It’s May 1st which means it’s officially OUR ANNIVERSARY MOOOOOOONTH. Wedding anniversary numero uno is fast approaching! And while we try to figure out what we’re doing to celebrate (and what potentially paper-themed gifts to get each other), I’m going to share a little recap of all the blog posts I published surrounding our big…
Our Wedding: Part 2
That’s right – I’m finally sharing the second part to our wedding recap! I’ve been teasing it here and there, and yesterday, I finally found the motivation to dig through our many awesome pics to find some highlights to share. I already talked main points in Our Wedding: Part 1, but if you’re anything like me,…
Honeymooning in San Francisco
As of today, it has been two weeks since our adventure-filled honeymoon! I figured it was about time to share the details, even though this is a little bit backwards because I’m waiting on our wedding pictures to share that series of posts. Nothing like a little vacation talk to distract until then. 😉 If…
The Soundtrack to Our Wedding
Music is one of my favorite parts of…all events, really. So naturally, I had to share a post about all the awesome music we chose for our wedding day. This component was, by far, one of the best parts of our wedding. I’m so happy with all of our choices, and I want to relive…
Our Wedding: Part 1
After 6.5 wonderful years of dating (1.5 of which were our looong engagement), we’re finally Mr. and Mrs.!! Our wedding was a whirlwind of a day, but it was a lot of fun. The whole time it didn’t really feel like our wedding, to be honest. You go to so many weddings over your lifetime, and…
A Few of My Favorite Things
So I’ve been talking about our fast-approaching wedding day, but I don’t think I’ve said anything about that little post-wedding detail known as the honeymoon. We decided awhile ago to go on a mini honeymoon right off the bat; then for our one year anniversary, we’d go on a more extravagant trip. Since we’re already…
My Virtual Wedding Shower
So as you may or may not know, I’m getting married soon. Like really soon. In a month soon. Due to the wedding being in my homeland of Illinois and us living in California, I haven’t been able to have a wedding shower. Part of me doesn’t care; the other part is a wee bit…
What to Consider Before Creating a Wedding Registry
Over the weekend, we made some pretty big progress in the wedding planning department. I’m quite pumped about it. First of all, I’ve finally collected almost all of the addresses I need to send our save the dates. Second, we started our wedding registry! To be honest, I wasn’t too excited about starting a registry…
My Wedding Fitness Plan + Jack Link’s Giveaway {Closed}
So it recently occurred to me that I should probably start thinking about getting in shape for my wedding, since it’s about 9 months away. If I looked exactly how I do right now for it, I’d be perfectly happy, but I mean…why not strive for being a buff bride, am I right? To be…
Wedding Planning Update + My Favorite Things
Remember that one time I got engaged? Well wedding planning hasn’t exactly been my favorite activity over the past seven months—in fact, eloping often sounds fun to me. Despite this, we’ve actually made some nice progress in the planning department. We’ve got our ceremony site, reception venue, DJ, florist, and photographer. We kind of had to…
How I Asked My Friends to Be Bridesmaids
Matt and I just returned to San Diego yesterday from a long, wedding-filled weekend. We flew home to go to his friend’s wedding, and we took advantage of the trip to meet with some potential vendors for our wedding (just about a year away! woo!). ‘Twas quite the busy trip (per usual), but I’m happy…
