This weekend after my mom and I decided to ditch the cupcakes and champagne event, we went across the street to a little store called Soirée. It was filled with the cutest invitations and papers and monogrammed plates and was all headed by the cutest blond woman with the cutest son. I mean it, this store was nothing short of the cutest store ever. Put short, I was in heaven.

My mom found a cookbook titled “Bride and Groom First and Forever Cookbook” (see it here). She decided that it would make a wonderful first wedding gift for us and I couldn’t agree more. I love it and can’t wait to start making things out of it. I have my post its ready to mark recipes that I like as I read through it in my spare time (what’s that?). After we got home and I flipped through it, and it was nice to find out that it’s actually signed by the authors. Score!

Thank you Mom!
