We did not deliberately include pets in our wedding, but we had the most adorable gate-crasher!

They didn’t have a part, but that didn’t stop the English Springer Spaniel. This is when my

We would love to have my parent’s/the family dog in our ceremony and toyed with the idea for awhile, but she’s just too insistently loving - she’d lick everyone’s makeup off and would run the risk of snagging a dress with her gentle pawing for snuggles. Also, she’s prettier than the bride (me), so she’d pull focus ;)

My wheelchair frenchie Bunny stole the show...

Hell, persimmons should edge out Bill. Read more

Well, not physically there, but they were a part of it in cardboard cutout form (and as mentioned in a previous post, cake topper form as well)!

Not officially, but she did mess up the rehearsal dinner a bit. The hotel we stayed at allowed dogs and my parents brought their/our Keeshond Loki up. The hotel provided treats for the dogs and she seemed to get settled in fine, so my folks and brother came to the rehearsal and dinner. Just before we were going to…

Yes and no. We got our fur babies the day after our wedding. We were in the process of adopting when we realized having a kitten in the middle of a wedding would be stressful for the little one, but we had to bring him home asap.

God, I love Katie Baker so much. They should let her run the thing and give in-depth coverage to all the white people stuff she loves, like the Weddings section, yachting, and getting drunk at Dorian’s. Read more

I was having a really stupid, unnecessary mental breakdown over the weekend about wedding planning and randomly wrote a post on one of the I Thee Dread articles (the one about “What Kind… Read more

Wedding traditions can be whatever you want them to be. I felt weird about the whole “asking the father for the bride’s hand” thing... until I realized it was FAR more about including my parents in the whole process then it was actually about any sort of anti-feminist property exchange or whatever.

I struggled FOREVER to find a simple, no beading, no lace, non-flowy gown. Rosa Clara has some beautiful, architectural, modern styles, albeit a bit pricy. Definitely worth looking at since there is so little out there and most styles can be customized or mixed and matched.
