Phew WHAT A WEEKEND/WEEK. Y’all, when people say that your wedding weekend flies by…they’re not lying. I felt like we blinked and it was over. Despite the rescheduling and everything else that came with COVID, it was perfect. I’m so glad we stayed an extra night and came home on Monday because we were so exhausted on Sunday. Annie and Andrew (a bridesmaid and groomsman) left literally the next morning from their wedding at like 6am and I’m pretty sure I was dead to the world at that time. So…much respect for that hahah!!

This week I slept until 7, started intermittent fasting again and let me mind and body recover. I felt the urge to get right back into going hard on the workouts but I didn’t realize how mentally tired I was. Worrying about everything but pretending not to be worried…it was way more taxing than I realized!

Our rehearsal dinner was at Mattie’s Austin and oh my gosh the food was SO SO SO good. The next time we are in Austin, we are going back. I didn’t get many pictures from that night but once I get them back from the photographer, I will share.

For the wedding day I had the most talented girls ever for hair and makeup!! I went through Lola Beauty and worked with Sophia, Allison and Paige. Everyone looked so beautiful and I cannot recommend these girls enough if you need hair and makeup in Austin. Follow them @sophiabeautyatx and @allison_haley_hair – seriously go check them out. My sister brought the biggest balloons, cookies and decor for the room. It was so sweet and the perfect amount of festive for us while we got dressed.

I only have a few pictures right before the ceremony so I’m just going to share them all. I swear from this moment the night lasted 10 seconds. It was perfect with 86 guests and a great band. I felt like we celebrated with our closest friends and family. I know there is a lot of pressure to invite people that you might not speak to anymore but don’t feel bad, invite the people that will want to be there and they will come! It seriously was like a really cool party with all my favorite people. We are so thankful to everyone who came to celebrate with us under the circumstances. The Four Seasons Austin did an amazing job from start to finish. Our other vendors were amazing as well. Mauricette, Lexie and Stacey…I couldn’t have asked for a better team. They listened to me cry and always made sure we felt comfortable throughout the process. They also helped me laugh and appreciate the big picture and not focus on the details that truly don’t matter. Because of them, the details were perfect and I cannot be more thankful.

We closed down the hotel bar with patron and tons of food. So of course I needed the week off hah! I can’t wait to share more once we get our official pics in. 🤍
