Musical Monday: Diamonds (Rhianna)

   

Today is release day for the second book in the POUR DECISIONS wedding series--Kate Davies' My Wine and Only!

This song is one Kate mentioned listening to while writing the book. As I understand it, her daughter recommended it. Fun fact: it also features on the Heated Rivalry soundtrack.

Rosa and Jake are getting married–again! 

Jake

 

Rosa and I have been married for twelve years, but it seems like just yesterday we got together. 

 

Okay, that could be because just days after our quickie, teenage elopement to Vegas we separated and didn’t see each other for a decade. But now that we’ve reconnected, it feels like the perfect time to renew our vows, right? Have that do-over wedding of our dreams, one that includes family and friends and all the trappings of a wedding we didn’t get the first time around. But Rosa’s avoiding anything to do with planning for our do-over wedding, and I’m worried that maybe she doesn’t actually want to do this. 

 

So I’ve got six weeks to figure out what’s really going on with Rosa, kick-start the vow renewal planning, and ensure that whatever we do, it’s exactly the way we want it.

 

Easy peasy, right? 

 

Please send wine.

This is another song that Kelly Jamieson picked for our joint playlist for the POUR DECISIONS wedding stories. Her book, Eat, Drink and Be Married released last week. And if you haven't picked up a copy yet, what are you waiting for?

Eat, Drink, and be Married 
By Kelly Jamieson 

Bianca

I’m getting married and this wedding has to be perfect. I’ve planned everything down to the minute, and approved every flower, bow, and candle. With a brilliant wedding decorator and my meticulous planning and attention to detail, what could possibly go wrong?

It turns out…a lot.

All my life, I felt overshadowed by my two sisters and felt I could never measure up to the family winemaking name. That’s why this has to be flawless. So when things start going wrong on our wedding day, I’m distraught. Not only am I embarrassed but…are we even really married?

Wine Wednesday: Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon

I never heard of this wine until a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. It's such a California Cab. Velvety mouth feel. Black cherry on the nose along with hints of dark chocolate. It made me homesick. I drank it with a flank steak topped with onions and peppers. It was an okay pairing. I think this wine needed something with more of an umami edge to it--maybe the fabulous roasted Brussels sprouts they make at the Paso Robles Inn.

Nice Day for a Wine Wedding 
By PG Forte

There are a lot of reasons people choose to elope. We’ve already figured out most of them.

Clay

​How hard could it be to plan a simple wedding? If recent experience has taught me anything, the answer is very. Once Legs’ Uncle Geno got involved things started spiraling out of control. We really should’ve eloped.

 Allegra

​I’m not saying Clay’s wrong about Geno, but it was his family who turned our rehearsal dinner into a circus. But we’re not eloping. We’re going to work out the problems and have the wedding of our dreams. Assuming we both show up for it.
