The Sweetest Occasion

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! This morning, my husband and I are off celebrating our first anniversary, which we marked on Saturday.

After adventuring around Southold and Greenport, we woke up the next morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to party. Good thing we had polished up our dancing shoes, because we were in for some fun! Kailei and Shane were married in the beautiful gardens of at Vineyard Caterers on a July day that was nothing [...]
