Forever a newlywed... and forever in love with our wedding day. I 100% look at our wedding photos everyday and I have no shame in that. 😆

Blessed for my marriage, family, friends, and so much more. ✨

Marriage is such a beautiful thing, especially when you get to witness it by your best friends side. Love you, @mollysroka. Blessed to have friendships like this one.

After I had my wedding hair and makeup trail this last summer, Nic grabbed his camera for a mini photoshoot. 😆

This photo was taken mid-sentence, as I was asking him what I should do and how I should pose. I gotta say, it turned out ok, even though I was talking during it. 🤣

Anything for that perfect sunset shot! 🤣 Team work makes the dream work, my friends.

Our honeymoon to Sonoma and San Francisco was one for the books. The wine, the laughs, the adventures, the photos, the memories… it was an amazing trip. We went on a sunset cruise past the golden gate, and let me tell ya, it was beyond breathtaking. The sun set beautifully behind the bridge, the colors were magical, my husband was by my side…and in that moment, nothing else mattered except the beauty right in front of us. These moments are the ones that you never forget, the moments that stay in your heart forever. ✨

There’s a story behind everything. Our wedding had many of them.

My veil wasn’t any ordinary veil. It was my mom’s veil when she got married 37 years ago. If that’s not sweet enough, the older man who cleaned it at the dry cleaners reminded me of my grandpa, and I felt like we had such a special bond because of it. And if THAT’S not enough, Nic’s college professor and our dear friend redid the veil for me, added a clip to it and made it my own.

My mother-in-law and I hand picked the invites together, and it was such a special experience to share with her. Her dad, Nic’s grandpa, was a printer and owned a printing press, which made the experience of picking these special invitations so beautiful. I still look at the invites everyday. They’re breathtaking.

The day before the wedding, I realized I didn’t have a something blue, so my bridesmaid Maddy painted the bottom of my shoes blue. Little did we know, the paint squeaked on the church floors, so she had to sand it off wedding morning. Nonetheless, it was still blue, and didn’t squeak wedding day.

My mom bought my earrings for me the day I bought my wedding dress, I still remember trying them on as we sipped champagne.
My engagement and wedding ring is a constant reminder of my deep love for Nic, all the memories we’ve made and all the stories we continue making together.

Life is full of stories, little moments and special memories. Cherish them all. Every single one of them. ❤️

Some random Tuesday thoughts of things that I’m grateful for and things that make me happy:

1) My marriage
2) Though Nic travels weekly, that our communication is strong
3) Warm sheets that are straight out of the dryer
4) Sushi on Sunday
5) All the good people in the world
6) Seeing passion in people’s eyes
7) Giving back
8) Lunch box notes
9) Family and friends
10) Replaying memories

Life is a gift, and it’s important to stop once in awhile and remind yourself of the things your grateful for, who you’re grateful for, and the things that make you happy.

What makes you happy? What are you thankful for? ❤️
