{Me + Tony the morning after the wedding}

WE’RE MARRIED!!!!!!!!! I still can’t believe it. Tony and I drove back to Los Angeles from Lake Tahoe last night, and both of us kept saying that it feels like we’re playing house. We giggle every time we say “husband” or “wife.” We leave for our honeymoon tonight and there is just too much to say and too many emotions to process for me to really write about the wedding yet… Plus, I still have to do laundry, pack and see if I can get my husband (HUSBAND!) to help me laser my bikini line (TMI!) So, I’m going to rip myself off and share what I wrote on my personal Facebook page yesterday:

Thank you for all the sweet wishes, kind words and to our loved ones, for making the trip to Tahoe to celebrate our wedding. Every cliche is true. It was the best, happiest, funniest, most joyful and intensely emotional day of my life and I wish I could re-live it a million times over. So very excited to begin this new chapter of my life as Mrs. Cavalero with my husband, Tony Cavalero. WE’RE MARRIED! All my dreams came true.

And thank you for reading and supporting this blog. It started as a place to chart all of the mad crazy fun of planning our wedding, and has evolved into a place for me to document my life. I’m so grateful to each of you for tuning in. And as soon as we’re back from the honeymoon, I plan to continue posting regularly. But until then, I will leave you with a few (a lot) of my favorite photos of the days surrounding our wedding. It was the best week of my life.

And in the meantime, please keep up with the honeymoon and keep in touch on Instagram!

Love, Annie Cavalero
