{Leading up to} Our Wedding

After our friends arrived in Aiken, we wasted no time. We made pedicures our priority before having dinner Thursday at Tako Sushi. Next, we had a party at the bridesmaids' house - a huge cottage we rented at Rose Hill Estate. It was so much fun to stay together and share a house! Highly recommended. We used the cottage for a shower, sun bathing, and even the Farewell Brunch on Sunday morning after the wedding.

Fun Fact

John and I were dressed in identical clown costumes as children.

As you can see, I ditched the bowtie, and yes, those are McDonaldland Cookies on my tray.

{The week of} Our Wedding

I'd like to do a little series about our wedding. It's a way to record a big moment in our life, and most importantly, a place where our future children can read about the way I felt to marry their father. :)

Our wedding week was a thrilling blur of errands and checklists. It was so fun to be at home for longer than the usual 2-3 days with my parents and brother. I had to make endless to-do lists, because I was constantly too excited to remember what I needed to do next.

Et cetera!

Hi friends. We have lots of catching up to do. First, an update:

1. Our wedding day was, without doubt, the best day of our lives - both individually and as a couple.
2. Our honeymoon followed suit to make it - you guessed it - the best week of our lives. 
3. We are overwhelmingly touched by the amount of love and support we felt from our friends and family the weekend we got married. We have more gratitude than I could possibly express in words.
4. Said friends and family are SO MUCH FUN.
5. San Francisco would be an incredible place to live. 
6. California's wine country is unbelievably gorgeous.
7. We're on a serious wedding and love-related high right now, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
