My bridesmaids got personalized hangers when asked to be in my wedding. My fiancé, Devin, also wanted to do something special and unique for his groomsmen.

Punta Cana was the trip of a lifetime. I will truly cherish the memories that were made on this trip. Dune bugging, walks on the beach, laughter and family. BEST TIME EVER. The 9 months of planning and stress were all worth it! It was also a very nice break from wedding planning! 🙂

Got engaged, now what do I do? As the excitement from our engagement died down, it was time to get down to business and plan our wedding. As I wrote out a to-do list for the wedding, I quickly got overwhelmed. We had to set a budget. Pick a date. Find a venue. Book a photographer. Hire…
We booked the Dekalb History Center at the Historic DeKalb Courthouse in Downtown Decatur for our wedding on September 12, 2015. It’s a gorgeous venue and goes with the elegant feel we want for my wedding. Also, it’s only five minutes from my house. We visited three other venues, but I knew all along I wanted this…
