Happy Anniversary Erica and Jimmy!

Erica and Jimmy said "I do" one year ago today! Their wedding day was an absolute dream. Not only does Erica have gorgeous taste, but she has the most genuine heart. She chose such lovely details for her day and both her and Jimmy were an absolute JOY to work with. 

Happy Anniversary you two! I hope that the best is yet to come!

Any big plans to celebrate your anniversary?

We are planning on sleeping in, spending the day outside on the trails then going to our favorite restaurant in Columbia, CC’s City Broiler and eating our cake topper for dessert!

Erica, what is one thing you learned about your new husband this year?

I have learned that Jimmy makes mean oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies. But more importantly, I have learned that he is more selfless than I ever realized and really is such a caring husband to me and puppy-daddy to our sweet puppy, Franklin!

Jimmy, what is one thing you learned about your new wife this year?

I’ve learned about Erica’s huge heart. Before we were married, we only saw each other on the weekends. Being with her everyday I’ve been able experience how much she cares and is willing to sacrifice for her family, friends, and patients.

Do you have any advice for those planning a wedding/marriage now?

One of our favorite things about our wedding day was the mere fact that all of the people we love in this world were all in the same place, celebrating us! We made sure to enjoy every moment of the day and therefore we really didn’t notice or care to notice any mishaps. The details of the day are so much fun to put together and help set the scene, but what it comes down to is celebrating the beginning of something so wonderful!

Looking back, do you have anything you would do differently on your own wedding day?

We wish we could have added more hours to the day. We wish we could have spent even more time with our individual loved ones before leaving on our honeymoon. We were just so grateful everyone was therefor us! It went by too fast.

What is one of your best memories from your past year as newlyweds?

There are so many! Probably our favorites are moving into our house, living in the same city for the first time and adopting our puppy, Franklin! We used to dread Sundays because it meant saying goodbye. Now it’s a sleepover every night!

What do you have planned for the future?

I, (Erica) am getting ready to enter into my second year of residency in Ophthalmology and Jimmy is working hard in his law firm. We will be staying in Columbia, MO for the next 3 years while I finish residency. We also hope to do one last fun trip abroad before then! We hope to start a family in the next couple of years, and until then we are getting good practice with Franklin.
