mexican wedding.

wedding wednesday

volume 2 | chapter 66

this mexican wedding had me at the veil. gorgeous. and then the location. breathtaking. how remarkable to marry in such a ruin--a 16th century convent with a caved in roof. i love the shock of colour the rose petals add to the otherwise neutral landscape.

says the bride, "for something borrowed i wore my paternal grandmother's silver bracelet that was from zacatecas, and my maternal great-grandmother's pearl ring was my something old. my something blue was a handkerchief that my mom monogrammed with a z and r, and that we sewed inside my dress."

read more about regina and zaheen's mexican wedding and sweet story on how they chose the location of zacatecas, mexico. i think i'd very much like to visit this old colonial city and walk its cobblestone streets.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
