Missing this day. Stumbling across this picture reminded me to savor every single minute of your life. It goes by so fast and it's very easy to get caught up in the destination. Life happens on the journey.

Ask me anything about Cibu or haircare. Or life in general. I'm cool. http://formspring.me/Cibu17

Jenn and Matt featured on Stylemepretty.com

It's hard to believe that our wonderful wedding day was nearly four months ago. After a year of planning and more heightened emotion than I'd ever condensed into a 12 month period, October 17 is now but a fond memory. Yesterday I had the surprise of reliving it all over again after our wedding photography was featured on "IT" blog Stylemepretty.com. Photographer Jen Curtis did an amazing job capturing my vision. And Matt didn't look too shabby himself.

Enjoy! Happy New Year!

October 17: Fashion Moment.

Ash Lawn-Highland is an outdoor venue. Let's all close our eyes and visualize the evening of October 17: 72 degrees, very slight breeze; a saturated sunset casts long amber shadows across the Peacock Yard.

Ommmm.

Just in case the weather forecast doesn't match my meditation (and even if it does), guests are encouraged to accessorize outer wear in colors from our wedding pallet. Think: fuschia neck tie, magenta cardigan, marigold shawl, cobalt chapeau...

Fashion moment? Hello! Think of the photos...
