We want the day to be as meaningful as possible and to us that means not conforming to typical wedding norms. We want our wedding to represent US. It has been liberating to think of the possibilities once you realize you don’t have to do what almost everyone else does because they don’t know any different! We are also trying to keep our marriage at the forefront, not just the wedding.

Happily married 🎉

Vows together (in unison)?
Sarah, on August 31, 2018 at 8:40 AM

I was listening to a wedding podcast the other day and the hosts had an officiant/celebrant on who discussed having the couple recite their vows together (at the same time). I think this was in the...

Carat, cut, clarity, or color? Which "C" mattered most to you? 💎
Lynnie, on August 22, 2018 at 2:05 PM

There's a whole lot more that goes into your diamond decision than just the shape! Color, cut, clarity, and carats all play a big part in determining your final jewelry bill. 💰 So - how much did size...

We’re having a violinist do the ceremony music. My MOH thinks we should have a blue tooth speaker because it’s in the middle of the vineyard and may not be loud enough. With that being said there’s...

AQuixoticBride, on August 10, 2018 at 4:59 PM

I know it may seem impossible to part with it when you get it, but is anyone else not wearing your engagement ring after getting married? The last time I wore my engagement ring was the morning of our...

I've been searching the last two weeks for a song my father-in-law and I could dance to-- I'm admitting defeat. Everything I've found is either the mushy 'daddy's little girl' or dangerously borders...
