When Weddingbee reader Sarah introduced me to Nicole and Cabel’s wedding, I knew we had to feature it on Weddingbee, so I contacted them right away.  Part One of this Real Wedding series will introduce you to the awesome pixel theme Nicole and Cabel created for their wedding.  In Part Two, you’ll get a glimpse into how their theme came together on their fabulous wedding day!

Most of the time we have brides sharing their perspective…

I first met our featured bride, Jenny, at a summer camp when we were in elementary school. We were in the same group and she even came over to my house once after camp ended… but soon thereafter we lost contact. Fast forward nearly 15 years when we subscribed to each other’s xanga sites.
