5 Reasons Why A Smaller Wedding Is A Good Idea(Plus we've reached 2 months!!)

Sooo....we have reached 2 months!!!!

Which means..83 days...11 weeks...

Holy cow...is pretty much what goes through my mind. Time has been flying by for sure. And quite frankly I can't contain just how excited I am. 

Lately we haven't really been doing to much wedding stuff. I know that's all about to change since there's A LOT to do. 

We sent out our invites..okay don't judge me on this but I can't remember the month but I know we should have gotten them all back since our deadline was September 30th...so for those of you who haven't PLEASE let me know...I know who you are anyways and I will be coming after you ;) Seriously though. I will. 

We kept our guest list really small. We decided that we wanted mainly family and close friends. We actually had to cut it down a few times, nothing personal it's just what we wanted. We both have big families and it is important that our family have priority over anyone else, then if we had extra we could add in close friends. I have been told so many times that you'll never regret having a smaller wedding, but some will regret having a big one. So we decided to go small. Here are a few reasons why having a smaller wedding is better: 

1. Since you'll have fewer guest to greet and talk to, you can really spend time with each other and enjoy the day. 

2. More intimate setting, you'll spend your special day with the ones closest to you.

3. Save money, this is a big one. A big way to save money but still be able to have an elegant affair is to cut down your guest list. 

4. You are more likely to remember everyone at your wedding and be able to talk to them. 

5. People are more likely to remember your wedding. If you have a traditional large wedding that has 150+ guests most people aren't going to remember certain details and since it's like most weddings they've been to. It'll be a routine. When you have a smaller wedding, you can focus on more details and make your wedding unique since you don't have to plan for a large amount of people. 

I'm not saying big weddings are bad or even bashing them. I understand that some people just have really big families that requires a big wedding, and that's defiantly okay! If you have always dreamed of a big wedding, then go for it. It's your day and you decide how you want it. But smaller weddings tend to not get as good rep and people think you only go small because you can't afford a big wedding. That's not always the case.  I feel that if you are happy, and you married the love of your life, that's all that matters at the end of the day. 

Cheers! 

Nature's Path Pumpkin Spice Waffle Review

Well hello October!! I can't believe that it's fall. I really do love fall, but not thrilled about colder weather. However I enjoy all the flavors and comfort of Fall. So I guess that makes up for it. I do go crazy over pumpkin things. I'll admit, but hey it's fun and I enjoy the colder temps when I can have everything pumpkin. I even created a board on Pinterest, labeled Everything Pumpkin. I'm very dedicated. 

Pumpkin flavor is EVERYWHERE. I seriously think every brand out there has their own pumpkin something. I do get pretty bummed when I can't try most pumpkin things because they aren't gluten free. But I stumbled upon these gems the other day...and I couldn't pass them up.

Soo I have to be honest. I didn't think highly of these before I tried them because some natural pumpkin stuff just tastes weird or doesn't have enough spice to it. I have to have the spice, the more spicy the better! I've had Nature's Path products before and I haven't been disappointed yet. But I wasn't getting my hopes up. 

I had them for breakfast this morning, and OH MY GOSH....it's seriously the best pumpkin spice waffles I've ever had from a box. They make you feel all warm and cozy and defiantly gives me a sense of fall. 

Even if you don't have to eat gluten free...you need to try these! Everyone needs to try these!! They are actually healthy and much better than any other regular frozen waffle out there.

Cheers! 

I'm Officially a Lover of Rose Gold!

I've been waiting weeks to write this post. Remember when I said I can't keep a secret? Yeah I've been holding in this beauty.....

  

So my old ring, Caleb had it a YEAR before we got engaged. We have been engaged for 2.5 years...so my ring wasn't exactly new when it came time to find a wedding band to fit. We shopped a few months ago for our bands. Caleb found his, but I couldn't find one that I felt like fit my ring. So we went back, and they literally went through almost every wedding band they had. Nothing worked...

I was beyond stressed and tired of trying things that might work. And also I was so upset because I felt like I would never find anything. 

So they asked us if we ever thought about upgrading and getting a ring with a wedding band. Uh yeah I thought about that, but for like our 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary. 

I told Caleb that, that would be HIS choice and so obviously he decided that we could upgrade it now. I started trying other rings, rings were obviously pretty but nothing stood out....until Caleb spotted this one. It was brand new, literally they just got it in that week. I've always been a white gold lover, and a three stone setting so this was something I never considered. I have seen Rose Gold rings and thought they were pretty but didn't think I could pull it off, But I tried it because he picked it. 

I was in love...

I mean come on, it's literally pink gold!!!!

And the look in his eyes when I put it on, I knew it was the one...well second one. 

Am I little sad that I had to give up my first ring? Yes. I actually teared up when they took it away (I'm just a tad emotional) But something that I'll take away from this experience was that things will always work out. Seriously, we have had so many blessings happen all these months leading up to the wedding. That I just get so emotional thinking about it. 

Here's a closer picture of it. You can kind of tell it's rose gold in this picture better. This was as soon as we went to pick it up!
