December 27, 2015 Time to celebrate! WE ARE MARRIED!! The reception is usually my favorite part of every wedding (cake anyone?). It’s where the personalities of the bride & groom are showcased and we aimed to personalize our reception in every way we could. Our entry song was the theme from Star Wars as...
December 27, 2015 Nick & I actually were able to take pictures before the ceremony and we took family pictures in between the ceremony and reception. I included some of my favorites below along with a sampling of the family photos! The dancing pictures and the dip kiss (see above) are my favorites. I...
December 27, 2015 We opted for an afternoon wedding to hopefully capture some daylight before the early winter sunset. Our ceremony was short & sweet. Our pastor is a close family friend who has known me all my life. We had a braiding ceremony instead of a unity candle to symbolize the union of...
December 27, 2015 The big day is finally here. All the planning, waiting, preparing, it’s time for it to all come together. We all met and got ready together at the venue, Rosehill Community Center. I was obsessively checking the weather. Even though the wedding was inside I wanted to be able to take pictures outside...
My second bridal shower was hosted by our dear family friend, Carolyn. She actually was our wedding coordinator as well and none of this would have happened without her. If I can be half as talented and ambitious as she is I would be a very happy woman. She never fails to amaze me...
My first bridal shower was hosted by my bridesmaids. It was a perfect day with the perfect crowd. They even arranged for Nick to be there on Skype (he had just gotten back from a field training so I hadn’t “seen” him in a few days) and we played the newlywed game. We also...
Since I never really posted our engagement photos on social media (we had them done just a day before our legal ceremony), I thought I would share them now! We were able to squeeze in our session during Nick’s short visit up here and we were able to explore some of Snohomish, along the...
Anybody who knows me knows that I’ve been dreaming about this dress ever since I can remember. I have books dedicated to wedding dresses. I watch Say Yes to the Dress more than I’d like to admit. I had extremely high expectations and to be honest, I was worried that I wouldn’t find anything...
Nick and I have a unique story in the sense that we knew each other back when we were growing up; that is how we met. Our parents became good friends as we attended the same church every Sunday. I grew up in that church, even learning how to crawl under and over all the...
Shortly after our engagement, we settled on a venue. We actually went to see it while Nick was still here. The problem? You had to book it a full year in advance. So when April rolled around, we decided to book it and we got first choice of dates (thanks Mom! She stood in line...
