I feel like an equally fitting name for this post would be “mo’ money mo’ problems.” See, there’s a reason I haven’t talked much (at all?) about finances or budget before this post. We had a budget, to be sure, but no matter what number we set, it kept changing, morphing, and growing as we [...]

My first detail recap showed you the people and accessories that gave celebration special warmth and feeling.
Today’s post focuses on some of the details [...]

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 that we wore, made, or [...]

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 quite cold. But the rain [...]

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 to take the stage for [...]

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 a DJ – I’ve [...]

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 digital files at our disposal, [...]

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 pre-ceremony shenanigans), but there are [...]

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 – we simply set our Flathead [...]

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 reception tent, where our delectable [...]
