After traveling to New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Costa Rica over the past few weeks, my sense of season is a bit off. I can hardly believe we already have snow on the ground, and I already miss my nightly walks with Jeff through the neighborhoods by our place (though I suppose we now have the option of picking up a sled and heading to the hill behind our place).

Props to the fashionable Kat Cooper for hanging out with me on Michigan State’s beautiful campus in early November to capture the height of amazing colors.

 

I married my perfect match at the Occidental Grand Xcaret in the Riviera Maya, Mexico.

My friend and bridesmaid, Susan (of toilet paper wedding dress fame), made my wedding dress. She incorporated pieces from my mother’s wedding dress into the shoulder strap.

The bridesmaids dresses were from ASOS (love that shop).

While we were getting ready, our friends were enjoying a day by the water.

We did a first look and read private vows before the ceremony. It was one of my favorite moments of the day.

And who am I to deprive you of photos of our amazing dancing?

Thanks to Stephanie Reeder for joining in on the fun and photographing our week in Mexico.
