Today marks one year of marriage for Alex and me — an incredible year that has turned our lives upside down and inside out in all the best ways. In honor of our anniversary, we wanted to share some photos from our small backyard wedding.

It wasn’t easy planning a wedding in just a few short weeks while four months pregnant, but we managed. Unfortunately, that meant keeping the guest list very limited — just immediate family and a few friends. It means more to me than I can put into words that my father married us. Everything turned out better than expected. The weather didn’t quite cooperate, but we didn’t care. It was the perfect little intimate gathering to celebrate our love for each other and our sweet baby who was yet to come.
