Mrs. Knitting's Picture
Mrs. Knitting, Toronto Age and Occupation: 24, Student Recruitment Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Neuroscience PhD Candidate Engagement Date: October 2009 Wedding Date: December 2010 Venue: University of Toronto Faculty Club About Me: I'm a pearl wearing, etiquette book reading Toronto girl who loves cooking and baking, museums, charm bracelets, and collecting books on Jackie Kennedy (a lot). I've been known to spend Sunday mornings at the antique market, Wednesday evenings at sister sushi dinners, and any bit of spare time reading. After six and a half years of many late night walks, watching DVDs together in bed, travelling to places like New York, and Tobermory, doing Sudokus together on the couch, lots of Indian food, the occasional yoga class, moving in together and so much more, Mr. Knitting and I are planning a cozy Christmasy (it's a word!), vintage wedding in Toronto complete with many DIY projects (eek!) and lots of help from our amazing group of family and friends.
About Mrs. Knitting

After Mr. Knitting and I were down eating some appetizers, we headed downstairs to be with our guests and to have some drinks (amaretto sour for me!).

Mr. K spent some time with his high school friends:

Our guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers:

My little sis and godmother enjoyed some sweet potato fries in adorable containers:

At one point during the hour we took some time out to take the picture below. This picture is of all the grandchildren on my father’s side and our partners (except for Josh, our photographer) with our grandmother.

Aside from having cocktails and appetizers, guests could also spend some of the cocktail hour looking at our family wedding photos. I decided I wanted to display as many family wedding photos as possible and in the end we displayed photos ranging from 1910 (my great-grandparents) to 2010 (my cousins).

I got my lovely friend Emily to help me with this project, because I’m better at thinking things up than at things like gluing and cutting in straight lines!

The photos were arranged by generations. The first was grandparents and beyond:

Then we had parents and aunts and uncles:

Finally, we had siblings and cousins:

With that, it was time for dinner!

Love your photo display! Does one color represent you and the other represent Mr. K? I don’t know why, I just thought that might be cool.

I love the idea of displaying family wedding photos. SO’s parents are divorced, so I’m not sure if that’s something I could do. Yours looks great!
