I and DH are married since 1998. I was pregnant at 17, he was 22. We had lunch with a hand full family members and friends. It obviously wasn’t easy marriage. We didn’t get help from anyone in any form. My mom and sis did help taking care of our very active 2 yo son when our daughter was born. While he continued finishing his PhD and working, I took care of household and the kids. We had a very rough path now and then. I left him a couple years ago. We both were not happy while separated. After he took some therapy, he realized his past possessive and over controlling behavior, so I am giving him another chance. We took it slow, dated again, and he proposed again, twice within a year. So, we are renewing our vow in July.
We both save to travel. We have been to 35 countries so far. We had many weeks long road trips. We are hard core backpackers and campers. Airplane, train, car, ship, you name it. Always traveled with our baby(ies) or kids.
I relate beauty and the beast to our love story, so I bought that cake topper. I accidentally saw DH ordering a da Vinci code cryptic ring box, so I know he is putting that movie element too. I love the Labyrinth, so I will ask my hair artist to somewhat do similar hairstyle. We are getting married on the beach. One of the location where Lost was filmed. So, there are random movie elements in our wedding.
Now I am looking for a few props or signage to add to our photo shoot, and I just have one so far. We are going to make a long paper scroll, write names of the countries we’ve visited, and will ask the photographer to take the end of the roll where I probably write “... and the adventures continues.” I also am taking my crystal ball with me and ask to be photographed through it (labyrinth). I am thinking for a sign or item to hold together. Maybe a sign, a seashell heart wreath, or.... I don’t know.
What else is a good prop to add to our photo shoot?
Thank you in advance!
