Timelines are stressful and couples planning weddings are often afraid they are leaving things out. The truth is, that’s rare.

My husband and I were married on a beautiful fall day in 2009. It was chilly, but the leaves were beautiful. I had H1N1 with a fever of 103.8 when I walked down the aisle. We didn’t realize of course just how sick I was then, but suffice it to say, I did not feel […]
If only one good thing comes out of my life being pretty much completely on hold right now, other than flattening the curve, perhaps it’s that I’ve had the time to put some deep thought into things I’ve had on my to-do list for a while. One of those things was revamping the titles of […]

If you haven’t heard…I really love wine. So naturally a wedding held at my favorite winery is going to be high on my list of faves and this one last June did not disappoint. Dana and Jake picked the amazing Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery as the setting for their wedding ceremony and reception. Chankaska […]

There’s beauty appointments, relatives coming in from out of town, and bridesmaids wondering what they should do with their hair…it’s EXCITING. […]
