Rest

Just wanted to take a moment to say 'hello' to the old blog here {+ those who read it!} . I really don't need to say it again, but this summer has been so busy for us and I feel completely wipped out. Therefore, the agenda this weekend {the first this summer without happenings or preparing for said happenings!} includes: quick chores + touching up paint on the walls through out our house, watching as much Bones as we can fit in, and most importantly rest for our tired bodies!

See you next week!

Weekend Highlights*: Ben & Kelly's wedding!

Last weekend, my college roommate/maid of honor/best friend {Kelly} married the man of her dreams {Ben} in her wedding field outside of Eugene. In one word, it was beautiful! Per usual, here are the highlights:

The morning of the wedding day was actually quite peaceful in my opinion.
How can you go wrong with coffee, bagels, & girl talk?

"The Bridesmaids" - our album cover when we decide to start a band :)

Kelly + a few of her favorite women!

Here comes the bride!

One of many touching moments throughout the ceremony.

So blessed to have this man by my side. He lend a helping hand before he was even asked on multiple occasions throughout the weekend to make this unforgettable for Ben & Kelly!

My first picture with the new Mrs. DiCristina!

I couldn't be happier for these newlyweds and as I said in my toast at the rehearsal dinner, "I've never seen Kelly as happy as she is with Ben" and I look forward to where life will take them as husband & wife!

*I know most of my recent posts have been 'weekend highlights', but lately that feels like how my life is measured so thanks for bearing with me until life gains a little more normalcy.

Weekend Highlights: Bachelorette Edition

This weekend was all about my best friend and throwing her a weekend to remember with some of her closest friends before she gets married on Saturday. Here are a few highlights captured during our time in Pacific City, Oregon:

We started the weekend off with a minor detour because we were having so much fun talking.

It was pretty clear early on that we wouldn't have a shortage of food for the weekend (part of dinner on Friday night).

Shameless plug: check out the sash I made for the bride! Simple & classy, just like Kelly!

Luckily, the weather was on our side and we were blessed with one of the nicest days I’ve ever had on the Oregon coast.

And of course we supplied the bride-to-be with plenty of gifts. Enough said :)

Although I can really only speak for myself, I have a feeling that everyone who attended this weekend had a great time & was honored to share in the memories of Kelly's last weekend as a single woman! A big thank you to all those who came to love on our beautiful bride!
