*Husband* appreciation post. We were in the airport lounge in Tahiti waiting for our super delayed red eye flight. I reached for my medicine that I’ve been taking for a few weeks now for my persistent allergy symptoms. I was too lazy to get water, so the options in front of me to wash down the 💊💊 were orange wine or sparkling water. I decided washing down medicine with alcohol was probably not the answer, so I popped the two (big) pills and took a sip of sparkling. The pills immediately got stuck in my throat.. I tried taking another sip of sparkling water but it did nothing. Then I realized I was choking. I couldn’t speak and could barely breathe. I whispered something to Grantland and pointed to my throat. He thought I was just telling him my allergy throat tickles were back. Then I stood up and whispered “I’m choking” again and pointed to my throat. I also looked around in case Grantland didn’t know what to do. There were a lot of people in the lounge. But he immediately did the waist thrusts and after two, the pills dislodged and I was okay. I felt a bit freaked out afterwards and wondered what I would have done if I was alone.. Or if the Heimlich maneuver didn’t work. I’m so glad I was around a lot of people in an environment where I’m sure someone would have done something to help if G didn’t know what to do. Anyway, PSA to all: make sure you know how to do the Heimlich maneuver BOTH on others and yourself! Now we know to start with hitting the other person’s back 5x first before doing the waist thrusts. Also to get someone to call 911 as well just in case. I’m going to take these pills one at a time now! And not with sparkling water anymore lol

This was probably the nicest resort we’ve ever stayed at. Remodeled in 2018, comfiest deck chairs and bed, overwater hammocks, LUXE bathroom. So many different places to lounge. TY points that we have been hoarding since forever. Blew them all on this honeymoon and it was definitely worth it.

Instagram vs. reality Instagram: Aw, what a romantic and cozy spot to hang out and cuddle Reality: it’s sooo hot and humid outside this morning and tiff is making me lay under a down comforter while she checks the tripod photos 50x. Me- sweating profusely as I run back and forth from the tripod and the hammock. Had to stand under the AC with my arms up for 10 mins afterwards 🥵😇

It feels like a dream being here. I slash we have been nonstop wedding planning since 2019 ?!? 2018?? It was a never-ending task list.. dragged on forever. And it was not easy for an indecisive perfectionist like me. It feels so good to be DONE with all the stress and decision making. It was all worth it in the end and it was the best day ever, but I’m so ready to rip down all those post-it notes and never have to pick between 8 diff dusty rose colors and 7 burnt oranges ever again (things printed out don’t look like how they do on screen!) Also, forgot to mention that planning a wedding during a global pandemic is 20x more difficult.. on top of all the uncertainty and shuffling all of our vendor’s availability, we had to send SO many emails out to guests regarding postponements, vaccine requirements, PCR testing etc. We almost changed the venue at one point ! Hit me up if you’re planning a wedding and I’ll be happy to share tips. Esp if you’re planning a wedding in Los Angeles 😊

Honeymooning in French Polynesia and it feels like paradise 🌊🏝☀️🛖

✨🌷🍐The details🍐🌷✨ 🗣Behind the scenes- Lilian and Alexis from @justmerriedevents did so much to make sure all of our vendors were good to go and that everything ran smoothly. We could not have made this day happen without them! 🌱Dana, Clare, and the Millwick team are freaking amazing and seem to reply to emails at all hours of the day 😆 Since we never came back to LA to see the venue again after feb 2020, they were so helpful to bring our vision to life. 📷Nicole of @kapsuleco was the absolute best and made me feel so comfortable all day long. Her work is BEAUTIFUL and I can’t wait to see the full gallery. Thank you to second shooter David as well! 💐Ly and her team at @foxglove_losangeles created the most beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, alter pieces, and hanging installation. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it all for the first time. And the fruit! My fruit-obsessed family appreciated it all. 🍽Jessica with our rentals at @3littlebirdseventplanning was really pleasant to work with and very accommodating! I really wanted our specific arch, gold silverware and these table runners. Everything came together so nicely. 💌Laura of @whitewintercreative designed all the paper goods! Happy to hear I influenced you to create an Instagram account 😅 📜Praz at @citycopyprintcenter helped to get all the paper goods printed and patiently dealt with my indecisiveness on choosing colors. If you’re in SF, go to him for print stuff! 👨🏻Husband @grantland decided he wanted to 3D print our name for the magnet wall days before we had to go to LA. He also made the projector backgrounds two days beforehand. 🥣Grantland and I also made 140 wedding favors (ended up for 90 guests), 20 vases & ikebana bowls. @sunsetstudio.sf ⬅️ Catering, bartending, cake, ice-cream, DJ, hair/makeup shoutouts to come in a later post! Such a great vendor team🤗 So much work and effort was put into our wedding.

When people asked us why we were getting married in LA, we said it’s because we fell in love with the venue! It has such a cool urban jungle 🌱vibe and it allowed us to be as creative as we wanted. Also, I like LA weather 😎☀️🍦 We didn’t think a global pandemic would get in the way of our original wedding date in May 2020, but luckily everything worked out 1.5 years later. We are grateful our guests were willing to both be vaccinated and tested negative to attend. Our vendors all wore kn95s. We did all that we could to hold a safe event ☺️ We are so happy to finally be officially married! It was the best day ever 🥰 Photographer: @kapsuleco Planning/coordination: @justmerriedevents Florals/fruit: @foxglove_losangeles Rentals: @3littlebirdseventplanning Catering: @hungrybearcatering Bartending: @ilovemrbartender Pampas grass: plucked off the side of the road some time in 2020 by the bride and groom 🌾

Can’t believe this magical bachelorette weekend was ~2 weeks ago.. and can’t believe our wedding is in ~2 weeks 😱

👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👰🏻‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ I had the best bachelorette party getaway ever!! I had been looking forward to this weekend away with my dearest girlfriends for such a long time. The original party was supposed to be March 2020 and I remember being like “oh maybe it’ll be ok in 2 weeks.” HA! Nope, we had to cancel everything. Fast forward 1.5 years later- I had such an amazing time🥰 Thank you so much to my maid of honor and sister @aimeedang, my bridesmaids @susanjeng, @itstracy, @lilpoosan & @chanelhungry for planning such a special weekend away in the desert 🌵🏜🌵 I’m so grateful to have the best girlfriends. All so patiently doing these sorority photoshoots😂, hiking in the heat, playing bach games, and helping make delicious food & drinks 🥯🍔🥑🐟🧇🍹 Thank you for an incredible weekend! (Side note - I made sure everyone attending was fully vaxxed, had a negative covid test, and we actually didn’t go out to eat/drink at all) 💪🏼 #tiffslastspreeinjoshuatree #wecantchewsadanghashtag

🌊Tunnels Beach is supposed to be one of the best spots for snorkeling in Kauai, but we didn’t have snorkeling gear with us that day! We also didn’t expect to spend so much time here, but once we were able to snag a parking spot, we stayed a while. It’s easily one of my favorite beaches and was one the highlights of our trip. The green backdrop, the clear and calm water, and the giant fiddle fig trees to lay under😍. Can’t wait to go back one day and see the 🐠 🐠
