Last weekend Mark and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! After I surprised Mark with the recordings of our ceremony songs by our wedding band and a custom portrait from Rifle Paper Co., Mark led me downstairs to his music studio where he had a big projection screen set up. When he hit play on the projector I got the best anniversary gift I could have asked for. Here’s Mark to explain… Continue reading
Our First Anniversary
Yesterday Mark and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! It’s pretty crazy to think that an entire year has gone by. We kicked off the day by exchanging gifts, followed that up with a lovely brunch date, and then came home and ate the year-old slice of red velvet wedding cake that we had been saving in our freezer… (All I can say about that last part is ick.

Dress Up: Wedding Wear
There are so many things I love about wedding season, but near the top of my list is the excuse to step out in some of my finest threads.

Max and Gen are a pretty stylish pair themselves. Instead of opting for a traditional wedding dress, Genevieve wore a gorgeous navy blue Zac Posen gown down the aisle. It was stunning! In fact, I may have to ask Max and Gen if I can share a few pictures from their wedding in a later post. Stay tuned…
Congrats Maxwell and Genevieve!

And now, onto the rest of the outfit…
My new favorite sandals…
And my chatty new iPhone case from Rifle Paper Co. I’m obsessed!

Relationship Question: Do You Celebrate Your Dating Anniversary?
Confession: Mark and I recently passed our 10-year mark as a couple, but since we got married last June, we pretty much skipped over the date. I sent him a sweet little text reminding him what day it was and he responded, but the day was nothing out of the ordinary. Continue reading
