Wedding Wednesday – The Wedding!
Our final Wedding Wednesday post! I am very happy to celebrate this day has finally come where I can write all about my day, my amazing venue, and my rockstar vendors! Many of you know how hard it was being a bride during COVID and dealing with SO many cancelations. It was honestly a very emotional time but was worth the wait. Below I will go into details of the day, share our stunning photos, recommend our awesome vendors, and express my forever gratitude to our venue and their team! I feel so blessed.

Our Secret Elopement
Oh my gosh, we FINALLY got married. Let me first off say to everyone I love dearly that this was a hard decision. This is NOT how I saw my wedding taking place. I wanted one big wedding with everyone I loved at the same place at the same time. I felt a sense of betrayal running away secretly to marry the love of my life. I wasn’t even sure if it would feel like the right thing to do in the moment and I was beyond torn/heart broken. Deep down I knew this was the right thing for us as a couple but it was still hard to not…

Friday Night Flights: Sangria Tapas Restaurant Review
I’m not sure about you, but with summer coming to an end I am craving EVERY kind of food imaginable. I think my body is thriving on the last warms days we have left and taking full advantage of going out to eat at restaurant patios every chance I get. It sure is making my life expensive but extremely tasteful. My good friend came across a restaurant called “Sangria Tapas Restaurant” in Mahwah, NJ and they had me at “Sangria” and “Tapas.” I LOVE sangria. To me it’s the perfect summer sipping drink. I also love to share food so Sangria and Tapas honestly sounded like a match made in…

Wedding Wednesday – The Struggle of Being a COVID Bride
As many of you are aware, since I have posted about it time and time again, John and I were suppose to wed Saturday, April 18, 2020. There was so much excitement in the air and yet a feeling of anxiety whenever I would glance at my list of things left to do. The feeling was overwhelming but so magical at the same time. We were only about 4 weeks away from the big day when I received the dreaded phone call I was hoping I would be lucky enough to avoid. “Due to COVID-19 we need to reschedule your wedding.” Can we take a moment and realize how devastating…

Bushkill Falls – The Niagara of Pennsylvania
I find it difficult to continuously think of fun ideas to explore when COVID is roaming the earth. This makes my summer bucket list almost impossible to tackle. Luckily, John and I are avid hikers, which gives us wiggle room on adventures. This past, long 4th of July weekend, we decided to go camping and head over to Bushkill Falls, PA. Being as Bushkill is about a 2 1/2 hour drive, having our dogs, and COVID still on the rise, we decided the safest route for an overnight was camping instead of a hotel. We decided to camp at Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA Holiday, which is only…

Anna Maria Island, FL
Hi all! So excited to tell you all about this trip! For Thanksgiving my family and I went to Anna Maria Island, FL. John and I headed on a 17 hour road trip to bring the pups….YES….we drove 17 hours just to bring the pups with us. It was exhausting. I know Thanksgiving, November 2019, was SO long ago but what better time than now to post this and relive all the beautiful moments we had before the devastating COVID struck our world! I hope everyone finds enjoyment out of this post during such a crazy time. Just as an FYI this post probably has the most photos I have…

Wedding Wednesday #4 – My Bridal Shower!
I curled my hair, clipped pieces back, painted make up on my face, and then slipped into my white dress for my Bridal Shower. This was the first true moment everything hit me. I was getting married in less than 2 months. I stood there, staring at myself in the mirror, so beyond blessed to be celebrating a day between the love of my life and myself. There was no one better to share this special day with than all my friends and family. I have never felt so loved before. Get ready to be splurged of all the cutest and thoughtful pictures of that day. I am so happy…

West Coast Road Trip: Finale-Part 6 – Oregon!
Hi guys I can’t believe we’re at the final stretch! This is the last post of our West Coast Road Trip and I am sad to see it end. This trip was a once in a lifetime whirlwind and we had the best time. I think something I took away from this whole experience was being able to spend 2 full weeks in a car with John and not having fights or disagreements. We truly are great travel companions and I think that is so important to have, especially since we LOVE to travel. With that being said, let’s jump right into it! After the Redwood National and State Parks…

Wedding Wednesday #3 – Saying Yes To Your Dress!
We are less than 3 months out and there is still so much to do! It’s crazy! One of the most fun things for me was picking out my wedding dress and my girl’s bridesmaid dresses. I was so excited to go dress shopping and honestly hoped I would go to a few different bridal stores but funny enough I found my dress in the first store I stepped into! Not only that but it was the 4th dress I tried on. People say when they find their dress they know it’s “the one.” I didn’t believe it until it happened to me! I actually went to one other store…

Wedding Wednesday #1 – The Engagement Shoot!
Oh my goodness you guys! I can’t believe our wedding is less than 6 months away, how crazy is that?! Planning has been so fun but also extremely stressful. I thought every so often, on a Wednesday, I would share my journey with you and some tips I learned along the way. I’m one of the first girls out of my group of friends to be getting married so I sometimes feel like the guinea pig. No one has any idea what we’re doing but we’re learning and I know it’ll all come together. I absolutely had to share my engagement photo shoot with ya’ll as I had an amazing…
