Yesterday’s wedding decor becomes today’s home decor
One of my favorite parts of wedding planning was selecting decor for the ceremony and dinner. I had a very specific look in mind, so even though I was working with the teensiest budget, I knew I'd need to purchase most things in order to pull it off. Thankfully, we've got some great thrift stores…

Wedding Album
Good news! I spent countless hours yesterday (really, it was ridiculous) sorting through nearly 700 wedding photos. I was able to carve them down to 165, and I've posted them here for your viewing pleasure! Thanks again to Chelsey Foster Photography and Michael Koch Photo for capturing all of our memories. Your editing and selection of…
Kanthas, peonies and a vintage hankie
Our wedding ceremony was held on the shores of Lake Michigan at Jean Klock Park in Benton Harbor, Michigan. A sand path leads down to the beach – perfect for an aisle! – and from the sand, you can gaze out over the expansive lake and even see the St. Joseph lighthouse. When Bryan and…

Adventures in Wedding Planning: The Headpiece
I won't tell you much about it now, but you guys, my wedding headpiece is beautiful! I ordered it from designer Agnes Hart via her Etsy store. Let me tell you, this headpiece does not feel like something one would casually order online. Agnes crafts all of her veils and headpieces by hand, and the…

I had finally received our save the dates in the mail. I spent a whole evening addressing them and organizing them, and I couldn't wait to send them out and really make the whole "we're getting married!" thing a reality. The next day, I trekked to the post office to mail the cards. I knew…

Here's the movie version of the story: I met a cute, bearded boy at work over three years ago. We started dating, and we fell in love. We moved in together, adopted a second kitten into our little family, and the four of us lived happily. One day, the boy proposed to me in the…
