a few wedding details

Here are a few things going on with the wedding. I haven't talked much about it lately, mainly because I want everything to be a big surprise. Here are a few secrets I can leak...





This is the gazebo we are likely to be married in front of. The gardens are so beautiful! We are going to have string trio set up next to the gazebo. I have picked out all of the music yet but I'm working on it. My sister is going to sing while my brother plays the guitar to Steven Curtis Chapman's "I Will Be Here." My dad has a cousin who is in a band and he wrote a song (the title escapes me for the moment). My dad sang the song to my mother when they got married and it will be sung to us on our wedding day. My favorite line of the song is "happiness is knowing you're around."




I have always dreamed of having a sea of paper lanterns at my wedding. I want people to look at up and see the floating bubbles everywhere. My dreams were stomped when I found out how much they cost. You have to rent each one and then those cost $25 each to light! If we have a sea of lanterns all the guests may have to sit on the ground! That won't be happening.




This is our bad for the ceremony, E3. You may remember a song they had on the radio a while back, "Who's Got the Hooch." Hilarious! They should be a lot of fun. When we were scoping out bands we were allowed to crash a private party that they were playing. We didn't know a soul there and everyone was staring at us. By the end of the night we were in the house socializing with other party guests. It really was so funny.



We took our engagement pictures six months ago, but it took me forever to pick out the picture I wanted on a 16" x 20" modern canvas. Our awesome photographer, Vera Pakizer Photography, did the session and I can't wait until we can do the bridal portaits and the wedding day.

Have you thought about doing the Martha pom poms instead of the lanterns? They might work, although they don't light up :(

You have so much already planned and done!! It looks like it's going to be beautiful. And I love how you're using the same song your parents had at their wedding!
