The Monday after our wedding we took off on our honeymoon, and after 3 planes and 1 boat, we arrived at Bora Bora. It was everything we could have imagined, and a thousand times more.

For 8 days we relaxed, played tennis, swam, snorkeled, ate and drank. It was heaven. The perfect way to decompress together.

I never wanted to leave. Ever. Spencer claims I had tears in my eyes as we left for the airport. I think he’s exaggerating (but not really).

And there you have it. The end of my wedding related recaps. I hope I didn’t bore the hell out of you all. It was such an amazing time in my life and I had so much fun sharing all of these peeks with you.

Back to normal sparkly posting!

Our reception was magical. Being an interior designer, the opportunity of a tent, the options and possibilities were so exciting. It was a blank canvas; and although I knew my wedding planner was amazing, I had no idea it could have turned out this perfect.

Our first dance was to “Wrapped” by George Strait. We have both always loved country music and although our band had to learn it specially for us, I am so glad we went out of the box and chose a song that meant something to us (secret: we spent a couple too many nights dancing our kitchen making sure it was the perfect song)

Three of my very oldest friends (since we were in preschool). By far, one of the most special parts of the night was having everyone we loved all in one place.

Three of my bridesmaids (a cousin and two sisters). And a big giant happy birthday to my Brennie on the left. xo

The flowers were all white groupings of different kinds. They were perfect. Soft and romantic. Exactly as I imagined and blogged about so many times.

I need to preface this one. Months before my wedding my dad announced he had a surprise. He wasn’t going to tell me what it was, but I would find out at our wedding reception. I hate surprises. Hate. I wasn’t pleased. But let me tell you… at the end of my dad’s beautiful toast he picked up a guitar and sang “I Will” by The Beatles. My dad doesn’t sing or play the guitar but he had been taking lessons for both for the past year to surprise us. It was one of the emotional, sweet, amazing moments of the entire weekend. The entire room was sobbing. Including me. Serious, ugly crying.

We have the most amazing friends and family anyone could ever ask for. I am sure things went wrong (although I never knew about them) but I can 100% say I wouldn’t change a single thing. The room was filled with so much love and every last detail represented Spencer and I. It was perfect.
