    Our Honeymoon – Day 3 – Flying Over Kauai

    This is post #3 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read the other posts first – they’re listed chronologically here 🙂 Day 3 – Monday, February 5 After a long day of travel the day before, we were ready and excited to get up and explore Hawaii! And when we woke up, we were shocked to find THIS outside our hotel window: The place completely TRANSFORMED in the day time! It was so dark the night before that we didn’t even know our little lanai had this stunning view of the mountains…

    Our Honeymoon – Day 2 – From CA to HI

    This is post #2 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read day 1 first 🙂 All posts will be listed here! Day 2 – Sunday, February 4 After such a fun-filled (but tiring!) first day at Disneyland, we were ready for more excitement on our second day.

    Our Honeymoon – Day 1 – Off to Disneyland!

    Today I am SO thrilled to finally start writing about our fantastic honeymoon to Disneyland and Hawaii! I guess I technically already started writing about it with my Club 33 Review, but I was so excited to write that one that I just couldn’t help myself. But the time has come to write about all of the OTHER fun things we did…and there are a lot! This doesn’t really need any more of an introduction so let’s just dive right in 🙂 Day 0 – Friday, February 2 To begin I’ll actually rewind a bit to start off right where…

    Our Wedding Day – Part 2

And again – this post is going to be a long one, so settle in! Friday, February 2, 2018 – Part 2 When we left off, it was just about time to start lining up for the ceremony. I was told that all the guests…

    Our Wedding Album (+ a Shutterfly Sale!)

    Just a quick post for today – things have been crazy but I wanted to at least post SOMETHING since it’s been a while! I have a ton of posts in my drafts I’ve been working on but nothing to post just yet…until today haha. I wanted to pop in and just share a short post about our wedding album! As soon as we got our wedding photos back I knew I wanted to use them in a bunch of different ways, to display and look at forever! One of the ideas I had was a huge album full of…

Now that we have successfully planned and executed our perfect wedding (seriously, everything was perfect), I’m really excited to write about all the planning after the fact, what worked and what didn’t, and all the stuff I just didn’t have time to tell you before.

Every aspect of our day was pretty much perfect and it was the best day ever!! Immediately after our wedding Chris and I embarked on the most AMAZING honeymoon visiting Disneyland and Hawaii!
