Wedding Wednesday | Livestream

Hey love bugs! I was super close to not posting anything for tonight, but fret not I have something albeit small.

I was appreciative that our videographer hired someone extra to do a livestream of our wedding and reception for our family members who were unable to attend or in another country. It was worth the extra money because not only did our loved ones get to watch the whole ceremony, we have 30 days to go back and watch the videos again. I thought it would be fun to share the link with you guys if you wanted to go and watch the livestream video.

Still waiting on those pictures to get in, so until then, you can watch the video to hold you over :)!

Now it’s your turn to link-up and share your wedding tales. 

Macy and I love reading all about your big day, someone else’s wedding adventures, or anything else wedding related. We just can’t wait to read all about it!

Currently...

Hello loves! Sorry I'm still sparse around these parts. I have literally been on the go the last 2 weeks! By the time I actually get a chance to sit down and blog, I just don't! A lot has happened in the last 2 weeks since becoming a Mrs. so I figured why not do a currently post and get y'all caught up!

Currently:

watching...

Shahs of Sunset season finale! This season was so good and I can't wait for the reunion episode...so.much.drama!!



listening to...


I've been loving this song lately, such a chill song with a great beat!


eating...


Sushi date nights! Glad my husband (still SO weird to call him that) and I love sushi enough to eat it somewhat regularly!


lusting over...


I may have dropped the big hint on what I want for my birthday gift this year! I may buy it for myself as a birthday/congratulatory gift since......


excited for...

MY NEW JOB!!!
I'm so so excited to say that I landed my dream job here in Houston and it's super close to home which is a huge plus since I'm still learning my way around the city! I'll be working at the RediClinic inside of the H.E.B. grocery store and I cannot wait! I start the day after we come back from Mexico!


I'm also SUPER excited for our honeymoon in just 2 short weeks!!! Relaxing on the beach with my husband is just what I'll need before starting a new job and all the stress of the past year planning for the wedding and big move!


loving/missing...


This cute little furball Nico, can't wait to meet him in September! Also missing my parents and sister! Luckily they aren't sick of me calling on the reg, it's so tough being away from my family, but I'm glad that my parents are coming to spend a week with us this Saturday!! 

proud of...

Myself! I successfully completed writing, addressing and almost finished mailing out all of our thank you cards! My goal was to get them out before we left for Mexico, but being stuck at home most days with not much to do has meant I finished all of it sooner than expected :)! 

Y'all thank you cards are such a daunting task! I was sick of writing after about 50 of them and at the end I just wanted it to be over!


waiting for...

Our wedding photographer to send our pictures! I should have them this week, which means I'll probably skip out on tomorrow's Wedding Wednesday post because I have squat to actually post about! I promise I will get to recaps soon enough :)!


***************************************

So that's all I have for you guys for today! Again hope to get on some sort of regular blogging, until then my love bugs!

Wedding Wednesday | The One After The Wedding

Well hello there lovies!! I cannot believe I'm finally a married woman now and living in Houston officially!! It's seriously been such a whirlwind, but I'm loving the new role and adventure! Going from a long distance relationship to a full time/seeing each other daily marriage has been pretty seamless.

I've been getting acquainted with my new city and applying to jobs. Although I do like the whole stay at home wife role I'm in right now, not gonna lie! 

I want to try to get back into a normal blogging routine again, but it's been seriously so hard. I feel like I've missed so much in blogworld right now and I am hoping to at least catch up on some of my favorite blogs to see what everyone has been up to! 

I wanted to share the few pictures I have on my phone from the wedding, I'll share more as I get them from the photographer!! 

Legally & officially married!!
Got a snuggle sesh with my bestie!

Bridal henna done!

With my momma bear! 

With my bestie...and our awesome snapchat filter for day 1!

Almost Mr. & Mrs. Patel!!


Being walked down the aisle by my cousin brothers!

Officially married in front of our family and friends!

Sitting not to patiently for family pictures to start...we were slightly hangry too!

My work bestie & I!

Candid moment behind the scenes

Selfie with my husband :0!!
Shirt | The Daily Tay

The hardest part of the weekend ending was saying goodbye to all my friends and family...and as if we didn't eat enough cake, there was more :)! 


My amazing sissy bought me my dream purse as a wedding/birthday gift! I miss her constantly, but everytime I wear my bag I think of her!!!


Of course we had to take some goofy "married" people selfies while waiting for our flight to take off!


Obligatory ring picture, because...duh!

And in other exciting news........

My sister got a puppy brother!!! His name is Nico and I cannot wait to finally meet the little cutie in September!!!

***********************************

If you made it to the bottom of this, I commend you! That was picture heavy and I can't wait to share more pictures along the way. I've missed blogging and like I said I hope I can get back to it soon on a regular basis!


Now it’s your turn to link-up and share your wedding tales. 

Macy and I love reading all about your big day, someone else’s wedding adventures, or anything else wedding related. We just can’t wait to read all about it!

Wedding Wednesday | It's Wedding Week!!!

Popping in quickly today to say it's finally wedding week!!! I cannot believe all the months and months of planning has come to a halt.

Family has already started trickling in and it's starting to totally feel real. Sorry I've been super absent in the blogging world, but can't wait to be back in blogland after becoming a Mrs.

Now it’s your turn to link-up and share your wedding tales.

Wedding Wednesday | Overwhelmed Much?!

Happy Wedding Wednesday guys! I have been super failing at the blogging game and I guess I have good reason. I've literally looked at my computer a handful of times in the past week and that was to type up a wedding document or spreadsheet.

We are literally 10 days away from the big day and there is just so much to do. As much as I have prepared the past year and a half, nothing prepares you for the last minute craziness that is wedding planning. I've been constantly in talks with my vendors finalizing things, sending checks, working on timing, etc. Although it's exciting to see how everything is coming together, it's definitely stressful and overwhelming. 

I'm sad to say that blogging is going to be put on the back burner for the next few weeks until after the wedding and after I'll officially be in Texas. If I get a chance here and there I'll definitely try to put a quick post up, but no guarantees! 

I'll still have the Wedding Wednesday link up on the Wednesdays so all of you can still link up with Macy and I!

Five on Friday | Fourth of July Edition

Happy Friday friends! I cannot believe it's been an entire week since I left my job, I miss it so much, but I've been enjoying lounging around in my sweats not doing a whole lot. I have had a lot of wedding related meetings this week so that's kept me quite busy! I can't believe it's already July!! The countdown is on and we're exactly 15 days away from the wedding!!!!!


one.

I've been jamming out to this song lately and the video is just too fun, this beat just makes you want to dance!

two.

Literally give me all the mexican food, I was craving my favorite spot so my sister and I had one last date night there. I'm most definitely gonna miss this place when I move!

three.

My sister and I finally went to watch Me Before You and it has all the heart eyed emojis! Such a great movie and it stayed true to the book. Of course some of the stuff was left out, but if they put everything in the movie it would have been 3 hours long!

four.

I got this congratulatory letter in the mail yesterday and it made me so happy! My parents were probably more fascinated by it than I was!! So pretty and I can't wait to get a pretty frame for it :)!

five.

I can't believe it's already 4th of July weekend!! I don't have crazy big plans, more like get a bunch of crap for the wedding done! Spending time with family and friends is definitely on the agenda and definitely watching fireworks at some point has to happen. My cousins and I are trying to hit up the fest early tomorrow to get some bingo in!


*********************

I hope all of you have a wonderful, safe and memorable 4th of July weekend!!

Linking up with Amanda!

Blogger Men Tell All | June Edition

So back around March or April, I spilled the beans to A about my secret....I had a blog! A's response wasn't as strange as I thought he was gonna be with this news, I got myself a winner. I had fun asking him some fun questions and letting you guys get to know the man behind the blog better and I definitely wanted to get a chance to join in on the Blogger Men Tell All link up! If you want to join in on the fun, don't worry the link up will be up for an entire month!!!

He may hurt me if he knows I ever posted this picture...whoops!
(As you can tell he has a sweet tooth just like me, so that's good :)!)


-What is your favorite summer treat?
Coconut ice cream, hands down every time!

-If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go and why?
Italy, there is so much to see and do there, plus all the rich history and the food!!

-Do you have a favorite song that says "summer" to you? What is it?
I don't know if this says "summer" but I love my man Enrique Iglesias and the english version of Bailando.


He's obsessed with any song with Enrique, so this one was an obvious answer for me!

-What summer project are you hoping to accomplish before fall?
Getting the TV in our future room mounted so Nikki can watch all her girly TV shows.
He's a good man and knows the way to my heart is through the TV :)!

*********************************

This was so much fun and I hope you guys got to know A a little more through this!
