When I left you in part one, guests were filing out from the cathedral, while my bridesmaids attempted to bustle my dress. Outside the church awaited drummers and dancers in white, part of the traditional wedding recessional in Cartagena. I love curating joy. I had been so excited about the surprises of the weekend, such [...]
Our wedding day began before anyone else was awake but the birds. Jeremy padded up to our private rooftop with coffee to finish his vows. I welcomed in a hair stylist who couldn’t speak English, then creatively called the front desk for a bellhop to please translate while we smiled politely at one another in [...]
My dream is all my favorite people in one place for a few days. Those were the most memorable weddings I had attended. Ones where you left with sweet memories whether inner-tubing down the Vermont River, a turkey shoot on Thanksgiving Day in Alabama, or seven friends in an AirBnB in Spain. On Thursday when [...]
Darling, if you have never been properly introduced to Cartagena, Colombia let me tell you about the city we got married in that we had never visited! First, while we never intended to post this, I’m sharing the home-VHS-tape-esq video we texted to our friends and family to invite them to save the date for [...]

Just four days after we surprised six friends with where in the world we're flying to, and that it wasn't for a bachelor trip but an elopement. Followed by a delightful [...]
After revealing to our friends that we were headed to the South of France, surprising them that we are eloping and picking up the bridesmaids dresses, we were headed for JFK! I was a little concerned about getting my quite large Kleinfeld’s dress bag onto the plane in the garment closet vs the overhead bin, so [...]
We FaceTimed six friends and told them, “We have this crazy too-good-to-be-true thing. A brand reached out to partner together, and what we came up with is we each get to bring three friends on an all expenses paid Bachelor/Bachelorette trip. The hook I pitched them is that you guys don’t know where we’re going. So [...]
I believe there are three ways to travel: have, do or be. Each wonderful in it’s own way, yet with a different perspective on exploring a new city. HAVE: Your greatest joy comes from having a magnificent meal, top cocktails in town, going shopping for some unique memorable pieces. You want recommendations from trusted friends [...]
