Tomorrow I will be celebrating my 5 year wedding
anniversary. This led me to look through my wedding pictures which led me to share a few of them with you.
Our wedding was a DIY event. We had a modest budget. Most of the money went to food and photographer. Sound familiar? I leafed through wedding magazines to find the little extras we would do ourselves. Today our wedding is already outdated, but 5 years ago chocolate and pink were THE colors! There are things I would choose to do differently, such as hire a real DJ! :)
I wouldn't change the fact that our closest friends all participated in helping before and the day of.
I loved all the little things I did participate in myself that day. I wrapped my bouquets, threw aisle petals down along with my bridesmaids, gathered aisle flowers with my sister in law, and placed my roses on top of my wedding cake. I gathered sand off the beach for our centerpieces, placed my own hair flower, and somehow managed to breath and walk down the aisle after all that with my Dad to see my now husband waiting for me right in front of the cliffs edge of Pismo Beach, CA.
This picture cracks my husband and I up! Seriously? Dog poop to the right of my dad. An event planner would have handled that right? Well, you can't catch it all and hope that your photographer photo shops it out.Ours didn't! LOL!
Also, photography has changed. Who ordered the chairs?
All in all our wedding day is a great memory we treasure. I have been blessed by many things in the past 5 years and I wish the same to all the couples I have worked with and will work with in the future.
