Though I share a lot about myself here, I don’t share a lot of my life in general. This, however, I thought was pretty important to share. Corey and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary today! Without him, I wouldn’t even be a Hayes, making the name of this blog defunct. Besides that, I wouldn’t have my better half, my #1 Disney buddy, the guy who makes me smile every day. Most of all, the man who I am thankful every day for making me feel like I’m special. I have a few wedding pictures to share with you all today. It was so hard to pick just a few! If you live in the South, definitely consider Abra Michelle Photography to photograph your special occasion. She and her husband are an amazing team. I treasure every picture I have of this amazing day. Enjoy!

So pretty! đ
It is still to this day the most fun wedding I've ever been to. <3
Still gorgeous! You, the whole day, even Corey. <3 Loved being a part of this with you!
Holy smokes! You look so gorgeous and happy in these! Love, love, love, that you shared them! Happy Anniversary!
I do think hiring a wedding planner is quite necessary if you have enough budget and it's a medium or large wedding with at least 100 wedding guests!
