Phew! What a weekend!! Natalie and Tad had the most beautiful wedding. The entire weekend went flawlessly and now Tad has whisked Natalie away for a week in MONTEGO BAY! How he was able to keep that a secret for 1.5 years is beyond me!!
Today, I thought I would share a few photos…they are mostly from what I was able to capture on my phone!
The week leading up to the big day was full of errands and pampering. I was put on the handwriting tasks as soon as a I arrived. Hello doctor handwriting. Even the errands were fun. We obviously found time to sneak in some margs and queso.
The bridal luncheon was at The Raphael Hotel. Pomegranate mimosas, macaroons, good company.
After we successfully rehearsed, we were off to Fogo De Chao and got our feast on. Delicious. Natalie and the bridesmaids then returned to our hotel room for a good ol’ fashioned sleepover!
The next morning, we got up and headed to Belle Époque to get our hair and makeup done.
After the nuptials we headed onto a trolley to take pictures around the Plaza.
The reception at The Intercontinental Hotel was just beautiful! Obviously, professional pictures by the fabulous Dale Benfield will be available soon so get excited!!
Happy Tuesday, friends!

Good morning!! So, yesterday was hard. I can’t believe it’s already time to say goodbye. It feels like just yesterday I was standing on the curb waiting to get them off the bus thinking, what have I gotten myself into!? To yesterday, running after the bus to give them one last hug! They are forever my students.
And, I’m not sure if any of you noticed, but it is JUNE. Holy cow. I think there’s a wedding this weekend? Matt and I took on a lot of outdoor projects in May (including redoing the deck! Bring on the summer BBQs!) and I have some pretty sweet tan/burn lines that need fixing before Saturday. Thoughts?
Speaking of weddings, I leave tomorrow for KC and I literally have a mountain of a to do list to accomplish before my 6 am flight. And then it’s wedding, wedding, wedding! Let’s get these two hitched! In light of that, Natalie and I will be taking a little break from regularly scheduled posts. Be sure to follow all the wedding shenanigans on Instagram!
We will see you back here next Tuesday worn out and wedded. By we I mean I, as Natalie will have been whisked away on her surprise honeymoon!!!
Have a happy week my friends!

Happy Wednesday, folks! This week has been overwhelming to say the least (in a very good way!). I am officially done with medical school, we heard good news on the Memphis front (more details later!), and I’m getting my bridal portraits done today! And the week is only halfway done!
With all the changes going on, I am still squeezing in time to shop for the honeymoon. It’s all about priorities! Never mind the ceremony programs still aren’t ordered and I still haven’t run that marathon… I gotta gets me a new swimsuit!
Below are some fabulous items that are on my must-buy bucket list for the honeymoon. The location still remains a secret which is pretty dang impressive considering it’s been a secret for a year! I guess I’ll find out in a little over a month! Eeek!
J.Crew- Tie-front Halter Top in Liberty Ricardo’s Blooms
J.Crew- Hipster in Liberty Ricardo’s Blooms
Maslin & Co.- Turquoise Zebra Beach Towel
BaubleBar- Crystal Mesopotamia Drops
Have a great day, friends! Hope your week is treating you well!

Good morning!! Today, I thought I would share a little detail from Natalie’s bachelorette party! I put these ‘recovery kits’ together as favors for the girls!
1. Gum
2. Nail File (found at Bath an Body Works, but couldn’t find online)
3. Mini bags filled with Advil
4. Touch Up Hair Towelettes
5. Face Wipes
Gold Dot Washi Tape/Glitter Clothespins/Chevron Bags (similar)
You could definitely throw all kinds of stuff in here! These were so fun and easy to put together! And a pretty practical favor for the girls!
