Wedding Blog
It’s true. If you are in Northern California, the rain on Friday was pouring! We had to be begged to come out through tears and the possibility of rain cancellation, traffic, heavy rain… probably the most convincing part was listening to our coordinator roll around on the lawn to prove that if we had mats and blankets, the rain wouldn’t soak through, so we COULD have our lawn games.
Well, that and Mr. GB bought me these to cheer me up:
After two hours of driving and frustration, we arrived as the rain was stopping. We unpacked, decompressed, then headed to our hotel with four of our friends to begin the last minute cookie crafting. I love them. After several hours with some of my favorite people, we were rolling around on the ground in good spirits, knowing that even if it poured, at least we’d have been talking about the two momo’s (that’s our loving nickname for our mormon friends) competition of bow tying cookies faster than the 4 of us combined!!!! After threats and growling, we had 400 cookies wrapped and ready to go!
So how did it end up? Well, we don’t have our professional photos for another two months, but we have proof from a few snaps here and there.
With that… what do you want to hear about during that 2 months of waiting for my real photos? I don’t want to dry up into a shriveled blogless prune for two months! Is there anything you’d like to hear about the planning that I didn’t cover that you’ve been DYING to know about? Or details about the day? Or about my WILD adventure with two manicures in a day?!
Or should I just stuff a sock in it?

i am waiting for your photos almost as impatiently as you are!! i really can’t wait to see how all your beautiful+creative ideas came together!
These photos look so fun! I’d love to see how it all came together..even without any pro-pictures… oh, congrats by the way Mrs. Gummibear!
Ooo! Ooo! FI and I want to know how the GBA/PSP gaming rounds went. Did people synch up? Did it work? We’ve been toying with a similar idea for our combined bachelor/ette party. 
Congrats again!
You always make me laugh Mrs. GB… seriously. I love that anecdote of everyone rolling around on the grass!
I can’t wait to see more pics!
I want to hear all about your day, your 2 manicures(?), everything lol. Congrats!!!
Do share more. What happened to the first round of painted nails?? I love all the umbrellas! How did you feel surrounded by all that love? And the games? How were the games. Mr. Onion bought a DS over a year ago and his best friend and his wife were so excited by it they went out and each bought one of their own so now all three of them can play. I might just have to get in on the action 
I am also waiting for my pro-pics (6-8 weeks…I’m down to 2-4) but couldn’t wait so I’ve posted with lots of non-pro pics in the mean time. Do that — it’s more fun!
your wedding looks great!
Did you end up doing anything korean on your wedding (eg. letting your parents throw nuts at you…etc)? And yes - tell us more on the details of your day!
Congrats Mrs. GB. Yay! I can’t wait for all the photos either. Where did you get the blankets and pillow you used on the grass. Are those the cushions you made? So awesome. Share all. I love your posts.
Gorgeous pictures! It looks very pastoral and romantic
Yes, please share more! I want to know…
What you would have done differently/What you did right/The bad stuff/The good stuff (similar to Mrs. Bee’s posts back in March 2005)
And I’m just a imagining your coordinator rolling around on the ground….hahahaha.
Oh, and did you get an online gallery for your pics?
It looks like it turned out lovely.
Those boots are so cute! Where did Mr. GB get them?
Congrats-I’m dying to hear more about your day and how the games part went(i’m thinking of stealing that). Also, some vendor reviews?
I am so glad that it went well! I can’t wait to see more photos, but you have some really beautiful ones here. It kind of reminds me of Jane Austen, with picnics on the lawn. Looking at that sunshine, I can’t believe that it was pouring the day before!
I Love it all. Do you know where the boots are from? I am having a fall rainy wedding and I am in need of some cute boots.
So pretty! And i love the boots! May i ask where your husband found them?
I want to know where your cute boots are from, about your 2 manicures and most importanlty about your day!!! Shucks, you could blog about reading the phone book and we’d read it!!!
oh gosh, the boots! They’re Kate Spade Wellies! If you order them online, know that they run large! I’m a size 6.5 (leaning more towards a 6 than a 7 if in whole sizes) and I bought size 5!! Anyway, they’re all muddy and awesome from Friday squicking in the mud. Call around, they were sold out in smaller sizes all over SF, but we got a pair shipped from LA overnight!
I’ll definitely write about my manicure disaster and some vendor reviews when we iron out those… err hiccups. Although, I may have to post a flower review without pro photos because I have been dying to talk about it, but haven’t had a chance to!
Mrs Onion: I guess 2 months is standard, but it hadn’t occurred to me how agonizing the wait would be! I’m planning on mini-trips to keep me occupied… and homewares shopping. retail therapy.
i’d love to know how the games went. from the pictures it looked like y’all had a swell time!
I would love to see the bride and groom! There must be pictures that someone else took
You were SO SO SO Lucky with the weather! I’m sure god would have not appreciated your wrath had it rained on Sat. hahaha. But seriously, I was on the 101 on Friday, Hydroplaned, and almost killed myself and my FILs…that wouldnt have gone over well. Right after i realized that I was still alive, I thought of you and the horrendous weather.
Give us more pictures. something. ANYTHING.
in the mean time, how about more pics of your awesome home?
I love reading your posts, I don’t care what they are about!! We’re in Northern Cali too, Humboldt County, and it’s crazy rain here. I would love to see any pictures that anyone took–they don’t have to be professionals!!
Here’s something funny: I had a MoMoh at my wedding. Mormon Maid of Honor. She was very pleased with her title!
Whew…glad everything went great. It looks beautiful, so green and fresh. I love after-rain weather. You gotta share all the details. Love your cute boots too. Congrats!!!
omg… your wedding is my dream come true! i want to see more photos of you in your dress. the teaser photo looks so gorgeous!
my house! it’s such a mess I couldn’t post photos. 
The games, I need a photo of everyone playing. People were up and blaying the lawn games, crowding onto blankets to play board games, and all through the meal people were popping our their DS for a little mario kart/tetris/zelda action between courses. As an alternative to dancing? It was A+
are your centerpieces cherry blossom branches? Would you happen to have more pix of them? Thanks!
btw, i live in norcal..near lakeshore actually. it was pouring!! But i’m glad it all worked out for you
hi! nope, they’re just regular branches - we put the flowers on them. We don’t have more pictures yet, sorry, I hope the professional photos have some good ones!
You can drive by my house all creepy and throw gummibears at the windows. “I know where you live….”
HAHA.. maybe i’ll stop by on halloween.. muahahahaha.. >_<
That’s a great idea with the use of branches. May I ask what kind of flowers you used? Looking forward to seeing more photos. Thanks!
you can blog about your presents and thank you cards! and of course, post as many non-pro photos as you can get your hands on so we can see how your details turned out!
also, i’m not sure what dress you ended up with, after all the indecision. and what solution did you go with for dealing with/avoiding the BC situation?
I LOVE the KS Wellies - I was thinking about getting them myself!!
Your wedding looks GORGEOUS
