Trey and I have a ritual of getting breakfast most Saturdays, and one of our favorite local spots is Gailey's Breakfast Cafe. It's a cozy spot in downtown Springfield that I'm pretty sure started out as a pharmacy back in the 40s. The servers are the sweetest, I never see the bottom of my coffee cup, and they make some mean hashbrowns. It's a perfect background to just unwind our brains and talk.
It seems like our Saturday conversations have shifted from immature jokes and work ideas to full-on wedding planning (!!!!). We finally got our date and venue booked. But what color should the bridesmaid dresses be? What kinds of desserts should be at the cake table? What about flowers, invites, drinks, and the list goes on. We have yet to send out save the dates. We're late. So the world is probably going to explode at any moment.
But we're not letting wedding planning completely take over, as we've got a number of fun things going on. We're currently finishing up our first month of P90X (I hate it, but I love it). We have a few home projects planned, the next one involving tree stumps. And we've started a writing project together.
Emma's wearing: glasses c/o BonLook, denim top/thrifted, t-shirt dress/AA, coat/ModCloth (it's KnittedDove). Trey's wearing: glasses c/o BonLook, shirt, coat + scarf/Topman, pants/H&M, boots/Aldo.Do you have weekend rituals? xo. Emma (and Trey)




This looks like so much fun! We always have breakfast at home or brunch out on Sundays. This week I'm gonna make eggs Benedict!

Saturday morning is my favourite time of the week. When my fiance is here ( he's on deployment right now) I make is something sweet for breakfast. Then we head out to do the food shopping. It sounds boring but its a lovely way to unwind from the week (our jobs mean we see each other very little Monday through Friday). We buy smoothies to drink, we sometimes get a DVD to watch or buy some house decor. We turn something really routine into a date. I love it.

We like to spend part of Sunday afternoon in bed after a good lunch. It's nice to have snuggle time with your sweetie.

I love local breakfast spots like this one.
My weekend rituals always involve sleeping in and drinking lots of coffee - always relaxing.

You guys are too cute. Cannot wait to hear what you have planned for the wedding, I just know it will be fabulous.

Seems like such a lovely place. I actually never go out for breakfast.. too bad, because it seems like a great way to start the day.

What a fun ritual! I love breakfast restaurants. There is a place in NH I never get to visit anymore that makes the most delicious breakfast ever, with homemade cinnamon raisin toast that is an inch thick. *sigh* But the deli in my town makes the best breakfast sandwiches ever, so that's good too.
On Saturday mornings we usually get coffee before my boyfriend goes to pick up his son, who's with us from then till Tues. morning - the rest of the weekend is family time and we have dinner with bf's folks a lot on Sundays. Hooray for fun weekends :)
