, Turtleneck:  H&M, Skinny Jeans:  H&M, Black booties:  Kirra, Jewelry:  Assorted    

Obviously Adam took those photos since I can't keep a straight face (because of how silly I felt).  And as promised (or maybe not, I can't remember if I ever announced it), but here is a glimpse of my babelicious boyfriend.  Look at him being all modelly and posing for me after the graduation ceremony!

How cute!  Thanks Adam (if you want his outfit details, you'll have to ask him)!  Peace all!

Promenade.

This past weekend was wild.  My little, baby brother went to Prom!  My mom and I went with him to the "Promenade" (which is basically a REALLY awkward way to announce who's going with whom) to take a million pictures.  I would have felt bad about taking so many, except I wasn't even asking him to pose or smile.  Anyway, for your viewing pleasure:  Revere Promenade 2012, starring AARON RODE!

What a handsome fella!  The "alma mater" didn't look half bad either, then again I can't call it that because I went to prom (and graduated) in Florida (but that's another story).  Proof:

Dang I was skinny.

Mother's Day was awesome too (love ya Mama Rode - can't wait for Toronto weekend 2012)!  I will post an outfit post laterz (and give more excuses as to why it's been forever since the last one - it WASN'T my fault this time!).  Cheers Mates.
