Planning the wedding took a lot of work. If I could go back in time, I think I would hire a full-time planner because it might have saved some money in the long-run and a lot of stress. At the same time, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Although I didn't actually spend Christmas day in Nashville — I went home to Los Angeles to be with my family and do other fun things — I did do a lot of fun and great things in the Nashville area leading up to it! And I thought I'd share if you're in the mood or starting to plan all those holiday festivities.

Here's the breakdown:

• Lipton Lights (my personal favorite)
• Chad's Winter Wonderland in Lebanon, TN
• Opryland Hotel Christmas — ICE, Christmas lights, a musical number at Grand Ole Opry
• Dancing Lights of Christmas at Jellystone Park

I'm hoping to continue to add more as the season progresses. So look out ;)
