Wedding Videos Part 1

While I'm no longer a bride-to-be, I did want to update this blog with a few post-wedding notes as my husband and I enjoy our first few months as a married couple. To begin, we are eagerly awaiting our official videographer's film, which takes a few months after the big day to arrive. Thank goodness we received our pictures within 10 days or I would be going a little crazy right now (you know how important pictures are to me, lol). Wedding photos can be viewed from our lovely photographer's page here. As far as video, in the meantime I have guest-recorded videos I can watch, and slideshows I can put together. For posterity's sake, here are a few of my favorites:

The ceremony:

The dance:

Then January (one month post wedding) brought about our honeymoon, which was a dream all in itself! I could describe the details of the honeymoon for hours (we spent a day at each of four Disney World parks, we went on carriage rides and boat rides, we walked across a bridge above crocodiles, we took over 400 couples photos including with Mickey Mouse himself!) but it might be easier just to show them in a video too:

February as a married couple had Valentine's Day and hubby's birthday! It's exciting having my first Valentine's Day as a wife and my first chance to get to spoil a husband on his day. Unfortunately I caught a cold during that week, but we still managed to have some very special activities. Dear husband brought me home surprise roses before Valentine's Day and took me to the mall to get me a Build-a-Bear of "Beast" from Beauty and the Beast (who else?). On his birthday I took him to see the Marvel movie Black Panther, and we enjoyed a dinner with friends at the Texas de Brazil steakhouse. We both have fond memories already and a few traditions started (Valentine's Day tacos anyone?).

Next up should hopefully be the official wedding video whenever it arrives and the official wedding album that will be printed in March. And then I can officially close the wedding experience (well, once I finish up all the thank you notes!) and open up the next exciting chapter of our lives: starting a family!

Mani-Pedi Ready

The wedding is officially SEVEN days away. That means that in one week (give or take a few hours), I will be a "Mrs." Exciting! Scary! Both! But in order to keep the big day from being too scary, I just have to make sure I'm prepared. That means perfecting our first dance choreography ( see next post ) and taking care of any final items that need to be done before the wedding. That means finishing the favors, printing the programs, and nailing my wedding-day nails look. I wish I could take credit for my new French tips, but I don't know the first thing about nail polish. My fiance's mom treated me to a mani-pedi (the second one I've ever had in my life and my first one with gels!) at The Nail Shoppe LV in town. I'm ready for ring shots!

Coming Together

I've been excited. I've been scared. I've been a bride to be...but not for long! It's really, truly all coming together now (as it hopefully should with just one full day left to go!). There have been stressful moments, mostly brought about by overworrying--about the weather, about our first dance, and about trying to make sure everyone is happy. But in the end, we have tried our best and done all we can. No matter what happens, it will be beautiful because it will be ours. And now that we are so close to the big day, I'm starting to reach more mellow points where the wedding preparation is fun again too. Giving presents (and receiving presents!). Finishing up the final DIY decor. Seeing the groomsmen in their snazzy black and gold tuxes. Writing the final drafts of our speeches and remembering why we love each other. It's important to enjoy those moments. Because I won't be a bride to be forever. Tomorrow I become a bride! ...

More Dance Lessons!

We are definitely getting down to the wire with our wedding countdown (only 7 more days!). That means we have to perfect our first dance, which has been a fun challenge but also one of the aspects of the wedding that makes me nervous. Recite lasting promises of commitment to each other in front of 144 family and friends? No problem. Last on the dance floor for not even four minutes? Terrifying! Despite the fear of falling on my face (I've never actually practiced our dance in the dress so it's entirely possible), we've managed to get at least "decent" at the choreography. So now it's just a matter of fixing our little mistakes. Don't look at my feet. Don't forget to smile. Keep a straight line with shoulders. Glide when I walk. It's like learning to be a princess! Which is kind of what a wedding should be, isn't it? Here's some photos from a Thanksgiving practice (shout out to fiance's awesome sister for coming to help us on a ho...
