Just Married & Off On Our Honeymoon

Keith and I got married yesterday and it was an incredible day. Of course I'll be sharing A LOT more photos in the future, but for now I'm exhausted and need to pack for our Hawaiian honeymoon. 
We'll be gone for a week and won't have a computer with us, so my regular blog posts will not be happening. I've got adventures to go on with my brand new husband (I like the sound of that!) and memories to be made, so hopefully my online time will be extremely limited. In the meantime, you can see more pics on Instagram under #keithandkristen2013 or on Facebook or www.mikethefanboy.com. Have a great week!

Where It All Began

In two short days I'll be marrying the man of my dreams, Keith Coogan. But I thought it'd be fun to take a look back where it all began....at the LA Celebrity Show in February (2/2 to be exact).
These pictures were taken shortly after we met and I'm pretty sure anyone can see we were both a bit smitten with each other. Love at first sight, happily ever after, dreams do come true...whatever cheesy cliche you'd like to attach to us, we'll be happy to hear it (as we tend to be pretty cheesy ourselves). I went to the show to cheer my friend Katrina up and I left the show meeting the Love of my Life. Funny how things happen.

On a totally unrelated note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings going out to JustBecks, Pants, and Jeremy! Wahoo!

Pinky's Fandance - Lisa Dean Ryan

My favorite part about this picture with Lisa Dean Ryan (who famously played Wanda on Doogie Howser, M.D.), is that it only came about due to Lindsay's firm belief that the girl we saw in the lobby of  the Emmys "was somebody." She was so certain, in fact, that she went up and asked Lisa who she was and wouldn't let her get away with "nobody." 
Thankfully Lisa's date stepped in and told Lindsay about Lisa being an actress. Success! Nice spot, Linds!

Mr. & Mrs. Mugs

Ever since we got engaged I've been wanting to get these adorable "Mr. & Mrs." mugs from our company store.
For a long time they'd run out, but to my surprise and delight my friend Jen got them for us as a wedding present.
So fun! I think I might even display them at the reception. Too cute!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition

Hello and welcome to Saturday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
I'm not sure Alyssa is really the boss in this outfit.
Is she wearing a lace diaper?
Hey Harry - No one wants to see you rocking a headband. We wanna see all of your long, luxurious, gorgeous hair. K? Thanks.
JUST SING.
How do they always know what the wax figures are going to wear? Do they call each other that morning and arrange it?

iMessage Breakdown

I love text messaging. I do. It's easy, it's quick, and it's a great way to keep in touch with people - especially when you're trying to reach them right away and aren't able to call.
The appearance of a one or more messages on my iPhone just makes me happy.
Recently, however, I noticed that I wasn't really getting too many messages. Did people hate me? Were they mad? Was I just living in a bubble with Keith? Come to find out that my iMessage stopped working, oh, a month ago. Say what?
So, apparently, all these people have been trying to write me (or even just write me back) and, sadly, nothing came through. Thank goodness Apple finally did an update that fixed it last night! Wahoo! I'm so happy to finally be able to text my friends again!

Pinky's Fandance Flashback - Benedict Cumberbatch

Once upon a time I was at an event and a guy walked up who I didn't recognize. The person next to me said I should take a picture with him, although I had no idea what he was from or whether or not I'd seen him in anything before. 
Boy am I glad I did! Benedict Cumberbatch (who was then out promoting War Horse) is literally blowing up right before our eyes and I'm so grateful I listened to that tip and asked him for a picture several years ago.

Words To Live By

I printed this out to help me remember what's important. With all the heightened stress and emotions already coming into play, it's important to remember what truly matters - I'm marrying the love of my life on Saturday and that's all I really care about.
Don't get me wrong - I'm thrilled to death to see my friends and family. It's going to be a blast! But it'll be nice when we're not always planning for / talking about / working towards / saving for the wedding. I can't wait to be in Hawaii with my new husband next week relaxing on the beach! :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Was it raining outside? Why do they both have such horrible hair?
Now THAT is a regal looking blessing gown. Way to go, George!
Can't Katy give John some tips on not making that "O" face when he sings? It's so distracting.
I'll never get over how nice Natalie appears to be in pictures. In person she's just so awful.
Nothing awkward about that pose at all. Nope, nothing. Oh, wait....

Sexy Hubby-To-Be

Last night we were over at my sister's house checking out the arch and the bouquets when Keith picked up a guitar and started playing. 
He looked so sexy I just had to take some pics and share. This is my fave pic, but I can't decide which filter I like.
So, I thought I'd include them both with this post. Then you get a double dose of my sexy Keith!

Pinky's Fandance - Sarah Paulson

I've been lucky enough to meet Sarah Paulson several times, but I'm not sure why she looks so odd in this picture.
I mean, obviously she was kind of over the whole picture thing, but normally she's super nice and accommodating. Granted, she was still accommodating, but it's just not the usual cute smile. I'll find some pics and show you the difference. Well, someday (kinda busy with the whole wedding stuff right now).

Wedding Sneak Peek: Flower Girl Outfit

Big thanks to my sister-in-law, Vauri, and her mom, Jan, and Aunt Ann for designing and making these adorable flower girl outfits! 
I think my niece, Ava, is a stunning little model for the outfit, don't you think? They should make those skirts for grown-ups, too! Love it!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Hey Georgie Porgie, how YOU doin'?!?!
Seriously, I'll ask again....didn't Jake used to be hot?
Speaking of used to be hot, what's going on with Ethan these days?
LOVE that dress!!! SO cute!
How long has Richard Gere been homeless?

Wedding Sneak Peek: Flowers

My super cute niece, Phoenix (who is heavily involved in helping my sister with all the flowers right now, I might add), was very excited about her flowers and just sent me this picture.
Apparently, she's been asking to sleep with her flowers because she loves them so much. Awwww....
