We are Married Now

Marriage is great! I'll return shortly to expound!

weDDing weDnesDays :)

wow, it's been a whole week since i posted last. but it's been a busy week: {our} engagement party, one of my best friend's {adrienne} bachelorette shower/party, dave barnes & drew&ellie holcombe concert {yayyyyy!}, and wrapping Christmas presents {double yayyyy!}

 

But, you're probably thinking, "get on with the wedding inspiration! i'm bursting at the seams!" Well, okay, if you insist :)

i want eric and i to wear these buttons on our wedding day. they're so cute!!

here's something else for eric to wear on our wedding day:

wool socks! for his cold feet! hehe, so cute. you can even get the link to buy the pdf for the label here. the label says: "cold weather and warm hearts...for your potentially cold feet....from your loving bride"

this is a beautiful and rather unique cake. so many cakes are too similar these days, i want something kind of different, but still pretty, like this:

i think these cards are just awesome. i want to use them at one of my bridal showers {hint, hint to anyone who may be reading this and will play a role in planning those showers!!}

 

oh and you can go here to download this pdf and use them yourself!! there are even 2 more options for the color pattern on the border :)

and for my final gift of inspiration to you today, how about a little do-it-yourself, eh? i absolutely love these save the dates and this is not the first time i've come across them! so excited to find them again and i plan to work on making these over christmas break. {p.s. this will require a little help from any photog friends out there...any volunteers?}

{p.p.s you aren't a real crafty bride until you've devoured all of martha stewart's weddings website. go on 'head girl and check it out! http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/}

that's all for now. once i get better with this whole "blogging" thing, i'll give you more than just 5 trinkets of inspiration. but until then, so long!

wedding wednesday :)

here we are. time for some wedding inspiration. whether you're single and still praying for your future husband, engaged and dying to be married, or married and still looking at your wedding pictures because you love them so much, i hope these photos will inspire something in you. maybe some creativity? maybe some ideas for friends' weddings? maybe some jealousy over these beautiful weddings and wedding trinkets? maybe. 

how about this lovely photo?

 

this fabric-flower bouquet?

these sweet signs?

these gorgeous invitations? 

{p.s. why does letterpress have to be so expensive?!}

i really want to buy this sign and put it up somewhere at our wedding.

well, i think that's all for this week. 

what did you think? any wedding ideas for us?

"our" first post

welcome to "our" new blog.

we're going to have lots of fun around here and we're excited that you want to be a part of it! while i {katie} might write about wedding stuff a lot, this won't be a "wedding" blog. promise! we'll both try to write about lots of different stuff.

but first, we'll catch everyone up real quick:
engaged on November 20, 2010.
{getting} married on May 6, 2011.

wondering what you should look out for on our bloggie?
well how about wedding wednesdays?!?!
that's right. in an effort to establish yet another outlet for my creativity, i {katie} will be doing a weekly post on wednesdays where i'll post inspiration from/for weddings. tomorrow will be my first one ever {and this is my first blog ever} so no judging. just say that you liked it :)

for you guys out there {do guys read blogs? i don't know}, we'll try to write some stuff that you might want to read, too {not promising anything, though}.

Assignment 1: Self Portrait

Last Day

Today was our last day at the orphanage, and it was a long and very interesting day! I spent the day in sections where God was seemingly doing all of these very different things that each brought their own individual emotions.

As I sit here amongst friends, I think about how most of the people around me I would not have considered friends when we left Atlanta. I did not think that I would connect with some of these people like I did, and for that I am thankful! Tonight a friend who I've met several times tonight let our small group into a part of her life that very few people have ever gotten to step into. I know it was hard, and I know it was scary, AND I know that she didn't have to do it... in fact it would have been easier to not say anything, but she did and God stirred His affection for her in her brokenness inside of all of us, and in that moment she became relieved, if only for a moment.

It has been in the last couple of years, and more so recently, that I've started to be awakened to the harsh reality that people have, but never talk about. I mean my life has been no walk through the park, but you learn to cope and deal, really until it's almost no big deal anymore. So for me, I never realized that people have screwed up lives like I did, and it's really freeing to hear someone bare their harsh reality...to hear someone just drop what people will think, say, or do and just lay it out their because they have nothing else to do with it, fore they know that it's poisonous on the inside and must be relieved, lest it rot them away from the inside out. God bless you if you read this.

Here are a couple of pics, hope you like!
