In light of finding out that Mr. Fiery and I are expecting, we had to decide whether to have the wedding in October or move the wedding up.  I decided to move up.  So we decided February 2009 but what day, we don't know.  I proposed Feb. 21 which is a week after Valentine's Day but its still up in the air.  There are only 3 days to choose from really (we want Sat. just not Valentine's Day).

We have a ceremony location.  It will be at the Spanish Monastery (http://www.spanishmonastery.com/).

We're going to a restaurant tonight to check it out.  There's one in Miami that we're considering and the one we're checking out is in Fort Lauderdale.

Miami - I like this one because it has a completely private room for any size party but its a little too far south.

Fort Lauderdale - I like this one because it has live music and is a really pretty restaurant, plus its closer.  But the private room looks like it would have a minimum of much more than 15 people so we'll see.

The guest list will be a whopping 12 people (mom, brothers, FILs, BIL/date, BF/hubby, FI's grandmother, and FI's bestfriend/date).  I will invite my grandparents but the likelihood of them coming is very slim due to one grandfather being blind and ill and one grandmother being too ill to travel. 

So there you have it!

Thank you!


This isn’t exactly planned as you can imagine and we still need to go to the doctor.  But after taking 5 tests and getting the same results, I’m thinking we probably should be planning for this to be real.


And thinking ahead, knowing us we won’t want to spend a dime on a ceremony/reception no matter how small once a baby is in our lives.  So that’s why we decided February.

Oh, congratulations! Everything's changing so fast for you! At least this has helped you decide on the elope or have a wedding issue (that was still a question for you, right?)

That's so exciting!!

Wow! Oh honey, I can only imagine the whirlwind of emotions you must be feeling right now, but I have to say I am so excited for you. I know you and Mr. Fiery (hehe ) were destined for a wonderful life together anyway, so this is just moving things a bit faster in that direction. Your venue is GORGEOUS!!! Congrats, sweetie, and the best of everything in life to the two of you!

Thank you everyone.


It is completely unexpected but we’ve had a great weekend.  My mom and brothers know and they’re looking forward to the new addition.  I also have an older cousin that knows who is being very supportive.  We haven’t told my FI’s parents because we want to go to the doctor first but I could only imagine that they would be equally happy.


I’m still in complete shock but dealing.  My biggest concern right now is whether or not I’m healthy and what I need to do going forward. 


Claud-I love Chispa.  The food is very good and the overall atmosphere is great.  I’ve been to the one in Doral.  And they’re affordable which is great.


Kama-Not sure how far long I am.  I’m guessing just a few weeks.


Bobbin-Thank you so much!


I’ll keep everyone updated.  Hopefully I can get a Drs appointment for this Thursday.

Hey Fiery! Congratulations! I saw your posts over on the Preggo board (another lurker here, lol). It really seems like you're focused on getting healthy and doing your best to be an awesome mom, and I think that's fabulous.

Your wedding will be absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see pictures!
