I Got Married {My Wedding}

I am so excited to announce to all of you that on September 7th, 2013 Brandon and I became Mr. and Mrs. Brandon Johnson! That’s right I am now officially Elisabeth Johnson!

Brandon and I had been dating for 2 years before he proposed. We then had a year to plan the wedding before we said our wedding vows. Little did we know just how much time and energy it would take to finalize all of the finishing details on the wedding. I took pictures and documented every detail that went into the wedding so I can share it all with you.

Here are some of the final results of the DIY projects that went into the wedding along with a quick recap of the day.

Giedre from Walking Dot Photography did an amazing job capturing all of the details of the day. You have to check her out and if you live in the Chicago land area, you have to give her a call and set something up. Or if you are every just passing through, you won’t be disappointed! You can also check out more the pictures from out big day Here!

The way I look at a wedding, it is the biggest and most fun party that you are ever going to through with all of your friends and family. Now marriage, that is a completely different thing. Brandon and I not only prepared for the wedding but for the Sacrament of Marriage as well. I will go into more details about that later but I am officially restarting my Wedding Wednesdays! I am going to start from the beginning on every single detail for planning a wedding!

I didn’t want to post all of the pictures beforehand because I wanted everything to be a surprise for all of my guest as many of them read my blog and would have known everything I was doing. So now that the wedding is over and married life has started I can now share all of my secrets with all of you.

An Unexpected Surprise {Wedding Update}

I can’t believe how fast the time flies by. I will be honest, I didn’t have a post for all of you today.

Brandon and I have been working so hard to get ready for our wedding but most importantly for our life long marriage. So many people get so focused on the preparations for the wedding and reception that they forget some of the major preparations for the rest of your lives together.

This past week Brandon and I have been taking a Marriage Prep Course, that our Church offers, and it has been the best thing we could have done for our future life together. We want to make sure that we have a Healthy, Happy, Holy and Life Long Marriage. I will be sharing more about that as we get closer to the wedding.

As for today, like I said, I didn’t have a post for all of you until Brandon surprised me with these beautiful flowers. He always knows just what to do to bring a smile to my face.

I think that so many of us can relate that we all can easily get caught up in the busyness of life that we often forget to take the time to appreciate the little things in life.

There are so many things you can appreciate from a simple flower. They can always bring a smile to your face and add a sweet aroma to a room.

Throughout all of the busyness in life, make sure you take time to enjoy the little things around you.

I want to thank Brandon for always being there for me when I need him the most and always knowing just want to do to bring a smile to my face! Thank you for my unexpected surprise, you knew I needed it.

Have you ever had a unexpected surprise that put a smile on your face just when you needed it the most?

My Newest Inspiration!

Have you ever had a time in your life where something inspired you? Something that made you see something you had never seen before. Or maybe look at something in a different way?

There are so many things that can give someone an inspiration. It can be a book, a picture, a song or even a color and I am excited to share with you my newest inspiration. I just can’t seem to get enough of the color purple! Everything purple catches my eye. Although, I am not noticing the light purple as much as I am the deep, rich, eggplant purple! The main thing I love about an inspiration is that it usually is something that you look at and it automatically puts a smile on your face!

When I look at a deep, rich purple color it makes me think of the darkest color of a beautiful sunset and I can almost feel the warmth of the sun at the end of summer. It immediately lifts my mood helps me to remember the little things in life.

Here are a few pictures to help you understand the richness of the color and just how beautiful it is.
