Wedding Wednesdays: Man's Best Friend

 

I don't know about y'all but I am an absolute dog lover. I have had a dog all of my life and I truly can't imagine life without one! My family has always had big dogs... from a Lab mixed with Shepherd to a Lab mixed with Great Dane! I love the idea of having your furry companion at your wedding. A dog is with you through the ups and downs of life and always seem to know when you need their head on your knee... Why not share the happiest day with your sweet dog?! I think having a {well behaved} pooch at an outdoor wedding is a great way to add a personal loving touch... and why not deck them out in flowers, bows, or bow ties?!

Such a sweet grey face... Nothin' better than a man's best friend hangin' with the groom and his men!

I love this...Look at that well-mannered pup waitin' for the groom and bride to get hitched!

The bond between a girl and her dog is stronger than any diamond! I would cherish a picture from my wedding day with my sweet four-legged companion who walked with me through the struggles and joys of life!

December Goals

I can not believe it is already December! The last month of 2013... WHAT?! This year has absolutely flown by and 2014 is just around the corner. December means many different things to me. It's a time for family and hot chocolate by a fire, it's a time to celebrate the GREATEST gift the world has ever received, it's a time for traditions and giving, and it's a time for driving around looking at twinkly lights. December is also a time to reflect on the year and set new goals. I wanted to begin writing my monthly goals as well as begin the process of planing my goals for 2014. Look out 2014, I'm comin' for ya!
