Spaniels’ California Adventure: You Can (Sort of) Go Home Again

Spaniels’ California Adventure: You Can (Sort of) Go Home Again

Before we knew it, it was Sunday morning and time to go home.

On the road again

It was back to the grind of 5:00 AM alarms and commutes across the sprawl of Los Angeles; back to homework, studying, finals, and not drinking all the fabulous wine we came home with. I wouldn’t exactly say I suffered from “post-wedding depression”… but man did reality hit hard after the honeymoon! Folks, if you can take an extra day or two readjusting your sleep clock before returning to real life, I highly recommend it! I did have a few amazing things to look forward to when I got back, though. Not only did I graduate law school just five short weeks (okay, five intensely long weeks) after we came back home from the honeymoon…

(Yes! I did graduate!)

…but I also knew I had the wedding recaps to look forward to! So while I wait for image files from our photographer and figure out how in the world I am going to write these recaps (why did no one tell me how hard they would be? Where do I even start?!), I have one more (huge, gigantic) thing keeping me entertained…

I was supposed to learn all of this during law school. I tell you, I did not.

So help a sister out! What do you find most helpful or interesting in wedding recaps?

Want to see where the adventure began?

Part I: Sonoma County

Part II: Central Coast

Congratulations on graduating from law school! You’ve had such an amazing (and chaotic, I’m sure) couple of months! Can’t wait for your recaps!

Yay, I can’t wait for your recaps! My favorite parts of the recaps are lots of detail pictures!

Congrats on graduating! I love stories to go along with the photos especially when you have a little internal narration going on.

Oh, I have a pile of those awful green books as well… (and I have two more finals to complete before I get to graduate). Congratulations! From what I hear, it’s entirely possible to make studying for the bar less stressful than law school, and I’m a full believer that state of mind is at least half the battle!

Congrats on graduating!!! What a wonderful accomplishment!
I’m with Cola, the details are my favorite part of recaps. And sweet, stolen moments between the bride and groom.

Congrats on graduating! I don’t know how you came back to law school after your honeymoon!
I like seeing the wedding from the beginning and seeing how the day unfolded. I agree with Cola too that the I like seeing all the details you blogged about and how they came together!

ps-I am dreading cracking open those barbri books.

I tell you what… I never (and I mean never) cracked any of the long-outline barbri books. worthless. You don’t have time for it. I pretty much just used my barbri class notes and short outline (and lets be honest… pretty much just my class notes). Good luck

Congrats again! My FI was a 2009 law school grad and took the Bar in NY (and just got sworn in last Wed). So I’ve been there as the supporter. I wish you luck, and try to keep your wits about you- Use the wedding recaps as a balancing, creative outlet. Don’t let them add to your stress. My guy got himself so freaked out by the bar that he insisted he wanted to go to med school to get out of it. Of course, he and all his friends did fine despite their fears, and I’m sure you will too =)

I just passed the Feb bar exam after my Dec graduation so my sympathy goes out to you as you do all your barbri. You will do great, just stay focused and do TONS of practice questions!
