In December 2007 at Temple in Providence, RI at one of Kristin Spencer's get-togethers with future brides she asked us about blogging for the soon-to-launch chattybrides website. I recall thinking to myself 'how does one blog?' and heard myself saying SURE what a great way to get me going on my wedding planning :)
Being a Chattybride is an excellent experience. The community tone is welcoming, open, and motivating! It kept me in-line with accomplishing my DIY projects and adding these details to our wedding was WORTH it! Compliments were openly given to us and without even saying a thing KRISTIN captured ALL of our details.
Enough of me rambling. Geesh. Here's some pictures from our Wedding Ceremony. It was SOO fun seeing our guests' faces as Dad and I walked down the aisle and then on our last curve to see Ryan's GLEAMING face!
A little picture of the custom boutonnières we had Myra Kim of Twiggs & Honey on ETSY make for us:
I was stunned as soon as I saw the LUSH rose petal aisle, the black chairs, and the little black felt bags with Pom-pom handles and grosgrain ribbon embellishments that mom and I sewed to hold our hand-made Ceremony programs and Ribbon wands.
Such a cherishing moment to walk down the aisle with my Dad.
Love Mr. HJT's smile!!!! This was the moment we first saw each other!!! I still feel glitter running through my veins!
We couldn't stop smiling or holding each other's hands.
This is the beginning of our Honey Ceremony. Mr. HJT had fun swirling his pinky finger in the honey LOL.
First time our groomsmen (Mr. HJT's brother as seen this)!
Mr. HJT's brother became a tiny bit more comfortable with his second viewing :)
YES! We are husband and wife! ... or as we NOW sometimes introduce each other... 'This is my ex-boyfriend!' or 'This is my ex-girlfriend!' .. ;)
Tag you're it- See my blog for more details.
