Ideas for personalizing the wedding

You could have a wedding photo display like a folding room divider or book case. You may not need much at all except for maybe a frame at the top or in the middle saying something to the effect of, " Rikki & (Fiancé's Name) throughout the years..." and then just have the photos in chronological order. You can maybe find a nice template to use to personalize the sign from Etsy or Zazzle. Sometimes just letting the pictures speak for themselves is all you need...and it will lead to conversations between you and the guests.

To express that your relationship milestones have felt out of order, you could number your reception tables, but incorporate one event into each table (first date at one table, buying a house at another, getting engaged at another, etc). You could list your relationship milestones in the order they occured, and then match them up with the table number. Your centerpieces could be themed to each event - such as, incorporating keys for the "moved in together" or "bought a house together" milestone. You could also add photos to each table that are related to that milestone.

I know someone who put up photos of different times through out their dating to share their story til their wedding with others.
