Amusingly, there has been some debate about wedding desserts between Justin and I. Yes, we will have cake at our wedding! However, we will ALSO likely have pie. We’re hoping to have a 3-tiered cake that serves between 45 and 60 along with about 60 tartlets in different flavors. There will be enough that everyone [...]

I’m considering several different hairstyles at the moment, though what I like depends on the dress I imagine wearing. Originally I was convinced that I would want a classic updo, like a French Twist. But the more photos I saw, the more I worried it would just look too “prom.” So I searched for some [...]

You know, it’s funny… a lot of people have asked us where we’re going for our honeymoon. At 11 months out, we really haven’t decided yet. I don’t even know if we’ll have one because we’ll both have to take time off for travel to Montana before the wedding. At that point in the game, [...]

All right, for those of you who have been dress-stalking me on my other blog, here it is: a post about I’m looking for in a wedding gown. Just FYI, I WON’T be posting photos of myself in any of these dresses. Justin doesn’t want to see me in one before the wedding! (I find [...]

I wrote a bit about our venue below, before I’d finished editing photos I took at this year’s Aurorafest in Polebridge. Please visit my gallery of Polebridge pictures to get a better feel of the little town in which we’ll be married. Like I said, it’s a little rough around the edges… sort of a [...]

Some eager guests have already asked us where they should make reservations for the wedding. Lake McDonald Lodge is the most convenient option and will likely be where the majority of the wedding guests and wedding party stay. It is only 1/2 mile from the Speyer cabin in Glacier National Park, and about 1/2 hour [...]

Justin has visited Glacier National Park since he was a child. His family owns property inside the park on Lake McDonald, the lake you can see on the weather page webcam image. We visited Glacier during our first few months as a couple, and have gone for one week each summer since. Our friends Rachel [...]

It’s no secret that we’re getting married… But what you may not know is how we got to this point. There’s a little background on the about page, but I thought it would be best to share the story of our engagement, originally posted on my personal blog on 9/13/06:
At the time we got engaged, [...]

Why a wedding blog? Well in this day and age, it should seem obvious! First and foremost, there are so many little details to plan, and people keep asking us about them, so what better way than writing a blog to track all the information in one place. Secondly, we realize we’re asking a lot [...]
