My Man’s Wedding Band

June 23rd, 2008 @ 5:59 pm by Miss Cherry Pie

When last you heard from me about Mr. Cherry Pie’s wedding band, I was considering a tungsten carbide ring. Because EternalTungsten.com didn’t make rings in Mr. Cherry’s size, we went down to E.E. Robbins, Seattle’s engagement ring store to look at the tungsten bands they had in stock.

There were plenty of options, but none were just right for Mr. Cherry Pie. Some of the designs weren’t “him,” and many didn’t have the comfortable, low-profile fit that he wanted.

Wouldn’t ya know it though, there was this absolutely beautiful platinum and 18 karat ring sitting right next to the tungsten bands…

Please Mr. Postman

June 20th, 2008 @ 4:26 pm by Miss Cherry Pie

About the time I first started reading wedding blogs, I saw an inspiration board on Snippet & Ink called “A Little Bit Country” that made my heart beat a little bit faster. It wasn’t the color scheme, or even the overall similarity of the ambiance to my own country wedding. It was the image in the second row, third from the left. A vintage mailbox featured on Grapevine weddings to showcase their invitations:

I was absolutely smitten.

The Real Meal Deal

June 19th, 2008 @ 5:30 pm by Miss Cherry Pie

Our taste-testing adventure continued in Polebridge at the Northern Lights Saloon. The saloon is Polebridge’s one and only restaurant, run by the daughter of the merc’s owners. Occasionally, they hire an outside chef for the season, but this summer it looks like she will be the one cooking for us.

The Northern Lights is another of Polebridge’s great vintage buildings, complete with a front porch for kickin’ up yo heels:

You can’t see it in that photo, but there is a sign on the porch that says “unleashed dogs will be eaten.”

Montana-Flavored Favors

June 18th, 2008 @ 3:45 pm by Miss Cherry Pie

Now that you have an idea of what it’s like in Polebridge, maybe you can help me figure out which of the following favors from the funky Polebridge Mercantile would best serve as a memento for our guests.

Our maximum budget is $500, which equates to $5 per person (for 100 guests max), though it would be nice to spend less and still give a nice gift. We’ve got several options in or around that price range…

1. Homemade cookies!
The merc makes a LARGE variety of deeelicious cookies (not pictured). And at 3 for a dollar, they are a steal. We could easily package these up in some cellophane with a ribbon or a custom sticker and give them to guests. Everyone loves cookies… but they wouldn’t last long!

Polebridge: The “Grand” Tour

June 17th, 2008 @ 11:05 am by Miss Cherry Pie

You may have noticed that when I posted the final layout of our invitations, I listed “Bowman Lake” as our ceremony location and provided directions.

Bowman Lake is beautiful and peaceful, just 8 miles past Polebridge inside the remote Northwest reaches of Glacier National Park. It’s also flat and accessible, with plenty of parking and restrooms. We figured it’d be a perfect place to hold the ceremony, with a reception following in Polebridge.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Montana Recap to bring you this breaking news…

Last night, Mr. Cherry Pie and I booked our honeymoon!

This is so exciting for me, because we weren’t originally sure if we were going to have one. I didn’t know if I could take the time off because we’re already away for a week before the wedding, and we weren’t sure if we could scrape together the finances.
