Jeremy and Maggi’s wedding


Maggi and Jeremy are married! After months of counting down to the wedding, the day has come and gone, leaving me with all kinds of emotions. I’m blaming pregnancy–being all kinds of excited for them but also feeling the sadness of the day being over. The good news is that the baby stayed put during the wedding. Now we’ll have to convince him that it’s safe to come out.
 
I can’t wait to see the pictures that their photographer got–I know they are going to be amazing! But here are a few that I snapped on my phone throughout the day.
Our dresses were all kinds of fun with the mixed floral patterns!

One of Maggi’s obsessions is sprinkles–therefore, a sprinkle send off 🙂

Isn’t she a gorgeous bride??

Best friends for 22 years. It’s been a tradition to take BFF pictures together over the years. It is so special that now we can include our husbands in the tradition!

This photo booth was a special way to remember Maggi’s Grammy who passed in 2013. And it was super cute! #jeremagz

I’m so excited for the new Mr. and Mrs. Griesse as they start their new lives together. And thankful that they took the big risk of putting me in their wedding–4 days before my due date!! I can’t wait to see what the Lord has planned for them!

gold!


It’s been over two weeks since I last posted anything here. December just always seems so busy. After adding in the shorter daylight hours (which becomes depressing) and 1st trimester exhaustion, I have pretty much been avoiding it. I have also had an ongoing headache for almost two weeks now. Tylenol does not do a thing–but I keep taking it to feel like I’m doing something. I’ve also been using peppermint oil with no success. I think essential oils only work for people who are not skeptical. So if anyone has any advice or a great (low priced) chiropractor to recommend, let me know!

Anyway, on to more fun stuff! For many months, a few of us girls have talked about getting together to play around with some studio lighting in our friend Rachel’s basement. She picked up some gold sequin fabric a couple of weeks ago so we finally got a chance to snap a few pictures. All four of us took turns taking pictures on the same memory card so I can’t be sure who took which picture.
