It’s official. We set a date! … and we’re clearly not in any rush. With myself finishing up school and Rob living in Spain, we opted to enjoy a long engagement and not jump into the chaos of wedding planning full force just yet. I’m sure things will really start coming together more when my [...]

Some scenes from the Carolina Inn Bridal Showcase here in Chapel Hill yesterday. My friend Aly emailed me last week to see if I’d like to join her and I, of course, couldn’t pass it up.

Happy Friday! I have a special post for you today. During our engagement hike, Rob and I recorded a few snippets of video to document the exciting moment so we could share it with family and friends.  Little did we think that the few clips we shot would end up in a wonderful video montage [...]
