So nervous! Tomorrow is the big day.
Tomorrow, August 13th, I'm finally getting married. In the end, my mom chose this day because her grandparents got married on the same date, 67 years ago. Fortunately, I'm getting married in Coruña, not in Córdoba, because otherwise, my mom would be wearing the veil.
Today we had the rehearsals, and unfortunately, the fittings (which I must admit I never like); the menu is practically ready, and all the guests have confirmed their attendance… So nervous!
In the end, we opted for a simple ceremony, just family and close friends, not even the neighbors are coming —I must admit I never liked them. I just hope they keep being envious from the other side of the fence—. The mastiffs in the garden said they would only come to the banquet (As if they were doing me a favor! I didn't want to invite them, but my mom says it's very rude to exclude them; they are family).
The main color is pink —which I love, it has always suited me— my fiancé will wear a matching bow tie, as will my uncle and my two bridesmaids (my sister and my best friend: a slightly chubby Westie). I have everything ready: something new, something old (from my MomLoba), something blue, and something borrowed. So nervous!
Well, I'm going to sleep, I need to be rested for tomorrow.
So nervous!

Esquinita verde de la Península Ibérica, llamada A Coruña

Me encanta recorrer el mundo en cada bocado.Apasionada del mar, de los viajes, de la astronomía y de los libros. Poco golosa pero exigente con la calidad de los productos. ¿El final perfecto de cualquier instante gastronómico? La buena compañía... tanto a la hora de prepararlo en la cocina, como al sentarse en la mesa. Porque disfruto cocinando con y para los míos; me encanta ese desafío de conectar con mis comensales, de compartir y de no sólo hacer disfrutar a las papilas gustativas. De crear, en definitiva, un momento, un recuerdo y un vínculo con los que quiero.
