Our wedding last weekend was beautiful. It couldn’t have been more perfect and was full of family and friends from all over the world, tasty food, heart-shaped map confetti, a delicious cake, plenty of laughter, a few tears and all around wonderful memories. Everyone has gone home now and we are left to plan our honeymoon which is very exciting as well. We had a few extra days off to relax. This weekend? Catching up on everything, honeymoon research and some me time. Happy 4th of July to all of the Americans out there!
Any exciting plans for you?
