We had a budget, to be sure, but no matter what number we set, it kept changing, ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=262 Well, folks, this is it... the last photo recap of our wedding. Next, I’ll share with you our budget breakdown, and then it’s on to our Zihuatanejo honeymoon. After that, who knows! My first detail recap showed you the people and accessories that gave celebration special warmth and feeling. Today’s post focuses ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=261 Today I'm delighted to share with you the first of two detail-oriented recap posts. These are sort of like recaps of the recap - focused on all the outfits, accessories, DIY projects, decorations, and edible/drinkable pieces of our wedding. Many of you have asked me questions about specific things ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=260 After our bouquet and garter tosses, the Good Wood Band again took the stage for the second half of their three-hour set. By this time it was very dark - the kind of pitch blackness you can only experience on a cloudy night in the middle of nowhere - and ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=259 In my last post, I introduced you to our bluegrass band, Good Wood. In my next post, I'll let you hear some of their music and detail the craziness at the end of the evening. But now, as the band is taking a break between sets, it's time for us ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=258 Besides our ceremony, the thing I was most looking forward to on our wedding day was the music and dancing. From the beginning, I knew that I wanted to hire a band to play live. It's not that I was all that adverse to an iPod reception or even to ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=257 Today I'll be sharing more great portraiture from our fabulous wedding photographer, Nicole of Piknik Studios. In my last post, I showed you our individual portraits. This post will showcase the portraits Nicole took of our friends and family, which make excellent, frameable keepsakes for us and for them. With full-resolution ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=256 Gather 'round, gals & guys, because I have a feeling you're gonna love this recap. Today's post is chock-full of gorgeous, close-up portrait photography taken by Nicole Tavenner of Piknik Studios. I've peppered some of my previous recaps with a few of these photos (particularly getting ready, the bus ride, and ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=255 During dessert, we invited our guests to witness our license signing. So, as they sipped on french-pressed coffee and savored the baked goods, we called them to gather round, and then we took one of the final steps toward making our marriage official. There was no real ceremony to it - ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=254 After a delicious dinner and wonderful toasts, we slipped momentarily away for some private portraits, some of which you saw earlier, and more of which I will show you later. (As luck would have it, the pouring rain stopped just as we finished eating!) Then, we hurried back to the ... http://speyerwedding.com/wordpress/?p=253
