Weekends are for the Warriors, Wedding Edition!

On Labor Day, AKA the day of all days for people to be born and to be married, I had the privilege of attending and being a part of one of my great friends from high school's wedding and had the best (and warm!) time! It was a great venue, great friends and family, and it was nice to see 2 people who seem like they would be totally different (think dark, tattooed, and pierced vs. tall and fair) from the outside come together so perfectly on a night such as this. 

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I had hoped, partly because I have an iPhone and that only gets you so far, but I was also glad to have some sort of 'purpose' and helping Southern Charm DFW AKA Wonder Woman Devon make sure everything was set up and going smoothly throughout. Everything tasted yummy, the drinks down smooth, and the DJ definitely kept the party going. My favorite part perhaps was probably right at the end of the ceremony when Jason and Shohreh were walking back down the aisle and went up to do their little thumb prints on the guest tree and the sun was going down perfectly behind the trees and casting this warm golden glow on them. I snuck a quick snap even though no cell phones were allowed (hehe). That or when the bride and her father busted out traditional Persian dancing during their father/daughter dance. Or when the cake lady arrived. Maybe I just loved it all?! Can you get married again? ;) 

Jason and Shohreh-You guys are perfect for each other and I loved seeing your big day come together as it did. I wish you both nothing but the best and excited that you now get to enjoy married life as we all are! When did we all get old enough to get married?! The long hours of driving and cutting paper flowers and setting silverware out all day were worth the sweat! Happy 6th day of marriage you guys-Cheers to the next 6+!!

I now present a timeline:

Got a little glimpse of the life of a wedding coordinator..eek! Yes, that is a platter of Jimmy Johns sandwiches in my lap, which I thoroughly enjoyed multiple times during night ;)

Welcome! 


Props to someone else who also cheated during the "no cell phone" ceremony, and to Mama Davoodi for posting this beautiful moment! 



What my awesome (can you just tell the awesome quality?!) cell phone allowed me to capture. BUT-golden glow everywhere!
The aftermath of our diligent work.


The Birthday Boy wanted to pose with the greeter..no biggie. 
Dovs...Southern Charm DFW. 'Nuff said.

Weddings? I love weddings, drinks all around!

 
Getting the party started!

I mean, look at their faces! <3

*Insert other totally awesome picture of the dessert table that was assembled and then demolished probably within a span of 8 minutes*
*Insert picture of totally awesome bubble exit*

And then, it was back to Dallas. The land of the traffic. And home of the construction.

Alright friends, now who's getting married next? I want more cake ;) and love, and laughter, and heck-why not a happily every after to top it all off!

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...

Fiesta! Fiesta! Fiesta!

Viva Fiesta! Viva San Antonio! Viva la Alamo! This past weekend we spent a (short) day squeezing in all of our normal Fiesta activities since Robert and I thought last minute that it would just be too weird if we had missed out on our annual Fiesta trip that we've gone on the past 5 years. So we road tripped it out on Friday afternoon (BIG mistake) and finally made the 4 hour journey in about 6 hours-thank you Dallas traffic and thank you 18-wheeler for hanging off the bridge in Hillsboro; I just love being stuck in your traffic for an hour and a half while we watched a thunderstorm rapidly approach going 0mph on the highway. Goodness gracious. But we made it! And Jessica was there, amongst her peeps for the first time ;)  Saturday started out pretty slow. I had all of these expectations for Jessica to see and we get to the Market Square and it's pretty empty. THEN we tried to hit up our annual photo booth spot and they were closed. So we went on a walk and ended up down b...
