Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…
I’m not sure if we actually made it right on time like I promised myself we would, but regardless, we were finally at the Church and ready to roll.
I was ushered downstairs to see my dad and to put on my veil. My dad and I have such a close relationship, and while I’m not your typical Daddy’s girl, we have a bond that has…

With the dress on, flowers in hand, and friends and family surrounding me it was finally time to get to the church! This part completely flew by, and I wish I remembered it better. My mom and I walked to the elevator and I couldn’t help but think that just a half hour earlier, Champ had walked right past the room where we were getting…

While the guys took portraits in the parking lot, we were hustling to be on time. Champ always teases me about the fact that I am always, without a question, 15 minutes late to everything. We even joked about changing the ceremony time so I wouldn’t be late, but I was determined to show him I could be on time for once. My mom grabbed…

Ever wonder what goes through the mind of the groom the morning of the wedding? I do, and I’m so glad Champ’s friends captured his morning the day of our wedding. While I was running around with my maid of honor, jump starting her car again and again, Champ took a casual stroll through Vail Village.

Whew, it’s been a while, hive! My apologies for the delay in recaps, but I’ve been a little out of commission lately. You see, I haven’t really been able to type pain-free. A while back, I tripped on a computer cord at work and ended up with this:

The morning of our wedding was so relaxing, I completely lost track of time. By the time I had finished showering and drying my hair, our photographer was waiting downstairs while the bridesmaids got ready. I heard a knock on our door, followed by a few squeals from the girls - Champ’s gift for me had arrived! I quickly grabbed my gift and card for…

After our night of fun singing around the piano with family and friends, Champ and I separated and my maid of honor and I stayed in the hotel room where we would get ready the day of the wedding. Champ and I actually live in the DC area, so our trip to Vail was great because I also got to visit my maid of honor…

Hi hive! My apologies for the delay in recaps—life happened and time passed so quickly! I’ll get right back into it where I left off: our rehearsal dinner. Now I know it’s summer and the middle of July, but just picture the mountains of Colorado and a light snowfall. Got it? Okay, now picture the trees lit up with Christmas lights and warm winter jackets.…

Okay now, where did I leave off… ah yes, Champ and I accidentally went to the county jail to apply for our marriage license. Oops! We were actually supposed to meet with our officiant the same afternoon, but because we took that small detour to the jailhouse, we sort of ran out of time. We only had two days before we would be married, and…

No, he wasn’t the best man, or even a guest at our wedding. But we do have something in common. We’ve both spent a little time at the Eagle County Jail!

Hi Hive!! Oh how I’ve missed you! We’re back from Mexico and happily married! The adjustment from the snowy mountains of Colorado to the hot beaches in the Riviera Maya was intense, but we’re loving EVERY MINUTE of the married life. We actually decided early on that when we returned from our honeymoon we would take a few days off before going back to work,…
