Wedding Feature


I decided that I think more about posting then I actually do. After the wedding I have been not wanting to do anything, except hang out. But I feel that my creative juices and energy is once again flowing. To my amazing surprise our wedding was featured on the Wedding Chicks website.

It was nice to see all that hard work up on a "real" (as opposed to my "fake" blog). It gave me a little hope that maybe I could give some ideas to other brides who were in the same position as me. And now again, I feel the inspiration. Getting married is a totally awesome, and somewhat horrid experience. The process can be a crazy, stressful, "mess". It does not help it when the prices are jacked up because you are having more than a party, you are have a WEDDING! To me these were the same thing. I believe now that really all you need to create an awesome wedding is a little love, and a few good ideas. My goal in the next week is to do my own write up of the wedding, and all the crafts that went into it. Maybe I can give at least one bride a good idea.

For now though, I am off to drink champagne, while watching my husband and my best friend dork out while play a James Bond game from the 90's. Life is good.

**The adorable cupcake figures from our cupcakes were purchased from http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=348"> samyii's etsy shop. She has some super cute and affordable bride and grooms up now too!

the perfect ending



The wedding is long over. Everything went beyond perfect, which is pretty amazing. Not at all what I expected. Now we are trying to get back to life as normal, or as a married couple. Organizing photos, and guest books, figuring what we are going to do with all the pieces that are left over from our big day. I guess you could say I am taking my time getting back into this mode of things. I am so happy that its all over, said and done with. What a day!

I spent the last 6 months crafting this wedding to "perfection" all the while comparing it to all these other weddings I have seen. Always thinking that ours will be not even compare. But really when it was all said and done, our wedding was awesome. I must say that I am pretty impressed by my wedding planning skills, considering I have never even been in a wedding. The design aspect came out just like I had imagined and it was damn cute if I do say so myself. We created something that was so us. I do not think that is easy to do, and I still revel in the fact that we created this ourselves. And now we have the rest of our lives ahead of us.
