One Year

One year ago today I was waking up so excited, having brunch and giggling with my bridesmaids while getting hair and makeup done,  changing my last name, walking down the aisle, saying "I do" and marrying my husband, celebrating the entire night and weekend with all of our closest family and friends.

One year ago I became a married lady and married my best friend.

We celebrated and partied all day and all night long.  We celebrated the entire night before at the rehearsal dinner and the entire day after with both brunch and a BBQ back at our house.  It was the best weekend of love, fun and celebration with our favorite people.


I honestly can't believe it's already been one year.  This past year has flown by and we've had the best time being newlyweds (I've decided I'm going to continue calling myself a newlywed… forever)

In our first year we turned our newly built house into a home and settled in.  We celebrated our first married holiday season.  We made our family a family of three adding little Stella pup to the clan. We traveled to Bora Bora, Texas, Bermuda and California (with visits to New Jersey, Washington DC, New York, Maryland).  We had weekly date nights and tried more new restaurants that I can count. We watched every episode of Entourage together during the coldest winter.  We spent time with our friends and family.  We fell more and more in love.

praying on our new marriage - one of my favorites

It's only fitting that today we are back in the town we met and celebrating another wedding.  We got in some pre-celebrations before we left, will continue with the top tier of our wedding cake (cake, yes!) and some more celebrations tomorrow once we're back at our Labor Day BBQ and possibly into the weekend (is there ever too much celebrating?!)  

Now that it's been a year and the wedding is on my mind again - I'll be getting around to sharing some wedding/bride topics that I didn't quite get around to yet throughout the next month or so.  If your a bride to be and have any questions or topics you'd like covered, now is the time to request below!
