Cotton Candy

source

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.Don't you want to stand still with me?

1) Mexican Wedding Cookies


Pastelitos de boda (literally, "wedding cookies") are a traditional dessert at Mexican weddings. Made with walnuts, pecans, or almonds, they're a sweet way to thank guests for sharing the day. To give as favors, tuck two into a tiny clear box along with a note imprinted with a fitting sentiment or your wedding date. Type on a computer, print on colored vellum, then cut the messages into tiny strips.

Makes 20

* 1 cup almonds, plus 40 more for decorating
* 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
* 2 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
* 1 large egg white, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup almonds on a baking sheet; toast until fragrant, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
2. Put toasted almonds, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a food processor; process until almonds are finely chopped, about 1 minute. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle, cream butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar on medium until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add vanilla and almond extracts, and mix until combined. Add the almond mixture, and mix on low until dough just comes together.
4. Roll dough into twenty 1 1/2-inch balls; place on ungreased baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.
5. Toss 1 tablespoon beaten egg white and remaining 40 whole almonds in a small bowl to coat. Press two almonds into each cookie.
6. Bake cookies until lightly browned around the edges, about 25 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack; let stand until cool enough to handle.
7. Place remaining 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Roll warm cookies in sugar, reserving any remaining sugar. Return cookies to baking sheets. Let cookies cool 15 minutes, and roll again. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Hairstyle

Sometimes simple really is better, and this bride has the best of both worlds. Like an updo, her hair is swept off her face, so it won't be in her way, but she still has the relaxed, natural look of wearing her hair down and free! Love it!

Wedding Engagement Ideas

Size Matters

Decide how big your wedding will be before you start choosing your attendants—an informal wedding looks silly with a giant wedding party.

Hidden Expenses

When you're mapping out your budget, build in a cushion for "hidden" expenses such as tips for the waitstaff, bartenders, and valets; postage costs; alterations; and wine corkage fees.

Worth a Thousand Words

Every bride wants her wedding to be a one-of-a-kind celebration. So put pen to paper and draw out your unique ideas. Even if you're not an artist, a rough sketch can go miles in conveying your specific wishes to your vendors.

Insure Away

After calling your parents and best buds to share the exciting news of your engagement, make sure to call your insurance company. Put your ring on your homeowner's policy as soon as possible in case something happens to it. Your fiancé should have a certificate of appraisal so you know what rate to insure it at. And don't forget to renew the policy every year.
