Changing Your Name After Marriage & Why I’m Taking His Name [Newlywed 101]

When we had the wedding and all related festivities, some people asked me if I was changing my name. For me, it wasn’t much of a question. I considered my options, and chose what fit best for me. Brighton didn’t care one way or another, and let me choose for myself. In addition, I’ve read […]

10 Hours in Asheville, North Carolina [Mini-Moon]

Our second day of our mini-moon in the Smokies was just as adventurous as our first… but in a different way. One of the parts of our mini-moon I was most looking forward to was Asheville. Everyone I’d talked to said that I would love it! It didn’t disappoint. I felt like Asheville was like […]

Decor & Details [Wedding]

Details of a wedding are very important to set the tone of the big day! We wanted our garden wedding to be casual, yet fun and relaxed with rustic tendencies. Since we chose to have the wedding in Florida, and I couldn’t have mountains as my backdrop, I desperately wanted something “nature-ish” as our venue. […]

Great Smoky Mountain National Park [Mini-Moon]

After the wedding, we knew we wanted to do some sort of “honeymoon” to give us some time to recover and celebrate being married. We want to go to New Zealand, which will definitely happen in the next few years, but we felt that it was economically irresponsible to try to pay for such a […]

Bachelorette Weekend in Savannah, Georgia [Wedding]

Originally we looked at going to Key West, but it was still Spring Break for many colleges and schools, and we didn’t want […]

Salt Lake City Bridal Shower [Wedding]

Last weekend, my future mother in law and sister in law threw me a bridal shower to celebrate with my SLC friends and almost-family. It was hosted at my sister in law’s gorgeous new house. It’s something you’d see in a home magazine, seriously. Anyways, it was somewhat last minute, so we gathered all the […]

What Getting Married Means to Me [Wedding]

As I am only three weeks away from getting married, I am reflecting on what marriage really means to me. When I first announced that I was getting married to my friends and family, they were a mixed of shocked and excited. Obviously, they were excited because I have found someone that I want to […]

1 Month to Go! [Wedding]

34 Days and Counting… Wednesday marks the official 1 month out countdown until our wedding! Some part of me is stressed about getting everything done. The other part of me is feeling like the end is in sight, and I am ready. Last time I checked in about wedding stuff was about a month ago. […]
