Over the past few weeks we’ve received quite a few gifts, due to our recent showers. Pretty much every day I went home, there seemed to be some fun package on our doorstep. I’ve been really overwhelmed at the generosity of our friends and family members!

Then, as I was opening the mail one day, another special package arrived. I don’t think I could have been more excited for a piece of paper. It was the form to reserve our college campus for photos. Just a few weeks ago I had no idea I needed this, and if it wasn’t for the thoughtfulness of a Newport photographer, I never would have known I needed it, and quite possibly could have been kicked off the grounds of the campus on our wedding day during our planned photo session.

I had written a post, awhile back about our college campus. I had said I wanted to do our photos on the campus. A Newport photographer, who we are not a client of, left a comment to let me know of the necessary paperwork needed to rent Ochre Court—which I had no idea we needed! I’m so appreciative she told us, and again I’m in awe of her generosity. She helped the bride of a competitor with nothing to gain. She is also a bride to be, planning her own wedding.

One of my favorite things about Weddingbee is the awesome community. If I hadn’t written that post, and she hadn’t left that comment, who knows if we would have been able to take photos on campus that day. Knowing the security there, I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have been allowed to.

So hive, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your ideas and inspiration, your helpful comments and all of the encouragement!

Has your planning been better due to a comment or post on Weddingbee?
