Spun With Love- Our First Look

We knew early on in our wedding planning that we wanted to have a first look. Not only did our first look give us tons of time to take pics with our family, wedding party, and each other it was also a wonderful moment for the two of us to share.

Before our first look I was so giddy and excited to finally see Mr. CC and huge him and share the moments leading up to our wedding ceremony together. When I saw him on the lawn of the city library all I wanted to do was bum rush him and wrap him up in a big bear hug! Thankfully I listened to our photog Heidi and took it slow give her enough time to capture some of my favorite moments of our whole wedding day.


Doesn't he look so handsome? LOVE this man!Seriously could my smile get any bigger? My cheeks hurt just looking at this pic!

I was so excited to finally get to show of my dress to Mr. CC! I had the teeny tiniest feeling that he might not like the poofy and fluffiness of my dress. As you can see in the pic above he very much approved!

So giddy to finally be together on our wedding day!


This pic says it all. I couldn't have been more happier in that one moment on that perfectly imperfect day. After all the sadness and stress leading up to our wedding day we were finally together, hours away from finally being man and wife.

Up next we're reunited with our family and friends and one of the best wedding decisions we made!

Spun With Love- Its The Boy's Turn!

While us ladies were busy primping the boys were across town and Mister CC step dads house doing what they do best...

Drinking beer!...J/K Don't you just hate how it takes them 2 minutes to look cute? Seriously I think it took the groomsmen all of 5 minutes to get dressed that morning wich left plenty of time for them to indulge in some adult beverages.

Thankfully Mr. CC took a tad bit longer then his GM and waited for our second shooter to arrive before getting his suave on.

I had made sure to give brother CC a card to deliver to Mr CC the morning of our wedding. I had been holding onto this card for over a year and was super excited to finally get the chance to give it to him!

With Mr CC ready the boys were ready to head out for our first look!

Spun With Love- We Get Pretty!

Its Cotton Candy recap time!

A peek at whats to come!

I originally planned to kick off my recap with a rundown of all the madness leading up to our big day including the late night hours spent wiring a million and one pom poms to our giant wreathe and my bridezilla moment at the bank after they informed my debit card was cancelled and I couldn’t take out any money but really who wants to read that? So I decided to just jump in feet first with all the day of goodies hope you enjoy!

On the morning of our wedding day I woke up in bridesmaid S's guest bed to the quiet noise of her husband cooking a delicious breakfast for us and the rest of my ladies, a beautiful So Cal sunny day and an amazing inner calm. After 10 year the Mister and I were finally making it official, in a few short hours we would finally be man and wife and I vowed to savor every moment!

The morning with my girls getting pretty and eating yummy food and drinking champagne was the perfect start to the perfect day. I felt so calm and giddy after a year of planning I was finally getting the chance to put on my beloved dress and walk down the aisle.

Once our photog Heidi arrived it was go time! The girls slipped into their dresses and cardi's (a last minute addition organized by BM S and SD...thanks girls!)

Isn't my mom cute? Love her.

All my accessories that I agonized over were laid out and waiting for me-


And finally it was time to slip into The Dress-

I L-O-V-E loved my dress it was so swish and bridal I found myself playing with the skirt all day and evening!


A quick time check and we were ready!


Up next the boys clean up nice!
