Vegas Wedding



So about a few months ago, for my Birthday, I treated myself to a spa day. I hadn't had a facial in years, and the one I booked came with a paraffin wax hand dip. I wanted to be completely prepared and not fumbling with jewelry so I removed it before going in. Unfortunately, after my treatment I didn't make sure it was still in the zippered pouch of my purse before I left. Later that night I went to put my rings back on, only to find that they were missing! Immediately I called my salon (because it's a little far and dark roads are not my friend at night), they looked but no one had turned them in. Needless to say they were gone for good.


Fast-forward from my countless searching, sadness and feelings that my husband must think I am super careless and will never trust me with nice things again. We decided to replace them and not just put the new rings on but make it a special occasion! We booked our favorite vacation spot...Vegas!! We had always joked that it would have been fun to get married in Vegas, so this was our chance! We made reservations at The Little Neon Chapel for our anniversary date, June 30. I started looking at Pinterest ideas (bc that's what almost every girl does when scheming a plan) and I came across this:

The inspo for it ALL:


The real deal (is by designer Alex Mearing, but here is a close version:

As it got closer I realized she got married in November so it was a little cooler. We were renewing our vows in June which is hotter than SH*# out there! I found the perfect dress on Amazon and you can order exact measurements if you are in between sizes (at no extra cost). With a slight alteration from my mom, who really should have been a seamstress, I was set! Here is how it all turned out! If you are thinking to book your wedding, renewal, commitment ceremony The Little Neon Chapel is awesome! They respond quickly to emails and are super friendly, they take photos, they are right downtown so no need to worry about transportation like some of the others. I honestly can't say enough good things about them! I hope you enjoyed my Blog about our renewal!

Naperville

Over the weekend we were in Chicago and Saturday night we decided to visit Naperville. We stayed at Hotel Indigo which is right on the water and near to all the bars and restaurants. It had some really unique decor in the room and around the hotel. They have brunch on Sunday but we didn't have a chance to go. Parking is easy, and for the most, part free around Naperville. It's really a neat little area of the town; which I am told is home to over 147,000 residents, has 3 high schools, and is in 2 different counties!        The first place we checked out was a wine bar, below our hotel called " SixtyFour - A Wine Bar " ( 123 Water St #105a) . They have 64 wines on tap, but it's set up where you serve yourself. They give you a card (kind of like at the casino) and you insert it into one of the machines, choose your wine and how much you want (1oz, 3oz or 6oz). Put your glass under the spout and remove your card after it pours. If you watched my story I...

Las Vegas Girls Trip!

TRIP TIPS HELLO VEGAS!!! I had an amazing weekend with my ladies in " Sin City "! I've been there about 15 times over the last 6 years and none of my trips have ever been the same (or even similar.) I have never stayed in the same hotel twice and there is always something new to I learn on every trip. We used to have a good friend who lived in Southern California and would drive in to visit whenever we were in Vegas. We would go hiking during the day and hit the clubs at night; so over the years, I have hiked a lot of places in Nevada. Before this trip, the girls and I talked about seeing a show or doing something fun besides the club. So Thursday afternoon we decided to take a helicopter ride over Lake Mead, the Grand Canyon and around the area. Even having seen the beauty of these places before, seeing it from overhead was a whole new experience! I highly recommend checking out the helicopter tours since there is so much to see; this is a great way to cram it in a...
