The View

Unfortunately the rain compromised the view at times, but some guests were able to get some shots of Mt. Washington and the Presidentials.

A few wedding details

Here are just a few photos of some of the details from our wedding.  I hope Caty got some good takes of these details as well!

15 foot fireplace that we had the ceremony in front of.

Center pieces from my Uncle Peter.  He took three birch logs, drilled some holes for flowers, and then placed them on a piece of maple (I think it's maple).  So perfect, so simple.

Uncle Peter came through again with our cupcake stand... made from birch pieces and plywood it held our delicious cupcakes perfectly.  Jay and I covered the plywood with waterproof maps of the White Mountains using spray adhesive.

Ta-da!

It was important for us to include our family in our day.  Both Jay and I have parents and grandparents who have been married forever... as the picture says... they are our inspiration.

Happy Halloween!

Love,

an 80's rock chick and Lucifer the lawyer

Wedding Tree

When thinking about what to do for a "guest book" at our wedding I knew it had to be something different than just a name in a book.  I wanted our "guest book" to be creative and to have it somehow incorporate something personal from each guest.  When searching the incredible amount of bridal and wedding blogs out there... I found this posting with these examples.

Immediately, I knew, we would do this at our wedding.  So perfect in so many ways.  

I did some googling and found a tree form I liked and began to draw.  I used a large piece of water color paper and a thin, black Sharpie.  I did some cross hatching for texture and even "carved" a J + K in the tree trunk.  We used Color Box ink from Michael's in fall colors.

My mom took this photo as we were setting things up before the ceremony.  Our wedding tree came our better than imagined and looks so fabulous with all of our family and friends' finger prints!  It's being framed as I write this so I'll post a final photo soon!

Speechless

I can't even begin to find words to describe our wedding day.  October 24, 2009 will forever be my most favorite day.  Full of love, laughter, friends, family and tears of joy... I couldn't have asked for anything more.  It was all Jay and I had hoped it would be, and more.

Our Wedding Day

Can you believe that sky?   It poured all day on our wedding day but cleared just enough after the ceremony to give us this amazing backdrop.  This photo was taken by Caty, our amazing photographer.  I can't wait to see the other photos she took of the day!

Wow

Since I last posted so much has happened.  It's been a busy fall... I officially completed grad school and received my diploma... I started my 7th year of teaching... I turned 29... and GOT MARRIED!

Needless to say I have some amazing things to share and will now be posting on a more regular basis.
