Two and Half Months!

Just two and a half months until the big day! It is unreal how fast this is going. We're having a great time planning and even learning a bit more about each other in the process. Earlier this month we celebrated four years since our first date. By celebrated, I mean, I reminded Ivan and he nodded. :-P

Things are also picking up with the work load too. We've been doing rental walk-throughs, venue walk-throughs, picking out awesome dancing songs, buying our wedding rings, etc. Planning a wedding is like a second job, only for me, a really really fun second job. Ivan has even had some serious input on linen colors and the silverware we use. Who knew!?

All kidding aside, we're really enjoying the last few months of being an engaged couple. We have a lot of things to look forward to, but also a lot to take in right now before we become The Baranovs***!!!***
We're planning on moving before the wedding as well since we've totally outgrown our current apartment. All very exciting stuff!
Life doesn't seem to slow down, so we know how important it is to cherish these times.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the wedding!
XOXO Jackie and Ivan

4 months engaged! #veterans

Hi everyone!

It has been a couple of months since our engagement and we are so excited for our wedding in July! Planning is coming along, with lots to still do, but plenty already done. Wedding planning is like a whole new job on top of your existing job! That said, I've always wanted to plan events as a career, so this is kind of like my dream job. :-)

If you are planning to stay in the area during our wedding, please make sure to check out the "details" section of our website to see the two hotels we have discounted rates at.

More to come as we get closer!

Cheers,
Jackie + Ivan

Welcome to our wedding site!

We are just starting out our wedding planning and super excited to share with all of you. I keep telling people that "i'm new at this", to which they all laugh and say "of course you are". But honestly, this is all uncharted territory and exciting and overwhelming all in one. 

Ivan and I have been together (depending on who you ask) for about 3 years, and not only was getting married the next logical step, but we feel like kids in a candy shop right now. This new "fiance" status is so amazing and we are learning new things about each other every day. I'll say for sure that I'm more clear than I already was that this is the man for me. I'm so very grateful that we get to share these emotions and joy with you on July 30, 2016. 

Over the next few months I will periodically post on this blog to share updates and general hellos so you can share in our planning if you so wish.


Looking forward to this journey!

XOXO
Jackie
