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.

Moving into 2021!
Can you believe that we are nearing the end of January 2021 already?! I could have sworn just yesterday we walked into the year 2021. Time is flying by and I have no idea how it’s moving this fast. There’s been so much happening but yet I still find myself dreaming of all the beautiful memories that occurred in 2020. I wanted to share some of my favorites and then also update everyone on what’s to come for 2021. So many things are already underway! January: Right off the bat we started 2020 with such a good vibe by getting into the restaurant called “Chef Vola’s” in Atlantic City, New…

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…

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…

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…

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 #2 – Choosing Your Venue!
Today officially announces 4 months until John and I’s big day. How crazy is that?! In celebration of today being on a Wednesday I knew I had to write my second “Wedding Wednesday” post. Click here to see the first. I want to talk about wedding venues, including our own. In the beginning of the engagement, after the huge high you’re on, I froze and was not sure what I was suppose to do. Being one of the first friends in my group getting married made me feel as if I almost had no one to turn to. All I could see was a huge to do list in front…

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…

We got a puppy and I’m engaged!
Hi all! I know I haven’t been great with updating you on my West Coast trip and so many other adventures in my life but it’s been a crazy end to our beautiful summer. We got a puppy Golden Retriever named Maverick and then a few weeks later I got engaged. It’s been a very exciting time to be me! Full disclosure: This blog is mostly photos but I promise they are cute! John and I both knew we wanted a puppy for a while but we struggled to find a dog that we felt would blend with our family. We definitely had a lot to consider since John is…
