"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall" -The Great Gatsby {by F. Scott Fitgerald} A cold and grey morning had me out of bed early this Tuesday. It was as if Fall whispered in my ear..."I'm here!" and I couldnt help but enjoy some couch and blanket time while organizing some work things. As I lunched with my friend Jane yesterday (after 5yrs of working in Bay Ridge, this was my first friend who has met me in south Brooklyn for lunch...such a treat), we reminisced about last year at this time. She & I were both gearing up for our Big Days and the wedding buzz was all-encompasing for the two of us. Our banter that was once "have you decided on shoes for your bridesmaids?...or...how did the makeup trial go?" was now "tell me about how the apartment construction is coming along?....and...what are you and the hubby doing for the holidays?" As the time comes around again this year, my heart flutters in excitement for family & friends who are making this same journey we once took. {My sister & Brady, my brother-in-law Andrew & Irina, my high school friend Bryan & Ashley, and my sweet girlfriend Lindsay & Brian.} Memories of invitation prep, honeymoon planning, dress fittings, escort card stylizing, music choices and engagement photos(above) all rise up in me and are completely aligned with the cool morning breeze of September coming to an end and October's colorful leaves just around the corner. In the Fall that is today, I find myself so happily grounded in our togetherness as Mr. & Mrs., our decisions made as man & wife, and the love that has grown even since our wedding day. We'll cheers to a year of marriage so soon (!!!) and I'm very grateful for the reflection this season has granted me already.
