If any of you have ever watched The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo,

then you'll be familiar with the phrase: "I...Die!" ~

it's usually used in the context of something being so gorgeous,

so absolutely perfect, that you simply may cease being

from the overall loveliness overload.

This wedding, friends, is one of those occasions that calls for us

to channel Rachel. First off, it took place in the glorious Topanga Canyon,

at a heavenly venue called The Mermaid,

which we were unfamiliar with and it's in our own backyard!

Evidently (and quite understandably)

it is frequently used for photo and film shoots.
