Who? How many?


So far wedding planning has gone pretty smooth. We chose our venue just a couple weeks after we got engaged, we set up engagement pictures right away and I even met with the florist before we came back to school, but no one tells you how hard it is to make the guest list. 

We have been sitting on a guest list for a while now and it just never seems right. Not to mention, we know too many people and are having a hard time keeping the number under 300. We don't know if inviting distant family members over college friends is better or visa versa. We don't know if we should send out just over 300 invitations because the odds of every single person coming is slim to none. There are so many questions and uncertainties when it comes to making this guest list. We want to make sure we are surrounded by people that love and support our relationship and each other and I never guessed it would be this hard. 

We have truly been blessed with the most amazing people in our lives. Sometimes through these difficult times and decisions we need to take a step back and realize the good in the mess. We are going to take one last look at the list within the next week or so and finalize it so we can get the ball rolling. We just received our Save the Dates and I just can't wait to send them out. 

 If you have any advice or know of tips and tricks on how to narrow your guest list, please let me know.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
