Since Holly’s comment on my “Things to Remember on My Wedding Day” post clearly moved you guys just as much as it moved me, I just had to reach out to her and ask her for the picture from her wedding day of the incredibly romantic moment she described.
For those of you who may need a refresher, here was Holly’s wonderful wedding memory:
“I just got married three months ago…My husband and I didn’t want to see each other before the wedding, but there was a picture that I wanted. It was us standing on either side of the door to the “bridal suite,” unable to see each other, but holding hands through a small crack in the door. The photographer was able to capture pictures of both of our faces, and then our hands together. It was at this moment that I became so excited and realized how much I missed him and couldn’t wait to see him at the end of the aisle about thirty minutes from that point. My voice was shaky when I responded to him saying “Hey, babe” which is what he always says, and I became all teary. I will remember that moment as long as I live.”
And now for the adorable pictures…

I love the last picture. Holly looks absolutely stunning and so excited and in love. What a perfect wedding memory.
Thank you for sharing your story and your beautiful pictures, Holly!
Breakfast
Now on to slightly less exciting things… but still pretty exciting if you’re a food love-ah like me…
Breakfast!
My morning meal was a hot one.
Hot Oats
I made myself a hot bowl of oatmeal and stirred in a scoop of All the Whey cupcake batter protein powder before topping the mix with frozen banana slices for added creaminess.
Spoonful of Naner Oats
I also sipped on a hot tumbler full of pumpkin spice coffee that I snagged from my gym.
Pumpkin Spice, What, What!?
It tastes like fall!
Is anyone else out there unbelievable stoked that it’s Friday? Woop! 😀
I’m excited about my lunchtime post today. It’s survey-style which I simply adore.
Enjoy your mornin’!

Don’t you just love that you can wear a sweater and boots on one friday and then a tank top and shorts the next Firday! 😉 Give me some of the pumpkin spice!!
i know! it’s totally insane. i’m wearing a sleeveless top & shorts today… go figure!
mmmm pumpkin spice!!
I love wedding pictures… they’re always so cute!
Thanks for sharing those photos from Holly. That story moved me to tears as I read it the first time in the original post, so it was nice to see the photo, too.
Me too, haha I’m such a sap!
Your breakfast sounds delish!
Cupcake batter protein powder? I need to look into purchasing that! I’m addicted to all things cupcake!
I live in Florida too and I’m in shorts and a light sweater while everyone around my college campus is bundled up in jackets and jeans! It’s in the 60’s, not 20’s! 🙂
I love the hot oatmeal, pumpkin spice coffee but shorts and a sleeveless top. I can’t imagine still being able to wear that stuff! Do you like living in the hot weather or would you prefer it to be a bit chillier?
i like it! it isn’t fun in the middle of summer sometimes when you literally start sweating the minute you walk outside, but this time of year it’s glorioooous!
the handholding pic is too adorable.
Gahhh that’s adorable…totally a tearjerker 😉 I love it.
Enjoy your morning HAPPY FRIDAY 😀
oh my gosh her pictures are so cute! love that wedding story 🙂
Tank top and shorts? I am so jealous! I’m bundled up in a long sleeve shirt, uggs and a north face! Haha. Love pumpkin spice coffee! I had some earlier this morning!
I love those wedding pictures and the wedding story. It is so incredibly romantic. 🙂 I love weddings!
I’m sooo jealous of you wearing a tank top & shorts in October. I’m currently in a comfy sweater, jeans & boots !!
Holly’s photos are gorgeous! 🙂
Cake batter protein powder sounds great! Where do you buy it??
nutraplanet.com!
Those wedding picures are so cute! You must be so excited! Its so soon! =)
That picture is adorable! What a great idea…I should write these things down and save them 🙂
Awww, that is SO stinkin’ cute!! 😀 She is a BEAUTIFUL bride!!
I love your coffee mug, by the way 🙂
Those photos are gorgeous!
I can’t believe you’re wearing shorts at the end of October! Please send some warm weather my way! I love the wedding photo – such an adorable moment. My favorite wedding story goes to Kevin Costner. He rowed his bride out to the middle of a lake in between the ceremony and reception just to have a few moments alone together on their big day.
The hand-holding picture is beautiful — and so symbolic for marriage: 2 people with their own lives (2 rooms) knowing still little of each other (they can’t really see each other), yet promising each other with love to hold on to each other (holding hands) and go on the journey together. No wonder Holly remembers this moment so vividly!
Ow ow Holly! Beautiful!!!
Thanks for sharing Julie!
I just love that photo of Holly!!! 🙂
and umm miss PBF yourself – oh how I am jealous of the fact that you are wearing shorts today while I drove into work this morning with a coat and scarf on while blasting the heat in my car because it was only 2 degrees! (35.2F) There was even snow this morning just north of us! Can I move to Florida please??? 😉
That picture of Holly is so beautiful! I wish it was me (heehee)
Thanks for sharing that with us!
so cute! we did a photo like that with a couple whose wedding we shot…they were so cute! it was on either side of a rich purple curtain…gorgeous!
I love those photos, especially the close-up black and white one. Adorable!
Love that you get to wear shorts to work, you always look so cute! Love those wedding photos!
Not even gonna lie, that picture of their hands made me choke up a little. I need to stop wearing eyeliner when I read your blog because all the wedding talk constantly gives me sappy tears!!
Great pictures!!!
I noticed you’ve been wearing shorts more often… I might take your lead next summer, as this is a personal challenge of mine, too!!!
Wow, that first pic completely gives me the chills–how beautiful! Had the same breakfast as you today. Yum!
What beautiful pictures! Holly’s face is truly priceless, and it makes me hope that all folks are THAT excited, happy, and thrilled on their wedding day!
I’m about to switch back to oatmeal for breakfasts because it’s getting freezing around here, but I’m a little nervous about staying full all morning. Do you find that oatmeal with banana and a scoop of protein powder does the trick for you? I don’t like to go crazy with toppings, but I do want my oatmeal to pack a punch. Any other tips? Thanks!
it definitely holds me over! i also add a scoop of peanut butter or some chopped nuts which helps too! so yummy & so filling!
The wedding pictures are so lovely!
That pic is amazing!
I know others have already said this, but I am completely jealous you can wear shorts and a tank top! I literally have 3 tops on and 2 pairs of pants on today!
Those pictures are so freaking amazing! I want to remember them for my wedding day…LOL! 😉
PS – What do you think about the cupcake batter protein powder? (taste, value, texture?) It sounds so good! 🙂
it’s really good! i buy it in big tubs from nutraplanet.com & it lasts FOREVERRRR. yum.
I am a newly wed and saw this story holding handsq between the door. My hubby and I wanted to capture the “first look” so our photographer suggested coming up behind him and tapping his shoulder. We then displayed the process at our wedding! We loved it!
