Our First Christmas In Barcelona: Christmas Lights!

Hey friends! We’re back today with the second video in our series about Christmas in Barcelona, and today’s subject is near and dear to my exterior-illumination-loving heart… …Christmas lights! For weeks and weeks, Barclay and I watched during the daytime as thousands of lights were strung across all of the streets...

Our First Christmas In Barcelona: Christmas Markets! (VIDEO)

Happy December, friends! Hope that this holiday season finds each of you well, and snuggled up somewhere this weekend with a nice crackling fire or a warm mug of hot cocoa with some twinkly lights nearby. ✨ Here in Barcelona, the Christmas season is already in full swing, and the city is abuzz...

Our Wedding Reception

Well after all the tears in our wedding ceremony, I’m happy to report that the reception was all smiles. (Well…almost. Our first dance song gets us every time. ?)

Our Wedding Ceremony

Fun fact: I’ve attended over 200 weddings in my life. Back when I was working as a full-time musician, I used to spend my weekends working as a wedding singer. Which means that I have sat through soooo many wedding ceremonies. And ha, feel like I have seen just about everything...
