Alrighty ladies.... This is going to be both picture- and word heavy. But I'll try to keep it separate for those who chose not to read- do not have to.

    I can't even.....(and usually I wouldn't comment, but you mentioned me first, so it's on you.... lol....)

    I love, love, love, love intimate, opinionated weddings, and I have to say this was one of my all time faves. Every stroke of the pen felt like it was truly yours, and every moment was personal and gorgeous.

    I would suggest to every couple who is thinking they have to have 200 people they barely know, that they have to have a giant, vanilla party.....look at this post over and over and over. Look and take notice.

    Because small is gorgeous. Cut the list, hire the photographer, the venue, the officiant (hey, you knew that was coming, right?) that works for you and leave those distant cousins off the list. Because this is what happens when you choose what matters to you. You have a fabulous, stylish, gorgeous, meaningful wedding with the people who mean the most to you.

    Jo? It was an honor to be part of your day. Big smushie hugs to you both, and those cats and dog too!!!

    First off, I L.O.V.E your pictures! you look absolutely stunning.. breathtaking? there are no words.

    Your hair and makeup is flawless!

    Secondly, #teamsmallwedding.. how many people did you have? i read the part where you told us that with 30 people it made it easier.. was that your whole guest list? if so, I envy you.

    lastly, I love your details about how you missed part of the poem because you were distracted and celia brought you back to earth. I feel like I will end up doing the same thing, my brain will be elsewhere. So thanks for pointing that out so I can actually make an effort to pay attention and be mentally present at my own wedding.

    I need to post these three together- because this is my best friend ever- we should have been married honestly- she's amazing. I love her to death. If I *had* a maid of honor- she would have been it.

    She's also in the military- so I knew that would stress her the fuck out- but she's there for me no matter what.

    Emotionally- as I type this- I received this set of pictures the night she got orders to ship out to I don't know where... I was able to send them to her before she left- #tearsfordays

    I'd die without her. Next to hubby she's the best part of my life.

    Also- side note commentary- she magically isn't "standing me up" or "outshinging me" on the day of my own wedding. where we both happen to be wearing STUNNING black gowns- I wish I had gotten a picture of her in this thing- you can see the fucking mesh- she looked fucking amazing. I do regret that. Just- stunning. all the feels. #bestielove

    So- I realize going through all my pictures- these feel MILDLY vain- because there are a fuck load of me... and not many of him. So- that's not because I'm totally vain and just pictured pictures of me- but really he hates being in pictures- where as I love it- and he likes them- so there is a definite "ham vs not ham" ratio of pictures. #sorrynotsorry

    We are coming back down stairs after taking a few minutes- and I looked back at him.

    I adore this picture. Because- yes- that's my husband and that's how I much I love him.

    This was my friend taking a call from his wife- the shot was just stunning- so I had him go back and Pixie take a picture. The ballroom at that hour was magical.

    I can't remember what this was- oh yeah- my cakes.

    Go Team Nerd and Doctor Who.

    Oh FFS- I realize none of these are in order- I'm going through a special folder- they aren't in order.

    Sorry- but whatever.

    More AM shots.

    This room with all the lightbulbs- you may recognize as a room from an Alice and Chains video. Yes- we were there. #stunning

    This is why I did everything I did- these pictures. Because- omgrd- slayed my life she did.

    This picture is particularly special.

    I invited my aunt and my uncle.

    And I didn't tell my mom about it. As a surprise.

    this is the moment when my dad let my aunt in and didn't warn anyone and the shot my photographer captured.

    Just. oh my heart- I was so happy I could do this for my mom- despite all the dress and fucking bull shit- I knew this moment would totally be worth it. And it was.
