It feels so good to finally say, we finished our honeymoon video!!! It’s safe to say I never thought it would take almost seven months for us to find the time to edit it completely, but better late than never. One of the aspects of marriage I wasn’t fully prepared for was just the lack of wanting to do anything else but be together, especially in the first few months! Even when we’re just watching TV, I love not being on my phone or computer or Read more
I now know that Classically Grace readers really enjoy travel content, because so many people visited my site after I posted the first honeymoon recap, my blog crashed! Preston (my husband and tech guy) usually gets a notification when the blog is overloaded, and he can optimize it, but so many people got on this time it just quit! So I apologize if you were trying to read the blog yesterday morning and afternoon, but it should be up and running again. In the next few months, he may try moving it to a different host, but in the mean time, here we are! Read more
Now that the wedding and honeymoon are officially over and married life is just starting, I feel like I can finally sit down and recap it all. The wedding was the best day of my entire life, and I don’t think I will ever forget one moment of it. Following our wedding, our London honeymoon was literally incredible.
The title of this blog post makes me so, so excited!! I can’t believe that we know where we are going on our honeymoon. Since we first got engaged and did the general wedding planning things (date, venue, dress, etc.) I have looked at dozens of honeymoon destinations. The first place we looked at was London, England, but we glanced at flight prices right after the wedding, and they were insane! Right after Christmas is a travel hotspot, and it was making flights more expensive thanRead more
We finally checked Ireland off our list with a five day jaunt around some of the country’s biggest highlights, only to put it right back on our list because there’s still so much to see. Ireland in September was truly incredible! My mom and my husband’s mom also accompanied us on our trip, and it was both their first time visiting this part of the world, so we began our trip in London (which I feel everyone needs to visit at least once in their life if possible!). We’ve already been to London (and I covered it extensively on the blog here and here), so I mainly want to recap our time in Ireland.Read more
If you haven’t already gathered, we are BIG fans of Scotland. Overall as a country, it just feels so underrated – before, during, and after our recent trip, numerous people asked us, “why Scotland?!” and I think that needs to change! So here I am again to sell Scotland. If you’ve never thought about visiting this magical, ethereal, ancient land, please let this post encourage you to do so!Read more

The theme for me this month was reading physically. My physical TBR shelf was piling up with no relief in site, so I tried to force myself to stop binge requesting books from the library and read what I actually own for a few weeks! I’m so glad because I finally got to get through some I’ve been wondering about for months, and Read more
Someone recently asked us how Preston and I so regularly prioritize travel and make travel work for us. I had truly never thought about this, but when I went to text her back, I suddenly realized I had so, so much I wanted to say about our efforts to prioritize travel.
This is never something I set out to do, but somehow we find ourselves in our early 20s and very dedicated to travel and exploring how we can sneak it in as regularly as possible. As I was writing it out, I thought it would make the perfect blog post, and my friend agreed!Read more

With looking back at previous posts being easier than ever, I was inspired to round up my favorite personal blog posts I published in 2020. I know, I know- it’s already mid-February. In my defense though, I’ve seen a lot of people still publishing these “favorite/best _____ of 2020” even now, so I’m going for it as well!Read more
