Bride tribe went into hibernation for a bit for the holidays, but now it is back in full swing! So, I am kicking off the 2018 Bride Tribe series with our wedding details. I wanted to share them because I love them and I wanted to explain why I thought they were important to have […]

We have been engaged for over a year, and preparing for our wedding started pretty soon after that. We tended to agree on things rather quickly, and it made it easy to get through the checklists. However, this week – this is where it all gets put to the test. This post is going to […]

We are a little over a week away from our wedding, and I figured now would be a great time to post this. Around the time of my parent’s wedding anniversary in June, I decided I wanted to share some wedding advice from my parents and grandparents. I figured this fit into “The Story of […]

We get married in less than three weeks (CRAZY, like SO CRAZY!! 🙂 ) and then the Monday after that we are off to the airport to embark on our Italian Honeymoon. I have posted about our honeymoon before, and gave a bit of a rundown for where we will be going. Our goal is […]

Last weekend, we went to Columbia, Mo., for my bachelorette party!! It was such an amazing time, and exactly what I wanted. We started the day at Confetti Craft Co. It is this great little place downtown where you can craft and drink at the same time. You pick out your craft (not everyone has […]

On a wonderful Saturday in August, Julie, Paula and Gwen, some of my aunts – mostly, hosted a family bridal shower for me at Julie’s house. It was a gorgeous day, and Julie’s back patio has a beautiful view of their lake. My cousin, Tori, took my camera for a bit to get some photos for […]

My first shower (since we are counting the other as an engagement party) was hosted by Karley – my little sister, my MOH, and one of my best friends – and Kali – another best friend, and a bridesmaid. (Couldn’t bring myself to use bestie, so instead you get a bit of redundancy.) They put […]

On Monday night, Justin and took my grandpas to get their suits for our wedding. In case you weren’t aware, these two gentleman will be our officiants for the ceremony. However, I forgot my camera, so please excuse the cell phone photos. 🙂 We met up at the Higginsville junction, and my Grandpa Frank drove […]

Earlier this month, Justin’s aunt and cousin hosted a couples shower/engagement party for us as a way to provide an opportunity for our two families to meet. Since we both come from such large families, we kept the event to just family and the wedding party. We were spoiled with so many recipes, gifts and […]

Well, the countdown continues. We have 115 days until we say “I do!” and  I am so over planning, if we’re being honest here – which we totally can be since I am in charge of this blog. 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, I am still over the moon excited for our big day, but […]
