I thought it would be fun to introduce the wedding party, since they are all such a big part of our day! We are so grateful that these people will be standing by our sides as we tie the knot, and I can’t wait to spend time celebrating with them. 🙂 This is not a […]

In April, Justin and I met with our wedding photographers, Mike and Julie of JSi Photography. We had so much fun and it felt more like hanging out with friends than stiff, formal portraits. We loved their focus on natural interactions and we have so many photos of us laughing that I will cherish forever. I […]

It was May of 2015, and it was one of our first vacations together (other than the lake). We were driving to Chicago with a group of our friends to watch the Kansas City Royals. Tickets were purchased, hotel rooms reserved (more like motel I suppose?) and transportation was acquired. The road trip We all […]

Registering for our wedding sounded fun initially, but no one really prepares you for how daunting and/or exhausting it can be. When we went to register, we were (for the most part) just set loose in the store. One of the places we went gave us an idea of what we should be looking for, […]

On our checklist this month was finding and ordering wedding attire. For me, that involved wedding dress shopping, and for Justin that meant getting all of his measurements for his suit. We’ve each had a pretty good idea of the type of attire we’d like on that day, although I’ve been much more secretive about […]

We have had a very productive January when it comes to wedding planning! While we were not very active in November and December of 2016, we took January by storm and wanted to get as much done as we could. We met with three of our vendors and were able to get back into the swing […]

It was the summer after I graduated from the University of Missouri, and I was going on a float trip with a friend. It was my first (and only) float trip, and the girl I went with was the only person on the trip that I knew. I met many new people that weekend, but Justin […]

We have 11 months until we get married and I am so stinking excited!! 🙂 Planning for our big day has been interesting. Right after we got engaged we were crazy busy planning for about a week. Then, I suggested we take a week to just enjoy it. I wanted us to have some time to just be happy that we were taking this […]
