Save the Date Picture: Phlysse Navidad

Phil and I always had a long distance relationship, he lived in Cleveland and I lived in Columbus and Canton. When you’re in a long distance relationship you talk on the phone a lot and sometimes you run out of things to talk about. Sometimes you have to get creative with your conversations. That includes singing songs, discussing random news found on Twitter, or just saying plain ol’ silly stuff. In the world of entertainment news, celebrity couples always have combined names. The original celebrity couple name of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called”Bennifer” or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes called “TomKat” or more recently Kim Kardashian and Kanye West called “Kimye.” Naturally one night of conversation we talked about what Phil and I’s celebrity name would be. We talked about “Ahil,” “Plysse,” “Alillip” but finally came up with the perfect celebrity name “Phlysse” pronounced “Feliz” the Spanish word for happy. Once Christmas rolled around while listening to “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano on the radio we decided that was our Christmas song and simply changed the spelling of the song to our celebrity couple nickname. After we got engaged at the end of October , I knew a Christmas card with “Phlysse Navidad” would be the perfect save the date. Thanks to my Mom’s early Christmas present and Phil’s brother Steve’s camera skills we had the perfect save the date/Christmas card. Phlysse Navidad everyone!!
