We did it! - Officially The Sancens

It's hard to believe that we were finally able to have our celebration this past October! WOAH it was one hell of ride.
Jesus and I both say regularly that it is such a bittersweet feeling looking back. We are so happy to have been able to have the celebration but after having something like that to look forward to for so long, at times we miss the process. While there is so much to tell y'all about the day I wanted to start with a quick thank you from us, officially The Sancens. 

First I have to thank my amazing husband for being incredibly supportive throughout the process and working so hard to make sure we could have the day we deserved. I cannot tell you how many conversations we had to have throughout those two years of planning to figure out where we would land. There were so many what ifs and worries about what was the right choice.

After we made the call to cancel our venue, cut our list, and throw the party at home we finally felt like we could enjoy the process again. While we still had additional concerns and protocols to keep in mind, we were looking forward to celebrating with a intimate list of family and friends. ​

Next I need to thank our family and friends who supported us along the way. Without them, and their understanding, our already complicated planning process would have been impossible. All the phone calls asking for their opinion, feedback on what was safe concerning COVID, and just being there to listen were all such important parts of helping us keep a level head during  a pretty stressful process. 

Then of course we have to give a HUGE shoutout to all our amazing vendors. To the ones who stuck with us from the beginning and the ones we had to pick up along the way. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a solid vendor team for any event. We will be forever grateful for their hard work and passion in helping us execute our celebration!

While we knew that throwing this type of celebration at home would be tricky, we were excited for the flexibility it gave us to work on some of the detail items we wanted to incorporate. Bottom line the goal was to make each piece of this party personalized to us and we couldn't be happier how it came together.
