Now that we’re back from our mini-moon and we’re easing back into everyday life, we’ve been reflecting on the wedding and the entire planning process. From start to finish, you were truly amazing.

So many of my friends have told me how stressful and unpleasant their wedding planning felt, how they just wanted it all to be over. I never felt that way once. I knew you had everything under control. From helping us choose vendors, to managing contracts and payments, everything was seamless—even with you being on another continent.

As for the wedding day itself, it was one of the best days of our lives (breezy winds and all!). Everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined, and it was exactly what we had hoped for. Many of our friends have said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended, and that it was absolutely worth traveling to Portugal for.

We will genuinely miss our monthly chats with you—it was always such a bright spot for us.
