Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Due to the traditional/non-traditional mix of our wedding, having a rehearsal was definitely necessary. More importantly we needed to make sure everyone was fed directly after. We wanted to include all our out-of-town guests, as well as all the kiddies who were not going to be at our adult-only wedding.

But what could we feed everyone for a reasonable price and keep it casual and mellow before our epic day?

Korean Tacos! That's what we could serve!

The boys at Koi Fusion Korean Taco Truck couldn't have been nicer to work with. It was a toss up between the bulgogi and short rib tacos for the top winners.

Our family and friends made it ridiculously easy to host the rehearsal dinner in our backyard by bringing a side dish or dip to share.

After filling our bellies with Korean tacos it was time for some light celebrating, nothing too crazy our wedding was the next day!

The few days leading up to our wedding were our favorites because we were able to relax with our family and friends, not stress too much and enjoy the summer nights.

We did run out beer and tried multiple times to make it to the liquor store without any luck, but it did help us find alternatives for our gluten free friends.

The summer night was perfect, the tacos were uniquely delicious and the memories of a perfect rehearsal dinner will be held forever.

A huge thank you to all our family and friends. We are so lucky to have you all in our lives and there to help us celebrate. Below is a time lapse we captured of our beautiful rehearsal dinner and guests.

Wedding Hiatus

Wow!

It's been so long since we last stopped by our beloved bloggie!

Apologies.

Spring turned into summer.

We were busy planning 3 big summer parties.

One of those parties was our Wedding!

To those who are planning a wedding - sympathies, it's a lot more work than you'll ever imagine.

It was for us at least.

The effort was worth it.

As evidenced in the time lapse we captured of our big day.

More to come.

Soon.

We promise.

Wanderlusting

We're way ahead of our wedding planning. Everything seems to happen at the 2-3 month mark and the most stressful decisions of where to have the ceremony and reception, type of ceremony, clothes, bridal and groom party, and catering have already come into place so we're looking good for now. We're lucky enough to have time to focus more on the details like the invites and the HONEYMOON!

We have tons of ideas of where we want to travel, but where do we want to go for our Honeymoon? Independent Travel website Tripbase recently posted the top 10 things to consider when deciding on your honeymoon, which got us to thinking. What do we want to do on our honeymoon? Relax? Adventure? Romance? City? Beach? Eat? Play? Sun? Sand? So much to consider and the options for travel are endless! Should we pick someplace on our list of must-sees (Hong Kong, Brazil, South Africa) or our list of must-return tos (Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia) or some place we've never even considered (Maldives, Seychelles, Galapagos). Maybe all?

Until then we keep finding travel videos that inspire and get us thinking about what would be our ideal honeymoon. Iceland has always appealed to the technology freaks in us, as well as it being the home of Bjork, the blue lagoon and hip-as-hell Raykjavik. This video by Inspired by Iceland has given us serious case of the Wanderlust!
