Life Unscripted: Our Wedding Story

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2013/10/our-wedding-story.html

Wednesday, October 23, 2013. This post is a little late, but better late than never right? I wanted to write out the events of our wedding, both leading up to it and the actual day, to share with you all and to remember everything for years to come. For those who have followed this journey, it all started with our engagement. Continued with wedding planning. And wraps up with this post. For more details, check out the Wedding Directory at the bottom of the "My Wedding" page. I made it to the church about...

Life Unscripted: The Must-Have Wedding Freebie: A Website

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-must-have-wedding-freebie-website.html

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. The Must-Have Wedding Freebie: A Website. I recently received some sweet complements on my wedding website, including one lady who wanted to pass it on to her daughter who is planning a wedding. I thought it was nice that people took the time to read through all the pages and then let me know that they liked it. Screenshot of the homepage of my wedding website. Why create a wedding website? You can also save money on RSVP card postage by having your guests file their RSVP online.

Life Unscripted: My Chicago Engagement

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-chicago-engagement.html

Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Started coming together for us, but that would take a whole separate blog post to go into. Let's just say, we both grew a lot, and in the end, we grew together. I knew the proposal was coming "soon." I just didn't know when (or where) "soon" would show up. Things actually worked out remarkably well for Nick- at least I think- to keep "soon" a secret. I wrote about most of how we ended up in Chicago without me really expecting anything on day 24. Between Brandi and Nick, they pla...

Life Unscripted: August 2015

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 28, 2015. Brokenness and Grace: A Lesson for My Heart. So It's been a while since I've come here in order to write something from deep within. I've wrestled with so many thoughts and feelings lately, but I've been so caught up in the "other stuff," I haven't allowed myself the time to just sit and write. And for that I'm sorry. I've learned in this song-and-dance we Christians like to do, that none of us are perfect and therefore, we'll all. Fail each other all. Of the time. We need gr...

Life Unscripted: Confessions of a Pseudo-Adult

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2011/05/confessions-of-pseudo-adult.html

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Confessions of a Pseudo-Adult. Some (scratch that, most. Days I don't feel like a grown-up, surprisingly enough. My life is something like a teenager living with all the perks and most of the responsibilities of an adult. Try mixing "Thirteen Going on 30" with "Never Been Kissed". or something like that. 1 - I sleep with stuffed animals on my bed, including a giant Simba that also doubles as a puppet. I just can't seem to separate myself. 2 - I got a free subscription to Seventeen.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014. How to Create a Wedding Slideshow. Tips for Creating a Wedding Slideshow. 1 Ask for help. One of the biggest challenges to creating a slideshow is gathering the content.

Life Unscripted: Explored: Northern Michigan

http://eliseloyola.blogspot.com/2015/07/explored-northern-michigan.html

Friday, July 24, 2015. July has been such. I feel like we've been doing almost non-stop traveling since the month began. I haven't had a moment to sit down and write on the blog until now. Over the last week and a half, Nick and I got to travel to northern Michigan, specifically the Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island area, and some of the Upper Peninsula. I wanted to share our adventures and photos in a new "Explored" post so here goes! During special trips to the island, some of the ferry lines will take a l...
