I had been looking forward to this past weekend for months, seriously. Which might be kind of lame seeing as how it was the wedding of my boyfriend’s sister and I had no real purpose or role in the whole process, but I seem to get off on wedding planning so I was raring to go.
The whole thing was beautiful of course, but what really made it amazing was the supremely awesome, anal-retentive, and insanely detail oriented abilities of the bride. She made so much by hand, but in a super professional manner, that she could honestly go into business doing the invitations, menus, favor packaging and every other color coordinated detail that one could imagine. In fact, she’s seriously thinking about starting herself up soon. Even besides all that though it was perfect and the final event went off with out any real hitch.
I did not catch the bouquet, which I suppose means that my streak is officially over, but I did manage to jump and (partially) land on a small child in my attempt to do so. I do believe that the videographer caught the whole thing too, I may have to finagle a way to post that someday.
Then we got back yesterday only for John to bring in the mail which most notably contained my acceptance letter to OSU, I literally jumped up and down and squealed like an excited little girl, so I guess you can say that I’m happy.
But here are some pictures of said items made by the bride just for funsies:
Just some of Kristy's creations.
She made the invitations, save the dates, menus for both the rehersal and wedding dinners, placecards for both dinners who’s colors complemented the menus to indicate which meal we received, as well as wedding day timelines for the wedding party, a seperate one for the guys and girls, with everyone’s numbers on them. Not to mention the really amazing programs that I unfortuantly don’t have with me. Crazy huh?
She also assembeled all the favors, put together dozens of “out of town baskets” for each person staying in a hotel, as well as the most elaborate necessity basket (a different one for men’s and women’s naturally) with everything that anyone could ever possibly need. In short, she was amazing, and whether she actually goes into business or not I am going to hire her for my wedding.
The boy and I
One last note, what do you ladies think of my dress? As in, don’t you think it would look super adorable on everyone as a bridesmaids dress for my future wedding?
Oh my GOD congratulations, friend Lia…. You’re in the big 10 now, babe. THE Ohio State University! Awesome, so proud!
Does that make us rivals now? I’ll still always hold a candle for Bucky.
I’m am really proud of you. That’s great that you are a Poisonous Nut. And that IS a really great dress.
What is a Buckeye? It’s a poisonous nut.
And I distinctly remember your hatred of the chaos surrounding OSU sports and I can’t *wait* until you finally end up loving it. Congrats, friend!
And I think I already mentioned it on FB but I really do love the dress. I think it would be really flattering on everyone.
