Wedding Time

Planning a wedding was a challenge for me. I am not a big party planner to begin with. We decided to go to our friends and family instead of making them all come to us. We planned to have our wedding in Florida and a mini wedding in Tucson a few days later. We went with a low key small event in both locations and were very pleased with the outcome. 

Florida Wedding- December 21st

I had my hair done by a local salon and had my friends do my makeup

With my Mom! We actually got married on the same property she was married on just a few years ago! Like mother, like daughter.

The property is owned by a friend of hers. I think they are looking into making it into an actual wedding venue in the near future. Her daughter catered our wedding and owns a local company called Sweets' Bakehouse. They are such a wonderful family and I would recommend them to anyone.

Shane and his best buddy, Tom. He came out from Arizona to perform our ceremony in Florida.

Arizona Wedding

We decided to have our little Arizona wedding/reception at the same church when his mother and father renewed their vows. We thought it made for a good location. 

My friend Jimmie took a few photos for us. I am not going to overload but here are a few of her works of art! She is very talented. If you need a photographer in Tucson check out 3 of 3 Photography.

Rings and things

Shane's mom actually planned and put together the whole Tucson event. She catered and decorated everything. She even ordered some cute custom chocolates to put out. 

My heart in Tucson

Our Tucson Family.

We could not have made our traveling wedding adventure possible without all of the help we received from friends and family. We felt so blessed to have so many hands on board to make this adventure a reality. Now we are on to our next great adventure... Life as a married couple. We closed on a town home a few weeks ago and are excited to announce we are expecting an addition to our family this Fall. 

That should catch us up to present day!
