MP Bella Photography: December 2020

Seriously.....It's been way tooooooo LONG!!!

Since we last met up, you guessed it.....we got MARRIED!!
I swear life has been like a whirlwind since October and it just hasn't stopped since.
I'm not going to bore you with everything you missed from Sept until the wedding.
Let's just get to the good stuff!

October 19th all the way through to the end of October was by far my most memorable time EVER.
One of my brothers from Florida flew in for the wedding and I LEGIT have not laughed so much.
He definitely kicked off Wedding Week for us.

After my brother's arrival, the rest of the out of towners made their debut.

(ya know aunt, uncle, bestie)

These people were some of the most important life lines and VITAL to this grandiose event going off without a hitch.

Our wedding and rehearsal were WORK.

Absolutely STUNNING, absolutely PERFECT, but

WORK!

My brother's words 'I'm going back to Florida like I just did the Strong Man Competition'

No freaking KIDDING!

We were soooo lucky to have had our family and friends step in the way they did.

We are forever grateful and love all of you sooo much!

I'm just going to give you the Rehearsal Night recap on this post because it was the

start of a f**#%g FABULOUSLY fun weekend!

Obviously we started rehearsal at the venue.

(AZ Hops & Vines is where we got married)

We had some laughs, nailed our timing of walking and singing down.

(no, not me singing...are you peeps crazy?! One of our absolute favorite past students, turned family sang 2 songs for our ceremony)

She is AMAZING.

(follow her on social because girlfriend is definitely going places! I will link her deets at the end)

We didn't actually take any pics while we were "rehearsing",

however this little beauty was captured and still makes me LOL every. time. I. see. it.

Yes, that's my brother.

Yes, I adore him.

(He adored this pic as much as I did LOL)

After we perfected our walk, we headed next door for the most perfect rehearsal dinner under the stars, at the Meading Room.

That place is breathtaking. The property is perfection, the vibe is chill AF.

Our whole weekend was pretty "unique".

The one stand out really "unique" part was we concocted our own wine blend at our rehearsal dinner to be used for our wine blending ceremony the next day.

I'm still in awe.

It was seriously so special and so different.

Hops and Vines outdid themselves.

They met us over at the rehearsal dinner location.

Gave us all the "smarts" on each wine, all of our guests got to sample each one, and all the while we were sipping and mingling with each other, we were creating our special WINE!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

After the blending of our wine it was time to get down to business and fill our bellies!

We did a Taco Truck!

That ish was freaking BOMB!!!

Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. So so good!!

Get in my BELLY....I can eat this ALL again, right now!

Such an absolutely beautiful evening. El fresco eating is my JAM!

Once dinner was FINITO, it was drinking, fire side sitting, and of course CORN HOLE in heels and dresses because seriously, did you EXPECT anything less from me!!!???

My son blew us away with his speech.

If anyone had any doubts about our relationship, all you need to do is listen to both of my kid's speeches to really grasp that we are the REAL DEAL.

But ya know, everyone has their opinion. ;)

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect night with those closest to us, to start Wedding Weekend off.

To quote one of my new brother in laws...."we are fucking BLESSED"!!! LOL

Here is the pic summary of the lovelies who helped make that night one of the best.

And there ya go....a beautiful night was had by all.

I highly recommend stepping out of the box for your rehearsal and wedding. It's LEGIT soooo much better when you don't give in to other people's opinions and NORMS.

I'll be back soon with the BIG Day post!

In the mean time I hope you all are staying healthy and safe and trying your best

to make some holiday memories this month in the new normal.

Have an AH-MAZING day!!!
