When I was looking for my own wedding gown, I had but one request. I wanted the biggest, most beautiful ballgown I could get my hands on.

My husband and I have been married 11 years. And life has changed so hard core over those 11 years, it's hard to put into words. But seeing this 10 year anniversary session - photographed so incredibly beautifully by our friend, Greg Finck - I'm reminded that despite time flying at the speed of light, and everything around us changing and growing, at our very core, we are exactly the same.

People always ask me what I would have done differently if I were to be given a wedding re-do. Well, I'd start with the guest list. 200 people - many of whom I didn't even get a chance to say hello to - filled our ballroom and while I loved the support and the pure love that permeated the day - a wedding built for two would have been just as magical. And this one, crafted by Chiara Sernesi of Weddings in Tuscany, with photos by...
