We’re home, the fam&house are *mostly* resettled & unpacked, so now it’s time to…
GUSH ABOUT KAYLA & VALENTYN’S INCREDIBLE WEDDING IN COSTA RICA!!! 🇨🇷💍✨
I have been thoroughly overthinking how to share our quick& incredible adventure getting to check off “international Live Wedding Painting” off my bucket list(‼️) — a photo dump will do *for now*, but i have got some stories to share!!!
For now, the highlights:
🌋the Arenal volcano, one of Costa Rica’s six active volcanoes - the focal point every time we stepped outside!! The local vendors told us it was incredibly rare how it was for Arenal to be in full visibility on the wedding day, as it usually has cloud cover being above the rainforest! And it was sunny the entire time we were there! Blessings from God for K&V 😍
✈️the passports that I FORGOT AT HOME and my friend had to overnight them to me🫠
🦎🦎🦎 cool lizards & birds everywhere!
👫🏻 mom&dad getting to dress up and go on an adventure🥰
🪰rainforest bugs liked my painting light (this was not the first cicada in the paint… or the second… or the third🤣) The painting was cut a little short by said bugs, but it will sparkle soon 😍
🌊 the hot springs!!
💍💍💍and most importantly, the most beautiful, gracious highschool sweethearts who love to travel, celebrating the rest of their lives together with the people they love the most (and inviting us along - thank you again&again!!!!!🥹❤️) Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tukalevskyy!!!
