Carlos & Charlies!
Carlos & Charlies!

If you live in Austin you've probably heard the radio commercials for Carlos & Charlies out on Lake Travis. Every time it comes on, I shout in my best accent along with the commercial, Carlos & Charlies!!! I can't help it. It's almost a reflex. Darn them (the commercial creators) for doing that to me! Will they live up to the commercial?

Our Wedding Day
Our Wedding Day

We shared our favorite sweets and beverages with our closest family and friends at on our wedding day. Dinner was delicious too, but it was just the best choice our caterer offered and not something special to us. The facility that hosted our wedding allowed us to bring in Dan's favorite beer, our favorite wine, my favorite tea, our favorite cake, and mom's incomparable baklava and kourabiedes.

The Rehearsal Dinner
The Rehearsal Dinner

After an hour and a half of rehearsing for the wedding, we came back to our house for dinner. We figured it'd be a hole lot more inexpensive, relaxed, and enjoyable to do it at home rather than at a busy restaurant.

Bess Friends at Best Bistro - Strike that; reverse it!

Before going to pick up my wedding gown, Evelina and I went to Bess Bistro (owned by Sandra Bullock) for lunch. She's a Sandra Bullock fan (and so am I), so I wanted to be sure she got to visit before leaving town.
