The portraits finished with fifteen minutes to go before the wedding ceremony(!!!). Mr. Spaniel grabbed the ketubah, and we were off to sign our lives away!

I love how excited we look here.

The ketubah was not in our original budget, but it was worth every penny: our framer/officiant framed it for us right after the wedding, and I love looking at it on our wall.

While we promised to love and respect each other in writing, our guests were doing some signing of their own.

I’d planned to print a guestbook from our engagement pictures, but I panicked and asked Meg to print one for us instead. It’s another favorite wedding keepsake of ours!

To make sure our guests knew that it was a guestbook and not just a collection of pretty pictures, we made sure to include some helpful signage. To do so, we pulled more mileage out of our invitation proofs, as I used the fancy “baroque” frame around the invitations to frame a cute little guestbook poem I found online (I didn’t think of blogging about this when I did it, so I didn’t save the source… sorry!).

We thought this photobook

would make a great souvenir

So if you have a wedding message,

please write it in here

Some words of wisdom,

encouragement, or a joke

A poem, a drawing, an anecdote

We’ll look through it fondly

in years to come

So thanks for making

this book a special one!

We printed it out on a piece of cardstock, cut it down to 5×7″, and put it in an inexpensive acrylic frame from Target.

This was probably unnecessary, but I was all about last minute projects (and I have a few more to show you before I’m done here!).

All photos by the astounding Meg Perotti, unless otherwise noted.
