Becoming a Wedding Planner

As you may know after planning my wedding I became increasing interested in the wedding business and decided to be a wedding planner. It's not as easy as people think it is...a lot of hard work comes with that title. I finished taking Samantha Goldberg's course and had a great learning experience and can't wait to continue educating my self in the new profession I'm about to embark.

Good night!

When will the wedding air on TV?

That's the question I get everyday jee jee...well I finally have an answer the wedding will air May 26 @ 10Pm on the Style Channel on the TV show "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway" in case you didn't already know. I can't wait to see this...I already heard there's going to be a lot of bleeping....OMG I'm getting nervous.

I like this song as a closer for my wedding video!

Ok changed my mind I like this song as a closer for my wedding video! What do you think? It's called Wedding Day!

What do you think of this song? I need your help

As you may know I'm still working on the production of my wedding video and need some help in selecting the last song. I want something mellow for the ending because I want people to take in everything they just saw and cry happy tears of joy!

I love the song "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed although, I know he wrote this song about his addiction to heroin. However, art is in the eye of the beholder and to me the song is about any day being perfect as long as your with the one you love. Because my wedding day was the best day of my life, I married the love of my life I think this song is perfect for our happy ending. To me the song is actually a happy one and not depressing what do you think? Click below to hear this song and tell me what you think...

Pictures of Mya's Birthday Party

A little rain didn't stop Mya's Birthday Party today! She had a blast playing with her brother and friend peanuts and human cousin Gio. The paw-ty was going to be in a dog park but because of the rain we moved it to my house.

The princess is sleeping right now she's exhausted and full, because she ate a lot of doggie cake jee jee.

Happy Birthday Mya

My princess Mya turns 5 tomorrow and I'm celebrating her big day at the dog park with all her doggie friends! Tomorrow will be one year since we adopted her and it calls for a doggie celebration! I'll post pictures up tomorrow of the paw-ty.

chao!

Favorite Spanish Movie

Amores Perros...

Watch this foreign film it's another one of my favorites. Well not so foreign for me since I speak Spanish jee jee but you'll love it guaranteed .



Spoiler: Hard on the eyes to watch.

Amalyn Style: Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are making a comeback! The late 70’s and 80’s style continue to make a comeback and now hotter than ever with “Jumpsuits”. I know what you’re thinking 80’s disco queen at Studio 54 with big hair lol. But don’t be afraid to try this look it’s something fresh and new. This ensemble is a little uncomfortable when it’s time to go to the bathroom because you have to get undressed every time but the little hassle is all worth it if you want to rock the latest fashion trend. However, it’s easy getting dressed because it’s just one piece. Express, Arden B, and Forever 21 have a great selection of these one piece ensembles and you won't have any trouble finding an appropriate jumpsuit for your body type.

5 x 2 by Francois Ozon

I love to watch foreign films because I love to listen to other languages. I’m also more involved and pay more attention to the movie because of course I have to read the subtitles jee jee. However, if it’s a French or Italian film I’m usually able to understand a few words here and there.

My husband and I recently watched “5 times 2” by one of my favorite foreign directors Francois Ozon, he directed “Swimming Pool” one of my favorite mystery movies. One of the reasons I love his movies is because after watching them you feel the need to discuss it with someone so if you’re thinking of watching this alone don’t. The director leaves you with a ton of questions and imaginative endings. Francois Ozon is very imaginative and creative in his films but they are also difficult to watch like 5x2 and you want to have someone to talk about it.

In this film Ozon is telling us that there are not always two sides to the story it’s more complicated than that. In this movie we see 5 stages in this couples life Ozon shows the couple’s relationship from their first meeting up through their divorce. But he presents the story in reverse order which makes it a bit complicated because we are not use to seeing movies in that order. In the first scene we see the couple in the arbitrator’s office finalizing their divorce, and then the second scene is another stage in their life before the divorce and so on; finally the last scene its how they met and we make our own conclusions on why they ended up in divorce.

Do you like foreign films? If so what are some of your favorites?

Production of my wedding video

Wow! I feel like I haven't blogged in so long but it's because I'm working day and night on the production of my wedding video I'm directing it. However, along the process of directing I'm also learning how to edit weddings and its fun! The video is coming along great and can't wait to show off the finished product. It's going to be done just in time for the nice weather, because I will be visiting a lot of people on the weekends and will be bringing along my video and photo album which will be done soon too.
