Happy 2013 & Wedding Day Preview!

{{Happy New Year}}

Welcome 2013!

There is nothing sweeter than ringing in the new year with my husband! 2012 has been absolutely amazing for Brian and I. We finished 2012 on a high note. I cannot wait to see what 2013 brings us.

The icing on the cake is that we received our marriage certificate on New Year's Eve. What a way to end 2012 and begin 2013. Marriage certificate in hand. Love it!

For NYE, Brian and I popped a little bubbly and broke out our wedding flutes. I thought we wouldn't have a use for them until our anniversary seeing how we don't drink much champagne. 

It will be a couple of weeks before we have all of our wedding pictures but if you want to see a preview you can check out our photographer's blog post about our wedding here.

The pictures are truly amazing. They bring tears to my eyes. It is true what they say, the wedding really is a blur. The pictures bring clarity to all the memories. The pictures are SO special to us.

Here are some that friends have posted:

This picture brings tears to my eyes. This is such a special moment. I gave my Dad a handkerchief that said "Of all the walks we've taken, this one is my favorite." This picture sums that up!

{{Our First Kiss}}

This picture gives me chills.

I love this man with every fiber of my being. I am so lucky to spend the rest of my life with Brian.

{{The sign I free-hand painted. "He stole her heart so she stole his last name." It seemed very appropriate since we have a running joke that I married Brian to get rid of my last name. Bye-Bye Blueballs Blubaugh!}}
{{Also, you can see our personalized matchboxes & the top of our favors.}}

{{My Nova Girls!!!}}
It was so so SO special to have my best friends from my master's program at our wedding. I love these girls!

We are so excited to see the rest of the pictures. I am currently working on detailed posts about all of our wedding projects including our table numbers, card box, painted letters and numbers. Also, details like our vows, first dance, favors and the funniest MOH speech ever!

I will also be revealing the new name of the blog so...

Stay tuned!
