Wedding in the Gardens

Travel

I’m back in Atlanta after a week at home for wedding planning and a weekend trip to my cousin’s wedding! The wedding was amazing and soo sweet. It took place in an outdoor chapel, so I got front row seating. The ceremony was quite emotional and very beautiful. I think it made Matt and I nervous to say our vows:) My cousin Chris (the bride’s brother), is a talented musician and he performed during the ceremony – you can hear…

Unreliable

Travel

When you’re in a house built in the 1800’s, the internet isn’t so reliable. I was just in the middle of wedding research when it disappeared (publishing this hours later). Earlier in the day, I had found my DREAM wedding coordinator/florist/decor person who works closely with a cake person all-in-one and was so pumped to be using her for everything, and just before I booked the package, I found out someone else swooped in and took my date. While it’s…

One more week of work!!!! So pumped to be on summer vacation so I can dream about wedding details! Did I mention we have a wedding date, because we have a date!

Next on my to-do list is picking out save-the-dates and making a…

Another ‘I Do’

Travel

Saturday’s wedding was delightful. The sun popped out just in the time for the 4 o’clock ceremony (thus the squinty eyes). I really didn’t think Houston was that hot, but I’m sure the men felt differently in their suits. The church was beautiful and I loved the candles in the background. I also think it’s sweet when the whole family goes up to the altar for a blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Monda!! The gals during cocktail hour: I had my…

Oh Hey Houston

Travel

Thursday was mostly dedicated to traveling, but we did have time for a short visit + lunch in Albuquerque before our flight. We walked around the Old Town area, and stumbled across the rattlesnake museum. We didn’t have time to go in, but they had big turtles crawling around outside. And then we spotted the cage labeled “desert scorpion.” I’ve spent most of the trip tiptoeing around and trying to avoid corners in fear of these guys, so when one…

Celebration of Love

Twenties

Look at this cute usher I found at the wedding! This weekend’s wedding was held at a Santa Monica beach resort – there’s really nothing more beautiful than the ocean as the backdrop for a wedding. The only problem was the cold California breeze. The groomsmen are all Matt’s friends from Davidson. I drool over a man in a black tux…. The bride was breathtaking!!! The kiss… The girls warmed up with cocktails while the boys posed for pics. I…
