*December Bride*

I can't believe it's almost the Big Day!! One of my best friends is getting married!!! I was so honored when she asked me -less than a year ago, now- to be apart of her Bridal Court. I love the two of them & I am so proud! 

And thank goodness the reception was indoors! It had been rainy and cold for several days leading up to the big day. I bought my heels the day before the rehearsal and chose to break them in on this day. Although I love the new shoes, my feet begged to sit every chance I had.

It was nice to finally meet the other Groomsmen. The hard part about being the only one living out of state is that I never see any of them. So sad. But dinner was nice! We ate at a chill Italian Restaurant and got to hang out all together. The Harkiewicz Clan, the Bridesmaids, and the Groomsmen. I certainly had a lot of fun talking Sarah and James through their Honeymoon plans. They'll be flying out to Florida to visit my old stomping grounds: Hogwarts! I didn't know until that night that Sarah had never been on a plane before! It was so much fun giving her travel tips from airports, hotels, the theme parks, and Universal Studios. I was sure to tell them all I could as an insider myself! 

Here's to our *December* Briii~de!

Birthday Surprise!

HiHi!!

For 2weekends in a row,

I decided to make the 4-6hour trip home.

Last weekend, 

I visited for the Easter Holiday;

This weekend,

I decided to surprise my mom & little brother

for their birthdays!

April 7th seems to be a very popular birthday!

I can count 7people I know that share it!

This year,

my mom was turning 41

& my brother, Nicky, was turning 13!!

Neither of them knew that I was driving up for the weekend,

I spent the whole day with Suzette preparing a cake.

& Before the night was up, 

I was walking into the house with their surprise:

Me & a Cake!!

It's Become a Sort of Tradition

that when I return home,

I become a Personal Cora Photographer:
