I've been trying to find the right words to sum up my experience with this darling couple...planning their ceremony & on their glorious day...I haven't found those words yet...so for now here's a hint at how cool they are...the bride happily walked down the grassy aisle to this song that her groom chose....

A Wedding is NOT.....

I found a gem whilst revisiting the website of  The Spirit House Restaurant.
"A wedding is not a military operation of precision and timing-it's about people coming together and having fun"...I love their attitude.
I also LOVE the restaurant-my husband and I have been going there for 13 years (& we had our wedding dinner there) we've ALWAYS been overwhelmingly delighted by the food, the ambiance, the service-it's a magical place and I highly recommend it-I'd LOVE to marry some people there one day...

Make it your Own

Last week I shared my responses to questions asked by the Enchanted Empire Gals.
One aspect of Wedding Ceremonies that I mentioned & am quite crazily passionate about is making the ceremony a true and authentic reflection of who you are as individuals and a couple. "Off beat Bride" then featured this wedding where the girls made up their own wedding ritual that looked pretty and was meaningful to them....AWESOME!!!


"We loved the idea of incorporating the concept of eternity, and we'd tossed around the idea of a handfasting, but we ended up crafting our own ritual (after a few glasses of wine while working on our ceremony). All the guests came forward, picked flowers out of a vase, and laid them in two conjoined circles around us, making an eternity symbol. We placed this about halfway through the ceremony, so we stood in the circles through the rest.
