Wedding Date on Apr 20, 2018

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WEDDING DAY MEMORY? So many it’s hard to choose. I think it would have to be our ceremony. We had it outside of our venue. My brother-in-law was our officiant so it was very personal to Joe and I. We had not heard any of the speech beforehand, so it was as a much of a surprise to us as it was to our guests. He had everyone laughing throughout most of it and some people even commented that it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been a part of. We didn’t do things very “traditional” and it was much more laid back than the typical ceremony so maybe that’s why people enjoyed it so much. WHAT DID YOU DIY FOR YOUR WEDDING? Designed our invitation suite + envelopes, all the wedding signs, posters and corn hole boards. Hand wrote our escort cards on seashells that I bought on Etsy. Put together the table decorations {bought paper flowers and table numbers on Etsy, and other miscellaneous items from Hobby Lobby}. Made the groom and groomsman boutonniere’s from left over paper flowers, twine and driftwood and hand punched confetti with my now husband! DID YOU HAVE A SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED OR BLUE? We didn’t do very traditional things. I didn’t wear something “old”, but we had a table with all of our grandparents and parents pictures on their wedding days. I had a lot of “new” things: my wedding dress, necklace, veil, etc. I got the idea for wearing Sperry’s from my mom, so I guess the concept is “borrowed”. She wore white sneakers on her wedding day in 1973. We both hate heels and prefer to be comfortable! I am short, measuring at just about 5′ 3″ but I didn’t want to be in pain on one of the biggest days of our lives.
