Winner announced!
And the winner is…
Kelly Lynn!!
Hi, Friends! :)
A big thanks goes out to my partner in crime, Michael “Mitch” Larkin, for keeping this blog afloat over the last couple of days. (In case you missed it, he wrote the Portland post as well as “Three Funny Moments with Emma.” Mitch, I adore you. Thank you for being so supportive and helpful, not only when things get crazy but also during the normalcy of everyday life. I’ll never be able to express how lucky I feel to be your wife. I love our little existences together, and I love you.
Okay! Sorry. I’ll admit that I’m writing this at 3 a.m. Central Time. ;) But we’re in Portland with a couple of bottles of wine. We made it! And we’re just so happy to be here, and so happy to be celebrating Jess and Neal.
So in lieu of a traditional blog post, let’s go with a fun giveaway today. I’m giving away a gorgeous pair of earrings from Lisi Lerch, my favorite jewelry designer. To enter to win the earrings pictured above, simply comment in the comment section below with some congratulatory messages for Jess and Neal. Winner will be announced one week from today. <3 LOVE YOU, Jess and Neal! Congratulations!
What would we do without our friends? Congrats to Jess and Neal!

Congrats Jess and Neal, enjoy the day as it goes by so fast! Now onto the easy part of being married forever!!
Congratulations Jess and Neal! Wishing you all the best during your wedding and always!
Love these earrings!!!! Sooo, I was recently standing on Damen Avenue in Bucktown and across the street stood Neal (who I have only ever seen on Jess’s Insta Stories). I have never met Jess or Neal in person. I thought ‘that’s NICK – Jess Key’s fiance’!!! So he walks across the street and I yell out like an absolute NERD – ‘Nick, you’re Jess Keys…..’. And before I can say the next word, he tells me ‘I am Neal and Jess Keys is my wife’! haha! It was SO FUN to see someone you have seen on Insta Stories & IG for a long time now, in person. I am absolutely thrilled for Jess & Neal!!!! Neal was beaming when he said ‘she is my wife’. I imagine Jess will be the MOST gorgeous – just stunning – bride!!!!!!! And I cannot wait to hear all about it through her blog and IG. I feel like I know her – like I could go grab a glass of wine w/ her and it not be ‘awkward’. I think that is because this couple is so personable, down to earth & authentic. Congratulations Jess & Neal!!!!!!! Savor every moment of the wedding because it is going to FLY!
Congrats Neal and Jess!! I wish you both nothing but the best :)
