Kristen & Ryan Celebrate 1 Year!

Hello CCP lovers! Kristen and Ryan here! We had the pleasure of working with Tonya during our wedding on the canal last July and just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Here are a few thoughts about life one year after the big day!

We didn’t live together before we got married so we were both in for a rude awakening when we started our adventure together as man and wife. Many a night, Ryan’s shins have managed to smack into the dresser drawers that I consistently leave open. On the other hand I’ve been amazed at the ungodly amount that my husband giggles when watching SpongeBob Squarepants on any given Saturday morning. Like every couple, we have our differences and working through them has definitely made us stronger.

Everyone will always tell you that your wedding day is “just one day” but we can’t tell you how many of our guests have said that all the personal details helped them truly celebrate us as a couple. One year later, we still love our wedding day even if it was just “one day,” it is the one day that marks the start of our lives together. To celebrate we shared the recreated top of our cake (I LOVE Heavenly Sweets!) with friends and family before our move to West Palm Beach. On the actual day of our anniversary Ryan brought me breakfast in bed, then we picnicked on the beach, watched our wedding video and shared a perfect ending to the day by dining at an oceanfront table at The Breakers for dinner. It was great day!

Since our wedding, I’ve met up with Tonya numerous times to catch up on each other’s lives or just to simply go shoe shopping. When you hire a Circle City Planner you’re truly making a new friend, one that honestly cares just as much about your life and your marriage as she does about your wedding day details.

Blessings to you all,
-Kristen and Ryan

We here at CCP are all about eating healthy (when we can find time to eat) and working out. We know our brides out there want to look great on their wedding day and the best way to achieve that goal is to find a great work out routine that you will want to stick with. We recently had the privilege of meeting with Crystal Hammon of Yogic Bride who explained the benefits of starting to practice yoga as a way to get in shape for your wedding.

Over 70 percent of brides say they want to lose weight before their wedding. But nothing sets you up for a lifetime of yo-yo dieting more than an obsession with prewedding weight loss. "That's especially true if you are already at a healthy weight," said Crystal Hammon, an Indianapolis yoga teacher and owner of Yogic Bride. New science showing a link between yoga and weight control is making yoga one of the top fitness trends among brides.

No one knows why for certain, but people who practice yoga are more successful at losing and maintaining weight. One theory is that yoga makes people more susceptible to change by improving their ability to observe what is happening internally in an objective, non-judgmental way. That changes the relationship of mind to body, and eventually, to food and eating. If you want to change you're the way you think about food, yoga gives you the spiritual connection to your body that can help you make those changes.

Yogic Bride is offering 8 free bridal fitness classes to the first three brides who respond to this article at info@yogicbride.com.
