i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) e.e. cummings
 
 
 
Location Location I snagged these photos from the beautiful bio of Beachbride2... She had her wedding there, and these pics sold me on the JBC. *not pictured* Best Man, Tom GM, Fuji GM, Tim Wedding Attire more to come... Going to pick a designer and color range (like blue duponi silk, below) for the maids, with matching shoes. ? ? ? and now...family photos! ? ? ? ? ? ? Me and the Fi Sophie the dog Madzilla (Maddie) basks in the sun. More pictures of my cute FH! us on halloween those dogs are relaxed! ? ? ? me and the ring! The wedding Party! ? toasting flutes ? We’re going to go with the drink stirs to the right as our place cards, in our signature drink, but the candles are another idea I really liked. ? ? ? the cake ? the miscellaneous FG dress I love. the bouquet ? out of town bags ? That’s, clockwise from left, MOH Sara (saraem!), me, BM Randi, Me again, BM Lindsey w/ Fi, FBIL/GM PEp, FSIL/BM Maeg, FG (my niece!) Eva, w/ GM/BIL Todd, then MOH Rachel, Me, and MOH/Sister Marissa (with my hound dog.) ...a work in progress... lighting ? other details ? ? ? If there is one thing I love - it’s a great deal. If there are two things I love, it’s winning and a great deal. So buying my dream dress under competitive circumstances for a great deal is like...well...my dream! my boy... his boys... table decor? Rather than disposable cameras, I want to take the opportunity to utilize some of our guests creative talents, so we’re going to put Lomographic cameras on the tables for everyone to play around with. To the left are some samples of what we might end up with... (the bride is the beautiful Saraem at her most recent fitting!) Similarly, in lieu of a traditional wedding video, we’re also going to put old super 8 movie cameras out, and let our guests document the night for us. A friend will videotape the key moments (ceremony, speeches, first dance) and when the celebration is over, we’ll develop and transfer the film and put it all together to create our wedding video! (Don’t worry, the cameras are automatic point and shoot, anyone can handle them!) just for fun... guest photo booth ? that’s us at the prom! ? ?

then & now our colors! my dress! the diy files The first wedding project I am attempting are the paper flowers/aisle decor. The pastel ones are Martha’s, and what I hope to achieve, and the green one is my first attempt with neon tissue paper I had in the house. Not quite there yet. Our DIY save the dates. The wonderful JJStar was kind enough to send me her vintage postcard after a desperate ISO post I made. This is the end result. The back is the actual postcard back complete with “the mild climate of Santa Monica...” and our wedding website. In addition to our save the dates, I’m also designing our invitation and wedding stationary (to be a mix of offset printing and letterpress.) Fingers crossed that we get reasonable quotes! I got really jealous of this Erin Cole birdcage-esque veil that my photog had on her blog, and I could never afford, so I went to Joanne’s and bought them out of ivory tulle (only about 2.5 yards) to try my hand at veil making. I made two in about 30 mins, and the results are to the left. I think with a little more practice (like the flowers) I’ll be able to come up with something usable. (Don’t I look enthusiastic? I can’t help it, my face automatically distorts when in front of the camera. It’s a curse.) more to come...
