I’m BAAACK! And I have an extra little ring on my left ring finger! That can only mean one thing of course… WE GOT HITCHED!! It’s funny—after all the planning, all the projects, all the time that is spent leading up to the wedding, you still never really know what it is going to be like. I had no clue what it was going to FEEL like until it was happening, or what it was going to look like until I got to see it all. And I have to say, after all of the obsessing I did about how everything would turn out it was nothing like I expected… it was way, way BETTER!

Sure I still had a meltdown here and there, like when everyone took off to the rehearsal and I was left at the hotel alone with no valet ticket, and the ever important flowers weren’t what I really wanted. But a kind valet man took pity on a crying bride and hunted my car down, and even though the flowers were wrong, I have to admit they were still gorgeous and I was really the only one who knew. But those little things were worth it for the good stuff, and there was lots and lots of good stuff. Endless surprises from my groom, tear-filled dances with Daddy Cloud, seeing Mama Cloud with the biggest smile on her face looking more stunning than I have ever seen… and then there was the love. The love from all of our friends and family who I feel like finally got to enter the wedding bubble I had been living in for so long. And the love between my now husband and I that caused us both to have tears in our eyes most of the day. I have never seen and felt so much love in my whole life and I know I will carry that with me for a long time.

The problem is, everything was too perfect and by the time we were on day two of our honeymoon I was starting to feel a little bit of PWD. Mrs. Lab and I hit the wall at about the same time, but ironically for very different reasons.

Here I had just had the greatest day of my entire life where everything was so close to perfect and was spending the week on a beach with my amazing husband, but I couldn’t help but feel a little lost, and worried. How could we ever top such a great day, and by god, what would I do with all the spare time I would have now that I had no wedding crafts!!?? It gets a little better every day though, getting texts from the Mr. that say, “I have a wedding ring on, that’s so cool!” during both of our first days back at work today doesn’t hurt either. And then last night I got just the news I needed: my fabulous MOH is engaged!! Lucky for me, she is just as in love with weddings as I am, so we get to dive right into inspiration and details!

For now I will leave you with a little teaser that I received from our amazingly talented photographer Jessica Salay of Oriole Photography. I have much much more to share while I wait for the rest of our pictures, so sit tight, because I have a lot of time to fill with blogging instead of crafting!
