Weddingbee Blog

I may or may not have jumped for joy upon receiving our digital files, because it means one thing: I can finally begin recaps!

Before I begin to re-experience of the wedding on your behalf, let me show you just a few of the wonderful works of art given to us by our photographers:

We’ve been married several months now, and there must be a bunch of you who weren’t yet hanging around when I got married…last summer! For those who might not know me, I’ve been blogging for Weddingbee since March of last year, and our wedding was originally an outdoor one before we came to our senses. My tastes tend toward the classic, and I only had a couple of DIY projects. I talked a little about being in an interracial relationship, and what it would mean for my husband to jump the broom with me.

I wrote about the importance of family, what it meant to be getting married without a father, and how awesome it is to be from several generations of amazing women. Choosing a dress was difficult, for all sorts of reasons, so I designed it myself. I even told you what I was planning to wear on our honeymoon. Besides my dress, my most difficult wedding planning decision was finding a photographer, but I managed to find two: one for our wedding and one for my bridal portraits.

One of my favorite things about writing these recaps (I’ve written some of them in advance) is seeing all of my wedding plans come to fruition, and contrasting the reality with the ideas I initially had. Prior to the wedding, I wasn’t able to finish posting about all our chosen details and wedding specifics. I hope you don’t mind if I include some of these in the recaps. It’s been so much fun to see the result of 18 months of planning and hard work!

Blogging for Weddingbee has been such a nice addition to my wedding planning process, and I’m happy to have something to write about again! We had a wonderful wedding, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
