#WeddingWednesday Amy + Dan 7.26.15

For this #WeddingWednesday we are doing things a bit differently. My husband Dan, wanted to write this post from his point of view. (HOW CUTE IS THAT?!) Here is what he had to say about our day:


“Before the ceremony I felt very excited and nervous (good nervous). I was drinking with my groomsmen on the porch waiting for the ceremony to start.

When the music started playing I felt really excited and happy. I was really curious what Amy’s dress was going to look like, she had been hinting at it being camo for months. That got old fast. When she came out I was very surprised and it was very beautiful. I was extremely glad it wasn’t camo. When Amy was walking towards me I had the biggest grin on my face, and I couldn’t stop smiling, she was so beautiful.

We decided to be unique and write our own vows which was very special to us. During all the excitement and happiness the officiant forgot to have us recite our vows. Luckily enough we reminded him and got to recite our beautiful vows to each other and end it with our signature pinky promise.

Between the ceremony and the reception we took pictures, Amy had the picture set up in a really cool way so she could photoshop some cool things. Example below:

Some cool things about we did at our wedding were Amy made these awesome boutonnieres for my groomsmen and I.

At the reception we had a hand saw to cut our cake with.

We also played the shoe game with a unique twist where we used fatheads instead of each others shoes.

For the reception we walked in to “What is Love” by Haddaway with our heads bobbing like night at the Roxbury movie.

My favorite part of the reception was the first dance with my beautiful wife. Our first dance song was You and I by Michael Buble. We practiced dancing in our hotel room the night before so we could get the spinning down, didn’t want her to trip or fall.

My wife surprised me with a flash mob of the song “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars. I had a hint they were doing that for awhile. It came out very well and I was amazed by their funky dance moves.

The photographers took us in the woods to take some sunset pictures. We had no idea where we were going and it was kinda weird. But, the pictures turned out AWESOME! We did miss some key points while we were in the woods but thankfully we had awesome videographers that caught details like my grandpa dancing. (I have never seen him in my entire life dance).

While we were cutting the cake I forgot about the tradition of shoving cake in each other's face and my wife surprised me and smashed it all over my face. I’m not going to lie I was pretty upset. But I love her.

My wife did a great job and she did a lot of the planning of our reception decorations for the night's festivities. I am very thankful to have her.

Overall it was a beautiful day and I couldn’t have asked for a greater moment in my life. “

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of  Ages Christian Ministries.   Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me.  I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony.  Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancĂ© thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...

#WeddingWednesday Cori + Steven 10-24-15

Our wedding theme was paper airplanes because of a short film my husband and I fell in love with. We also were never huge fans of flowers being the focal point, so using paper was fun and unique to us. It also made wedding planning easier not having to handle real flowers so we could get things done months in advance.  It was in the fall so we did use mini pumpkins for escort cards, and we drilled wholes in big pumpkins and put changing LED lights in them. We had paper airplanes on our cake, my necklace, and even on our bouquets and boutonnieres! Also instead of a book for people to sign, we made paper airplanes to later put in a big shadow box.  One of the easiest parts of our 15 month wedding planning adventure was finding my dress! I had gone to a previous shop but it was more so to have a better idea as to what I actually liked and flattered me the most. So once I got to Bombshell finding my dress was amazingly simple and quick! I think my dress endin...
