Miss Opossum, Tallahassee Age and Occupation: 23, Aspiring Interior Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Soon to be Firefighter Engagement Date: October 30, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2012 Venue: The Retreat at Bradley's Pond About Me: I am a recent design graduate and aspiring interior architect that is a compulsive list maker, a Christmas light fanatic, and an avid nap-taker. This freckle-faced Southern girl loves being on the back of a horse, hanging out at the gym, and watching SVU with her rugby-playing fiance. It is a dream come true to finally be planning a wedding (in five months) to my high school sweetheart (of seven years). While preparing to tie the knot we're also balancing Fire College, grad school applications, jobs, and precious time with our supportive family and friends. We're moving fast...but are excited about enjoying every moment of this time in our lives!

Down to the Nitty Gritty

I love weddings. I love wedding details. I love all the thought that goes into the planning, the decor, and the dress. You’re all thinking “duh.” You’re a designer and a wedding blogger. Of course you love these things! If I didn’t I wouldn’t be blogging about them.

However…

My very favorite weddings are the ones that are 100% effortless looking. The ones that look like a beautiful girl bought a white dress on a whim and couldn’t wait any longer to marry the love of her life. I love weddings that really showcase the couple. I love wedding photos that bring to life the personality of the couple without taking a single shot of their decor. I think that this explains my infatuation and love for elopements.

At the end of the day, a wedding is about two people committing their lives to one another. Yes, a wedding is about merging two families…but really, you say your vows to each other.

A wedding should be a pure reflection of the couple and their love.

Thanks for this post, ‘Possum. When we got our pro pics back I was a little disappointed that we got almost no detail shots (especially since I DIYed all the details!). This made me feel better and reminded me that those missed shots really aren’t worth worrying over.

Such a great reminder, This is what I always pictured my wedding being. Simple and about two people - that is it. My fiance is wanting a formal event and I’ve now been planning a big wedding that I never dreamed but he thinks we should have. But when the day comes it will only be about us, and that makes me so Happy!
