Wedded Bliss

One of the best days of my life by far.  Low stress and we just enjoyed everything and everyone.  It was truly a family centered day.  We never intended to have a big wedding but rather a destination wedding for three.  When 3 of our parents took seriously ill, later compounded  by relocating, our priorities changed.  We wanted to celebrate life and love and leave NY in style surrounded by the people we love the most.  Planned in just 4 months;  every vendor, every guest, every detail was easy and more amazing that I could have imagined.  Nearly 100 people came from as far as 3000 miles away to share our day.  Pics taken by friends who play such a pivotal role in both our daily lives and this day.  The the map cake was a surprise for my husband who is a road travel kind of guy.  Every state (14) we've traveled to was marked with a heart, a replica of our house in Florida and all the amazing memories we've shared the past 4 years.  More to follow when proofs come in.









I heart giveaways

I met Crissie on Clickin Moms. She's an amazing sports photographer; you know the one who gets the soccer goal kicker in mid air or the crash of the football players?  Yep, that's her.  She started an etsy shop and made Emme and her best buds great tees last July 4th.  Her business is really growing and she's offering a giveaway.  Here's the 411
