Pardon the brief interruption from the honeymoon recap while we bring you a glimpse into the groom’s side of the wedding planning equation! Our photographer, Samantha Warren, recently ran a series of guest posts on her blog, titled “Bride’s Side”. She asked her previous clients to give advice to her future clients in the form of a blog post. Well, today she had to change up the title of her series just a bit, because Mr. Tiramisu volunteered (his wife may have coaxed him just a little) to offer his point of view, as well.
In response to Sam asking us, “What do you know now that you wish you had known then?”, Mr. Tiramisu had the following to say:

The second stop on our three-island honeymoon trip was Bora Bora! It’s a short plane ride from Moorea to the island of Bora Bora, and they serve fresh pineapple juice on the flight! We had been told in advance to sit on the left side of the plane, and were rewarded with views like these:

Mr. Tiramisu and I left the Monday morning after our wedding for a honeymoon in French Polynesia!
After two very long and honeymooner-filled plane rides, we were thrilled to land in Tahiti!
We were greeted with flower leis:
Having never been to Hawaii or anywhere else lei-worthy, I was just a little bit excited about that:

Sure, it might collect a little dust over the years. Yes, it might get relegated to the back of the closet for a while. And you might not pull it out every time a new guest comes over. Still. Get an album. Here’s why I think you should…

No, this is not a post about THAT! (I’ll leave that to you Miss Cheese!)
What I’m talking about is a little tradition that started in my group of friends back in 2006 when my friend L got married. I arranged to steal the key to their hotel room and set Mr. Tiramisu up with the task of decorating it for them. He set up rose petals, bubble bath, and candles in the room for them, and gave the hotel staff a bottle of champagne to put on ice and place in their room right before they got back. Take a look at his handiwork:

Photographer: Samantha Warren Weddings
Cannot Recommend Highly Enough!
If you’ve been following along with any of my wedding recap posts, then you already know that I am very much in love with the photos taken by our amazing photographer, Sam. She gave us over twelve hundred photos that together tell the story of our wedding day beautifully. It’s hard to pick favorites, but I’d have to say the ones I love the most are the photos she took of Mr. Tiramisu and me, all the great detail shots, and the wonderful shots of our guests enjoying themselves. A lot of the very sweet comments that you all left on my recap posts mention how much emotion there is in the photos. I think a lot of that has to do with Sam and her great eye for capturing the reactions and interactions of the people she photographs. If you want your wedding captured in a beautiful photojournalistic style that will really help you relive the day every time you look through your photographs, please don’t hesitate to contact Sam, who regularly travels all over New England and beyond.

I have gotten a lot of questions about our tent logistics. Hopefully these answers will be helpful to some of you! Having a “tent wedding” is a huge pain in the arse and I’d like to help anyone else trying to do it in any way I can!
Q: How many guests did you have under your tent? How was space under the tent?

Don’t worry, we sent (most of!) our thank yous out months ago. It’s just taken me this long to get around to sharing them with you.
On a great recommendation from Mrs. Eggplant, whose thank you cards I adored, I decided to go with PS Print for the printing. I designed the following layout in Photoshop, and easily uploaded it to their website:

During the final few songs that were played at our reception, I didn’t want to let go of my new husband. We kept asking each other, incredulously, “Did you have any idea how much FUN this was going to be!?”
I think in this photo we are screaming at each other the “BUM BUM BUUUUM” part of “Sweet Caroline”… you know, “good times never seemed so good”? It was appropriate.

Okay, okay, I know this might make me unpopular, but we did (and loved) both a garter toss and a bouquet toss. We’re among the first of our friends to get married, and have a ton of younger cousins, so we had plenty of willing participants. What can I say, we like tradition.
With all the craziness of the storm/power outage, our timeline had been thrown out the window and we almost forgot about the garter and bouquet tosses. Our band reminded us at the very end of the night, and so we just jumped up on stage and improvised.
Please excuse the disheveled bride and groom in these photos- we had been enjoying a packed dance floor for a solid two hours before these photos were taken! My updo was no match for humidity, rain, hail, and many dance floor twirls- and I was having so much fun that I couldn’t have cared less.
Mr. Tiramisu gets the crowd going:
