Since we aren’t having dancing, I thought we’d need something fun to do at our backyard wedding. We absolutely did not have a budget for a photobooth but we did have money for a fauxtobooth! We’re not builders but luckily for us, Mrs. Pin Cushion is! We ordered one from her Etsy store!

We used P.C.’s post as a guide…

…and it took less than 10 minutes! Result!

We work with what we’ve got in the Glasses household, and what we’ve got is Photobooth on my MacBook. We set it up on a table with a basket of props from the 100 yen dollar store; right now is a great time to buy, as there are tons of cheap “costumes”. We bought a clown wig, a pirate hook and eye patch, fun sunglasses—things like that!

We also put together an 8 foot arch, which will be decorated with pink and white David Austin roses and lit up at night. We used a coupon…and seriously? It was $25 at Michaels! Score!

While we were putting up stuff, we noticed something watching us. Mr. G is great at befriending wild animals (he once told a turtle to get off the road and it listened!) and this little guy got closer and closer until…

We’re calling him Buddy and hoping he shows up at the wedding. He obviously isn’t shy!

We had another productive day but you guys, I CRIED! I am NOT a crier. I went on an insane rampage in the garden, deciding that the back corner was hideous and started pulling out weeds left and right. I got so frustrated and so worried about the state of the garden that I started crying. I never, ever thought I’d cry but I’ve been in a glass box of emotion this whole week. The lawn still looks…well, fug, but I’ve thought of the perfect solution! You’ll see soon!

Have you had emotional moments that have surprised you while you’ve been planning?
