off, off and away

I am on my way to Zanzibar for the next few months.
Haramaki Love will continue to be run by my one and only.
Hopefully I'll get to share bits and pieces of my adventures along the way!

In the meantime, here's to wishing everyone a very sweet 2011.
2010 was pretty awesome, what with jah wedding and all.

I'll be thinking of (+ missing) you.

pretty pretty parisian countryside wedding

Although our wedding is in the past, I still find myself perusing what I like to refer to as WEDDING PORN. So many pretty pictures, original ideas, fluffy dresses and in the case of this particular wedding, delicious-looking foodstuff and very fashionable guests.

jah wedding

it was a great day. nice weather, nice people, nice vibes.

speaking of which..

where on earth to wed?

such a difficult question that we have been humming and hawing over since the engagement.
we're looking at 200 guests (most of whom are his, might I add..), something cool, different, not too stuffy. we were thinking winter, but now we're leaning towards summer.
we've visited hotels (cheesy & depressing), halls (ultra cheesy & depressing), museums (too slick and not us), galleries (too small but somewhat us)..
and we just don't know! now we are considering synagogues, and vineyards.

any ideas in the montreal area?

engagement ring

A few people have asked me to post a picture of the ring the fiancé magically bought for me on that cold March day. Poor guy, he was acting so strangely that I just knew what he was up to - I sometimes wish I was harder to fool! Here is a rough shot, taken on a bus ride in Germany over a brilliantly funny book I was reading at the time, and that I strongly recommend: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Love that guy.
